Alan Alda is celebrating his 90th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Alan Alda (The West Wing, M*A*S*H, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 90th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Alda, a cultural icon

Born Alphonso Joseph D'Abruzzo in New York on January 28, 1936, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Alda's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Alan hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Alan Alda as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 90.

Happy Birthday, Alan, you're the best!
