Alia Shawkat is celebrating her 36th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Alia Shawkat (The To Do List, Arrested Development, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 36th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Shawkat, a cultural icon

Born Alia Martine Shawkat in Riverside on April 18, 1989, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Shawkat's not just a great actress, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Alia hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Alia Shawkat as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 36.

Happy Birthday, Alia, you're the best!
