Amber Heard is celebrating her 40th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress-model Amber Heard (The Rum Diary, Never Back Down, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 40th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Heard, a cultural icon

Born Amber Laura Heard in Austin on April 22, 1986, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Heard'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 Amber hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Amber Heard as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 40.

Happy Birthday, Amber, you're the best!
