Bill Condon is celebrating his 70th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter Bill Condon (Beauty and the Beast, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Dreamgirls, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 70th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Condon, a cultural icon

Born William Condon in New York on October 22, 1955, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Condon's not just a great director, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Bill hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Bill Condon as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 70.

Happy Birthday, Bill, you're the best!
