Billy Crystal is celebrating his 78th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Billy Crystal (Parental Guidance, When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 78th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Crystal, a cultural icon

Born William Edward Crystal in New York on March 14, 1948, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Crystal'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 Billy hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Billy Crystal as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 78.

Happy Birthday, Billy, you're the best!
