  Is Candela Peña secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Candela Peña is celebrating her 53rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Candela Peña (All About My Mother, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 53rd birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Peña, a cultural icon

Born María del Pilar Peña Sánchez in Barcelona on July 14, 1973, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Spanish history. Peña'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 Candela hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Candela Peña as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 53.

Happy Birthday, Candela, you're the best!
