Charlie Rose is celebrating his 84th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed journalists of his generation.

Popular journalist-television host Charlie Rose (CBS This Morning, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 84th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Rose, a cultural icon

Born Charles Peete Rose, Jr. in Henderson on January 5, 1942, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Rose's not just a great journalist, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Charlie hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Charlie Rose as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 84.

Happy Birthday, Charlie, you're the best!
