Curtis Hanson is celebrating his 80th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director Curtis Hanson (Wonder Boys, L.A. Confidential, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 80th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Hanson, a cultural icon

Hanson'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 Curtis hasn't done.
