David Lynch is celebrating his 78th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-musician-actor David Lynch (Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, Dune, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 78th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Lynch, a cultural icon

Born David Keith Lynch in Missoula on January 20, 1946, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Lynch'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 David hasn't done.

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

Happy Birthday, David, you're the best!
