Edward Zwick is celebrating his 74th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-producer Edward Zwick (Legends of the Fall, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 74th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Zwick, a cultural icon

Born Edward M. Zwick in Chicago on October 8, 1952, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Zwick'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 Edward hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Edward Zwick as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 74.

Happy Birthday, Edward, you're the best!
