Elizabeth McGovern is celebrating her 65th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress-musician Elizabeth McGovern (Downton Abbey, Kick-Ass, Once Upon a Time in America, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 65th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.
