Elle Fanning is celebrating her 28th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Elle Fanning (The Beguiled, The Neon Demon, Maleficent, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 28th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Fanning, a cultural icon

Born Mary Elle Fanning in Conyers on April 9, 1998, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Fanning's not just a great actress, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Elle hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Elle Fanning as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 28.

Happy Birthday, Elle, you're the best!
