Gaby Hoffmann is celebrating her 44th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Gaby Hoffmann (Crystal Fairy & the Magical Cactus, Transparent, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 44th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Hoffmann, a cultural icon

Born Gabriella Mary Hoffmann in New York on January 8, 1982, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Hoffmann'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 Gaby hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Gaby Hoffmann as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 44.
