George Miller is celebrating his 80th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.
Popular director-screenwriter-producer George Miller (Mad Max, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 80th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
