Popular actress Georgia Engel (The Mary Tyler Moore Show, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 78th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Engel, a cultural icon

Born Georgia Bright Engel in Washington, D.C. on July 28, 1948, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Engel'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 Georgia hasn't done.
