Ivan Reitman is celebrating his 79th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.
Popular director-producer Ivan Reitman (Up in the Air, Ghostbusters, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 79th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Reitman, a cultural icon
Born in Komárno on October 27, 1946, Ivan Reitman's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Canadian history. Reitman's not just a great director, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Ivan hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ivan Reitman as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 79.
Happy Birthday, Ivan, you're the best!
