Joan Allen is celebrating her 69th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Joan Allen (The Bourne Legacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 69th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Allen, a cultural icon

Born in Rochelle on August 20, 1956, Joan Allen's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Allen'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 Joan hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Joan Allen as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 69.

Happy Birthday, Joan, you're the best!
