Joel Coen is celebrating his 70th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director Joel Coen (No Country for Old Men, The Big Lebowski, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 70th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Coen, a cultural icon

Born Joel David Coen in St. Louis Park on November 29, 1954, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Coen'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 Joel hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Joel Coen as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 70.

Happy Birthday, Joel, you're the best!
