John Lithgow is celebrating his 79th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.
Popular actor-musician-author John Lithgow (Dexter, 3rd Rock from the Sun, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 79th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Lithgow, a cultural icon
Born John Arthur Lithgow in Rochester on October 19, 1945, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Lithgow's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little John hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for John Lithgow as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 79.
Happy Birthday, John, you're the best!
