Joss Whedon is celebrating his 59th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed screenwriters of his generation.

Popular screenwriter-producer-director-author-composer-actor Joss Whedon (The Avengers, Serenity, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 59th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
