Joss Whedon is celebrating his 60th 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 60th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Whedon, a cultural icon

Born Joseph Hill Whedon in New York on June 23, 1964, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Whedon's not just a great screenwriter, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Joss hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Joss Whedon as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 60.

Happy Birthday, Joss, you're the best!
