  Is Judith Light secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Judith Light is celebrating her 77th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress-producer Judith Light (One Life to Live, Ugly Betty, Who's the Boss?, Transparent, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 77th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Light, a cultural icon

Born Judith Ellen Light in Trenton on February 9, 1949, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Light'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 Judith hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Judith Light as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 77.

Happy Birthday, Judith, you're the best!
