Kathy Baker is celebrating her 75th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Kathy Baker (The Age of Adaline, Picket Fences, Edward Scissorhands, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 75th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Baker, a cultural icon

Born Katherine Whitton Baker in Midland on June 8, 1950, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Baker'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 Kathy hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Kathy Baker as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 75.
