Kelly Macdonald is celebrating her 49th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Kelly Macdonald (Boardwalk Empire, No Country for Old Men, Trainspotting, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 49th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Macdonald, a cultural icon

Born in Glasgow on February 23, 1976, Kelly Macdonald's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Scottish history. Macdonald'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 Kelly hasn't done.
