Kelly Ripa is celebrating her 55th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress-television host Kelly Ripa (Live! with Kelly and Michael, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 55th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.
