Ken Loach is celebrating his 89th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.
Popular director Ken Loach (Looking for Eric, The Wind That Shakes the Barley, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 89th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Loach, a cultural icon
Born Kenneth Loach in Nuneaton on June 17, 1936, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Loach's not just a great director, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Ken hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ken Loach as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 89.
Happy Birthday, Ken, you're the best!
