Kristen Connolly is celebrating her 46th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Kristen Connolly (House of Cards, The Cabin in the Woods, As the World Turns, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 46th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Connolly, a cultural icon

Born Kristen Nora Connolly in Montclair on July 12, 1980, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Connolly'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 Kristen hasn't done.
