Kyra Sedgwick is celebrating her 61st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer, Man on a Ledge, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 61st birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Sedgwick, a cultural icon

Born Kyra Minturn Sedgwick in New York on August 19, 1965, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Sedgwick'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 Kyra hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Kyra Sedgwick as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 61.

Happy Birthday, Kyra, you're the best!
