Leslie Caron is celebrating her 95th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress-dancer Leslie Caron (The L-Shaped Room, Gigi, Lili, An American in Paris, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 95th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Caron, a cultural icon

Born Leslie Claire Margaret Caron in Boulogne-sur-Seine on July 1, 1931, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Caron'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 Leslie hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Leslie Caron as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 95.

Happy Birthday, Leslie, you're the best!
