Lin Shaye is celebrating her 81st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Lin Shaye (Insidious, There's Something About Mary, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 81st birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Shaye, a cultural icon

Born Linda Shaye in Detroit on October 12, 1943, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Shaye'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 Lin hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Lin Shaye as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 81.

Happy Birthday, Lin, you're the best!
