Maggie Smith is celebrating her 89th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Maggie Smith (Harry Potter, Sister Act, Downton Abbey, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 89th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Smith, a cultural icon

Born Dame Margaret Natalie Smith in London on December 28, 1934, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Smith'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 Maggie hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Maggie Smith as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 89.

Happy Birthday, Maggie, you're the best!
