Mélanie Thierry is celebrating her 45th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Mélanie Thierry (The Princess of Montpensier, Largo Winch, Babylon A.D., ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 45th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Thierry, a cultural icon

Born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye on July 17, 1981, Mélanie Thierry's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Thierry'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 Mélanie hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Mélanie Thierry as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 45.
