Melissa McCarthy is celebrating her 50th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress-comedienne Melissa McCarthy (Ghostbusters, Bridesmaids, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 50th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

McCarthy, a cultural icon

Born Melissa Ann McCarthy in Plainfield on August 26, 1970, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. McCarthy'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 Melissa hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Melissa McCarthy as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 50.

Happy Birthday, Melissa, you're the best!
