Michael Moore is celebrating his 72nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed journalists of his generation.

Popular journalist-director Michael Moore (Sicko, Bowling for Columbine, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 72nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Moore, a cultural icon

Born in Flint on April 23, 1954, Michael Moore's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Moore's not just a great journalist, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Michael hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Michael Moore as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 72.

Happy Birthday, Michael, you're the best!
