Minnie Driver is celebrating her 56th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress-singer-songwriter Minnie Driver (The Phantom of the Opera, Good Will Hunting, GoldenEye, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 56th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Driver, a cultural icon

Born Amelia Fiona J. Driver in London on January 31, 1970, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Driver'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 Minnie hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Minnie Driver as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 56.

Happy Birthday, Minnie, you're the best!
