Monica Potter is celebrating her 55th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Monica Potter (Parenthood, The Last House on the Left, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 55th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Potter, a cultural icon

Born Monica Gregg Brokaw in Cleveland on June 30, 1971, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Potter'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 Monica hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Monica Potter as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 55.

Happy Birthday, Monica, you're the best!
