  Is Niecy Nash secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Niecy Nash is celebrating her 56th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed comediennes of her generation.

Popular comedienne-actress-model Niecy Nash (Scream Queens, Reno 911!, Claws, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 56th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Nash, a cultural icon

Born Carol Denise Ensley in Compton on February 23, 1970, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Nash's not just a great comedienne, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Niecy hasn't done.

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

Happy Birthday, Niecy, you're the best!
