Oliver Stone is celebrating his 79th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-producer Oliver Stone (The Doors, Wall Street, Platoon, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 79th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Stone, a cultural icon
