Ornella Muti is celebrating her 70th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Ornella Muti (The Count of Monte Cristo, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 70th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Muti, a cultural icon

Born Francesca Romana Rivelli in Rome on March 9, 1955, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Italian history. Muti'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 Ornella hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ornella Muti as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 70.

Happy Birthday, Ornella, you're the best!
