Queen Latifah is celebrating her 55th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.
Popular singer-rapper-model Queen Latifah (What Happens in Vegas, Hairspray, Chicago, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 55th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.
Queen Latifah, a cultural icon
Born Dana Elaine Owens in Newark on March 18, 1970, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Queen Latifah's not just a great singer, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Queen Latifah hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Queen Latifah as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 55.
Happy Birthday, Queen Latifah, you're the best!
