Richard Linklater is celebrating his 62nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter Richard Linklater (Boyhood, Dazed and Confused, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 62nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Linklater, a cultural icon

Born Richard Stuart Linklater in Houston on July 30, 1960, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Linklater's not just a great director, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Richard hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Richard Linklater as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 62.

Happy Birthday, Richard, you're the best!
