Richard O'Brien is celebrating his 83rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-author Richard O'Brien (The Rocky Horror Picture Show, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 83rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Born Richard Timothy Smith in Cheltenham on March 25, 1942, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in history. O'Brien's not just a great actor, 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.
