Roberto Benigni is celebrating his 73rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.
Popular actor-director-screenwriter Roberto Benigni (To Rome with Love, Life Is Beautiful, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 73rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Benigni, a cultural icon
Born Roberto Remigio Benigni in Manciano on October 27, 1952, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Italian history. Benigni'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 Roberto hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Roberto Benigni as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 73.
Happy Birthday, Roberto, you're the best!
