Ryan O'Neal is celebrating his 85th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.
Popular actor Ryan O'Neal (Bones, Barry Lyndon, Paper Moon, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 85th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
O'Neal, a cultural icon
Born Charles Patrick Ryan O'Neal, Jr. in Los Angeles on April 20, 1941, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. O'Neal'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 Ryan hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ryan O'Neal as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 85.
Happy Birthday, Ryan, you're the best!
