Sean Penn is celebrating his 66th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.
Popular actor-director-screenwriter Sean Penn (Milk, Mystic River, I Am Sam, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 66th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Penn, a cultural icon
Born in Santa Monica on August 17, 1960, Sean Penn's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Penn'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 Sean hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Sean Penn as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 66.
Happy Birthday, Sean, you're the best!
