Sofia Coppola is celebrating her 55th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress-director-screenwriter-producer Sofia Coppola (The Beguiled, Somewhere, Marie Antoinette, Lost in Translation, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 55th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Coppola, a cultural icon

Born Sofia Carmina Coppola in New York on May 14, 1971, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Coppola's not just a great actress, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Sofia hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Sofia Coppola as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 55.

Happy Birthday, Sofia, you're the best!
