Sônia Braga is celebrating her 76th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Sônia Braga (Kiss of the Spider Woman, Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 76th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Braga, a cultural icon

Born Sônia Maria Campos Braga in Maringá on June 8, 1950, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Brazilian history. Braga'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 Sônia hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Sônia Braga as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 76.

Happy Birthday, Sônia, you're the best!
