Steve Martin is celebrating his 81st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-comedian-musician Steve Martin (The Pink Panther, Roxanne, The Jerk, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 81st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Martin, a cultural icon

Born Stephen Glenn Martin in Waco on August 14, 1945, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Martin'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 Steve hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Steve Martin as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 81.

Happy Birthday, Steve, you're the best!
