Summer Glau is celebrating her 45th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Summer Glau (Dollhouse, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Firefly, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 45th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Glau, a cultural icon

Born Summer Lyn Glau in San Antonio on July 24, 1981, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Glau'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 Summer hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Summer Glau as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 45.

Happy Birthday, Summer, you're the best!
