Susan Sarandon is celebrating her 80th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Susan Sarandon (Dead Man Walking, Thelma & Louise, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 80th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Sarandon, a cultural icon

Born Susan Abigail Tomalin in New York on October 4, 1946, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Sarandon'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 Susan hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Susan Sarandon as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 80.

Happy Birthday, Susan, you're the best!
