Tim Burton is celebrating his 68th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-producer Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland, Ed Wood, Batman, Beetlejuice, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 68th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Burton, a cultural icon

Born in Burbank on August 25, 1958, Tim Burton's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Burton's not just a great director, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Tim hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Tim Burton as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 68.

Happy Birthday, Tim, you're the best!
