Walter Hill is celebrating his 83rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-producer Walter Hill (48 Hrs., ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 83rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Hill, a cultural icon

Born in Long Beach on January 10, 1942, Walter Hill's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Hill'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 Walter hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Walter Hill as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 83.

Happy Birthday, Walter, you're the best!
