Wolfgang Petersen 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 Wolfgang Petersen (Troy, In the Line of Fire, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 83rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Petersen, a cultural icon
Born in Emden on March 14, 1941, Wolfgang Petersen's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in German history. Petersen'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 Wolfgang hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Wolfgang Petersen as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 83.
Happy Birthday, Wolfgang, you're the best!
