Woody Allen is celebrating his 90th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-actor-comedian-musician Woody Allen (Midnight in Paris, Manhattan, Annie Hall, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 90th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Allen, a cultural icon

Born Allen Stewart Königsberg in New York on December 1, 1935, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Allen'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 Woody hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Woody Allen as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 90.

Happy Birthday, Woody, you're the best!
