Yaya DaCosta is celebrating her 43rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress-model Yaya DaCosta (The Nice Guys, The Butler, The Kids Are All Right, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 43rd birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

DaCosta, a cultural icon

Born Camara DaCosta Johnson in New York on November 15, 1982, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. DaCosta'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 Yaya hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Yaya DaCosta as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 43.

Happy Birthday, Yaya, you're the best!
