Happy Birthday, Ellen Burstyn! (www.imdb.com)

One of my personal favorite actors, award-winning Ellen Burstyn is probably best known for her role as the possessed Regan's mother, Chris MacNeil, in The Exorcist and again in the recent (but less charming) The Exorcist: Believer. But this fabuous lady has a equally fabulous career 50 years strong!

She is one of only 24 people to have achieved The Triple Crown of Acting; her inclusion in this elite set are her Oscar® for Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore in 1974, a Tony for the stage version of Same Time, Next Year in 1975, and an Emmy for her appearance on Law and Order: SVU in 2009.

Among her more acclaimed films are The Last Picture Show, the aforementioned Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, the film version of Same Time, Next Year, How To Make An American Quilt, Requim For A Dream, and *The Fountain*.

And this magnificent lady was born here in Detroit 91 years ago today! I'd like to wish Ms Burstyn a most wonderful day! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎂🍾
