RICHARD ATTENBOROUGH

The English actor will always get credit for being among Great Britain’s best. He was President of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and has won numerous accolades for his varied performances, including appearances in The Great Escape, Jurassic Park, The Sand Pebbles, and Miracle on 34th Street. His outstanding performance results in a back to back recognition for Best Supporting Actor from Golden Globe Awards.

If his name is familiar, then your guess is correct—he is related to Sir David Attenborough, who is the actor’s younger brother. Aside from being an actor, Richard has a production company known as the Beaver Films together with Bryan Forbes. He is also an award-winning director for his historical film Gandhi where he bagged numerous recognitions from the Academy and Golden Globes. For years, he had heart problems. Because of his age and worsening health, Richard eventually passed away in 2014, a few days shy of his 90th birthday.
