Trending

The field of show business is an interplay of hard work and luck, including the grit to gamble. It can transition from up to down in a matter of weeks, months, and years. A star can experience its full brightness at one peak and dim in just one shift.

However, the Hollywood stars we listed here have left stories of how they achieved the top. Some of them have shied away from the limelight after their stardom. Still, the names they have made for themselves will forever be carved in the bricks of the industry.

Jane Seymour (Born In 1951) – Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman

Jane Seymour is a British-American actress born as Joyce Penelope Wilhelmina Frankenberg. She is best known for starring in “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Women” in 1993. In addition, her appearance in “Live and Let Die” gained her international recognition.

A director advised her to learn the American accent to get more roles on American television. After that, she started getting more parts and awards, earning five Emmy nominations for “Onassis: The Richest Man in the World.” Seymour then went on to add more accolades to her name and appeared on the series “B Positive” in 2022.

Helen Mirren (Born In 1945) – The Queen

Helen Mirren is the only actress to bag the Triple Crown of Acting in the United States and the United Kingdom for her performance as Queen Elizabeth II in “The Queen.” The Triple Crown of Acting is the highest American film and television award.

In 2003, Mirren was appointed a Dame for drama at Buckingham Palace during the Queen’s birthday. In 2013, she was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. With all these successes attached to her name, it is impressive to know that Mirren is still starring numerous projects. She even acted as the narrator in the series “When Nature Calls” in 2022.

Penelope Keith (Born In 1940) – To The Manor Born

Penelope Keith possesses a particular skill that most actors would kill to have. She only has to flip through about five pages of a script to determine whether or not it would be a good fit for her, which is how she was able to tell that “To the Manor Born” would be a worthwhile series.

Keith had just won the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actress for her performance in “The Norman Conquests” before landing the role of Audrey fforbes-Hamilton in “To The Manor Born.” And she’s received many more accolades during her decades-long career. Keith made her last TV appearance on “Death Comes to Pemberley” in 2013.

Joan Collins (Born In 1933) – The Virgin Queen

Joan Collins has been in the prime game since the early ’50s. This is not surprising as she started expressing interest in acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in her teenage years. Her first leading role was Elizabeth Raleigh in “The Virgin Queen.”

It seemed like her early interest in acting grew a lot as she played diverse roles in films like “Esther and the King,” “Dynasty,” and “The Royals.” Aside from acting, Collins is also known for her advocacy towards causes relating to children. In 2021, it looked like she was far from retiring and appeared in “2020: The Movie.”

Michael French (Born In 1962) – EastEnders

The English actor Michael French was born in the early ’60s and began partaking in school productions and plays as a teenager. His first breakthrough as an actor came in 1971 when he joined the cast of the Broadway musical “Godspell.” He later did many small productions before being cast for his most famous role as David Wicks in “EastEnders.”

His career now spans nearly four decades, and he has played a few other roles throughout those years. Some of his notable acting credits include his role as a clinical lead in the medical drama series “Casualty” and Jeff Slade in “Crime Traveller.”
