Description: Joan Collins with Richard Attenborough

Joan Collins: Joan Henrietta Collins OBE (born 23 May 1933) is a Golden Globe Award winning English actress and bestselling author. In 1951, she made her feature debut as a beauty contest entrant in Lady Godiva Rides Again and in 1952 she appeared in the film I Believe in You based on the book Court Circular by Sewell Stokes. In the early 1950s, she did double duty by posing for pin-up photos and acting in B-movies in Britain. After mild success, she was signed by 20th Century Fox in 1954 as their answer to Elizabeth Taylor. After losing such high-profile roles as Cleopatra (Collins was cast when Elizabeth Taylor fell ill, then let go upon Taylor's recovery), Collins continued to work in films and occasionally in television. Her notable guest appearances on American TV during the 1960s included Batman, Mission: Impossible, Police Woman, and the now widely popular Star Trek episode "The City on the Edge of Forever". In the 1970s, Collins starred in the film versions of her sister Jackie Collins' racy novels The Stud and The Bitch, appearing nude in both. The films were smash hits in England, becoming the most profitable films since the James Bond series.

Richard Attenborough: Born Richard Samuel Attenborough in Cambridge, August 1923. He began is film career in as a deserting sailor in In Which We Serve (1942). He worked in British films for the next 30 years, and in the 1950s appeared in several successful comedies. In the late 1950s he formed a production company, Beaver Films, with Bryan Forbes producing projects including The League of Gentlemen (1959), The Angry Silence (1960) and Whistle Down the Wind (1961), also acting in the first two of these. He has continued to work in films in character roles throughout. He won the 1982 Academy Award for Directing for his historical epic, Gandhi. Modern audiences will recognise him as the misguided benefactor behind Jurassic Park (1993) and its sequel (The Lost World, 1997) John Hammond. As of 2004, Lord Attenborough is President of RADA and chairman of Capital Radio, and the Chancellor of the University of Sussex.
