| Anjelica Huston |
|
Directing legend John Huston's daughter was born in LA in 1952 but grew up in Ireland,
as her father was going through his European period at the time. Anjelica came from nowhere in 1969 when Daddy cast her in A Walk With Love And Death, one of his weakest efforts. She then disappeared again for years, appearing with long-term squeeze Jack Nicholson in The Postman Always Rings Twice before surprising everyone by winning an Oscar for Prizzi's Honor, another John Huston film. Since then
she has played a host of dark, feline characters, as befits someone who owns 11 cats. |

| Anthony Hopkins |
|
Born in Port Talbot, South Wales, in 1937, Hopkins joined a local drama club at 17
before attending the Welsh College of Music and Drama. A RADA scholarship led to an audition in front of Olivier for a position at the
National Theatre, which he won. His first major film role was that of Richard the Lionheart in 1968's The Lion In Winter, but the 70s
and 80s provided mostly TV work. He hit the big time when Gene Hackman turned down the role of Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs,
and his Oscar-winning performance led to three more nominations in six years. |

| Arnold Schwarzenegger |
|
Born in Graz, Austria, in 1947. Arnie defied his father, who wanted him to be a
footballer, to take up bodybuilding and by 1968 had won the sinister-sounding Junior Mr Europe title. In America he won numerous
contests including Mr World, Mr Universe and Mr Olympia before giving up bodybuilding to star in a film about bodybuilding, Pumping
Iron (1977). From there he played the lead in two Conan films and followed them with The Terminator (1984). Somehow, Arnie then
became the world's biggest movie star, and he proceeded to make a series of hugely successful blockbusters, mixing in light comedies
in the 90s. A staunch Republican, it has been suggested that he might one day run for office. |

| Audrey Hepburn |
|
Born in Belgium in 1929. The daughter of an English banker and a Dutch baroness,
Hepburn attended a private girls school in London when her parents divorced. She returned there after the War on a ballet scholarship,
and began a modelling career before taking acting classes. After an early showing in The Lavender Hill Mob she took the lead role in Gigi
on Broadway (though not in the cinema adaptation) and from there starred in Roman Holiday (1953). She brought her fragile charm to a
string of hits over the next decade and a half, earning a fifth nomination for Wait Until Dark in 1967. After that she virtually gave
up acting, spending most of her time on charity work. |
