| Daniel Day-Lewis |
|
Daniel Day-Lewis was born in London in 1957, son of the English Poet Laureate Cecil Day-Lewis, and studied acting at the Bristol Old Vic School. After his debut film performance in Sunday Bloody Sunday in 1971, Day-Lewis would return to the stage before gaining international recognition for My Beautiful Laundrette in 1985. A true chameleon, Day-Lewis followed it with A Room With A View, in which he played the wonderfully priggish Cecil Vyse. He won a Best Actor Oscar for his realistic portrayal of the quadriplegic Irish artist Christy Brown in the 1989 film My Left Foot, and enjoyed box office success in Michael Mann's Last Of The Mohicans in 1992, before appearing in The Name Of The Father and The Crucible. He will next be seen in Martin Scorsese's epic Gangs Of New York. |

| David Niven |
|
Born in Kirriemuir, Scotland in 1909. With two generations of soldiers behind him, Niven went to Sandhurst and served with the Highland Light Infantry in Malta before travelling the world. Ending up in LA he found work as a film extra and, when his Queen's English and sophisticated wit were discovered, became a fully fledged actor, playing Bertie Wooster in Thank You, Jeeves! (1937). He was called up to the Commandos in WWII, but was granted leave to star in propaganda films, one of which turned out to be a stone-cold classic, Powell/Pressburger's A Matter Of Life And Death. Later he had his own TV vehicles before bowing out with The Curse Of The Pink Panther. |

| Demi Moore |
|
Born in Roswell, New Mexico in 1962, Demi Moore quit school at the age of 16 to become a pin-up-girl. She gained early fame in the 1980s TV series General Hospital and for her roles in No Small Affair, One Crazy Summer and the 1985 "Brat Pack" movie St. Elmo's Fire. Moore then got a leading role in The Seventh Sign and appeared with Robert De Niro and Sean Penn in the comedy We're No Angels. Huge box office success followed with Ghost in 1990, which Moore followed with lower key films such as Mortal Thoughts and The Butcher's Wife. After posing nude whilst pregnant in Vanity Fair, she had more success with A Few Good Men, Indecent Proposal and Disclosure. Moore's career has been quieter of late, following appearances in the less successful Striptease and GI Jane. |

| Dennis Hopper |
|
Born in Dodge City, Kansas, in 1936, Dennis Hopper was discovered as a teenager and signed by Warner Bros. His first role was in Rebel Without a Cause in 1955. Hopper left Tinseltown in 1958 to work as a photographer in New York, where he studied with method guru Lee Strasberg before, depending on who you believe, he wrote and directed all, most, some or none of Easy Rider. David Lynch rescued him from cult obscurity with Blue Velvet, in which he gave the world the willies as an oxygen mask-wearing, Tourette's Syndrome-suffering psycho. Hopper is a big collector of modern art. |
