| Paul Newman |
|
Paul Newman was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1925 and after being discharged from the navy at the end of the war studied at Yale Drama School and the New York Actors Studio. He made his movie debut in 1954's The Silver Chalice and thought his performance so bad, he took out an advert to apologise. He won his first Oscar nomination opposite Elizabeth Taylor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in 1958 and was nominated four times in the 60s, the last for his directing debut Rachel, Rachel (1968). Turkeys such as When Time Ran Out were rare and he improved on his Oscar nomination for The Hustler by winning the award for the sequel, The Color Of Money, in 1986. |

| Peter O'Toole |
|
Born in Connemara, Ireland in 1932, Peter O'Toole grew up in Leeds, the son of a bookmaker. O'Toole left school at 14 to work at the Yorkshire Evening Post, initially as a messenger boy and later as a cub reporter. He started acting at 17 and, after two years in the navy, won a scholarship to RADA, where he studied alongside Alan Bates and Albert Finney. He debuted on film in 1959 (The Savage Innocents), but his ticket to stardom came in 1962 with the title role in Lawrence of Arabia, one of his seven Oscar nominations. Further nominations came with his two interpretations of the role of Henry II, in Becket and The Lion In Winter. |

| Peter Sellers |
|
Peter Sellers (1925-80) won his first break by ringing a BBC producer and impersonating two stars. He came to fame with the Goons but, wanting more money, repeatedly threatened to walk out. After bewitching Kubrick in Dr Strangelove, for which he won an Oscar nomination, he continued to play multiple parts in many of his films. Will always be remembered with affection for his unforgettable roles in comedy classics The Party (1968) and The Pink Panther series of movies, without which no Christmas TV schedule would be complete. |
