Susan Hampshire

She currently stars in Monarch of the Glen. She died in London, England. In 1969, she starred as Sarah Churchill in The First Churchills, and in 1974, she played the lead in another 26-part serial, The Pallisers. In addition to her films, she continued to work as a theater actress, winning a Tony Award in 1949 for The Madwoman of Chaillot. Susan Hampshire appeared in several long-running television serials, notably in the BBC's blockbuster, The Forsyte Saga (1967), in which she played Fleur. Some of her other films include Anna Karenina (1948), The Fan (1949), Anastasia (1956), The Admirable Crichton (1957) and The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964). In her autobiography, Susan's Story, she publicised her experiences, and her work on behalf of dyslexics eventually led to her being awarded the O.B.E. From this time she divided her time between British and Hollywood films.

Her appeal was that of an "English rose", and few people were aware of her problem with dyslexia. The Wicked Lady (1945) was an international success, but it was her next film role, as Miss Havisham in Great Expectations (1946) that brought her renown as a film actress. Soon afterwards, she was taken up by Walt Disney, and starred in The Three Lives of Thomasina and The Fighting Prince of Donegal. She appeared in British films for more than twenty years before she achieved her greatest success in middle age. She first became famous after playing the lead in a 1962 BBC adaptation of What Katy Did. She began her acting career in Liverpool before moving to London where she appeared frequently with the Old Vic. Susan Hampshire (born 12 May 1938) is an English actress best known for her many film and television roles. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina to British parents, Hunt spent the first ten years of her life in Argentina, before her parents returned to England.
