Career: Richardson began her professional career on stage at Leeds' West Yorkshire Playhouse, although she had appeared briefly as a flower girl in her father's 1968 film, The Charge of the Light Brigade. She made memorable early TV appearances in Ellis Island and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, before 1986 movie Gothic gained her international recognition. She made several films, including Patty Hearst, The Handmaid's Tale, Nell, Widow's Peak, The Parent Trap, Maid in Manhattan, Asylum and The White Countess. Her best performances, however, came on the stage in The Seagull, Hamlet, Cabaret (for which she won a Tony award) and A Streetcar Named Desire. On March 16th, 2009, Richardson sustained a head injury after falling during a beginner skiing lesson at the Mont Tremblant Resort in Quebec, and passed away three days later.

Career: While beavering away in theatre, where he was associate director of The Mermaid and had become an established star in the West End, Joss was also appearing in TV series such as The Avengers, Z Cars and The Persuaders. His most high-profile role came in the 1987 movie White Mischief, which brought him to the attention of Hollywood. Since then, he has amassed an eclectic body of work, including the films Lethal Weapon 2, The Hunt for Red October and These Foolish Things. His small-screen CV is equally impressive, and includes starring in Sky One's lavish adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Hogfather.
