Early-life:
Nadia Sawalha was born in London on January 18th, 1964 to Bobbie and actor Nadim Sawalha. She originally wanted to follow a career in nursing until she was bitten by the acting bug after appearing in a school play at the age of 13. When she threatened to throw herself out of a window if her mum and dad didn't send her to stage school, they didn't have much choice. She has never looked back, even when younger sister Julia shot to stardom on the small screen first. Nadia trained at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts and began her career on the stage.

After waiting more than 10 years for her big break, Sawalha landed the role of tough businesswoman Annie Palmer in EastEnders in 1997.

Quote:
"I've never bowed to the pressure to be thin. I think people like seeing a TV presenter who looks real."

April 20, 1924

Best Known For:
His catchphrase: "Well, hel-lo."
Early-life:
Leslie Samuel Phillips was born in north London, on April 20, 1924. His father worked for Main Gas Cookers and died when Phillips was nine, leaving his mother to bring up three children alone. Inspired by his victory in a beautiful baby competition, she enrolled her son at the Italia Conti stage school and put him on the boards to earn extra money. From age 14, he toured almost permanently. His mother also paid for elocution lessons to make sure he dropped his cockney accent and gained the plummy voice we all know and love.

His early career was interrupted by the Second World War, but he went into rep after being demobbed. On the big screen, his breakthrough film was Train of Events in 1949, which marked the beginning of a lengthy movie career. Phillips has appeared in Carry On films, the Doctor series and more dramatic movies such as The Sound Barrier and The Longest Day. He disappeared from the silver screen for nearly a decade before returning in Out Of Africa. Other recent films include The Jackal, Saving Grace, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Venus and Late Bloomers. He also provided the voice for the Sorting Hat in the Harry Potter movies.
Quote:
"It's very flattering to be viewed as something of a hot property again at my age."
Trivia:
He was awarded an OBE in 1998.
