Born:
June 19, 1967
in
London
Best Known For:
Being Jude Law's ex-wife.
Early-life:
Born Sadie Liza Vaughan on June 19, 1967, in London. Her father is an artist and she was raised as part of a large bohemian family. She made her acting debut at the age of three in an advert and went on to study at the Italia Conti Stage School. Her first film was A Horse Called Jester, made in 1980. At 19, she went through a rebellious phase. She left home, moved to Manchester and became a punk, but soon returned to acting.
Career:
Stage work was followed by TV roles in Boon, Pulaski and Casualty. She won a regular part in the series Les Girls. The film Diamond Skulls helped her land a role in Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of Dracula, but few of her movies have built on that early promise. Other productions include The Krays, Splitting Heirs, An Ideal Husband, Love, Honour and Obey, and Soul Patrol. Frost also co-owned short-lived production company Natural Nylon with several of her celebrity friends.
Quote:
Her idea of happiness: 'A picnic by a river in the summer, with the finest wines and cheeses. Everything perfect - even remembering the salt and pepper.'
Trivia:
Away from acting, she co-founded the fashion label FrostFrench in 1999 with her friend Jemima French.

Early-life:
Geraldine Leigh Chaplin was born on July 31, 1944, in Santa Monica, California. She's the eldest of eight children from her father Charlie Chaplin's fourth and final marriage to Oona, daughter of playwright Eugene O'Neill. Geraldine was educated at boarding schools in Switzerland and made her screen debut aged eight in Limelight, directed by her dad. She originally wanted to be a ballerina, but eventually decided to concentrate on acting.
Career:
Geraldine began her professional career with roles in European projects, such as Gran Parada and Dernier Soir. Her breakthrough came in David Lean's adaptation of Dr Zhivago in 1965. She appeared in her father's A Countess from Hong Kong two years later. She's rarely been out of work since, mixing mainstream movies and TV shows with arty European fare. Among her more famous projects are The Three Musketeers and its sequels, Nashville, The Mirror Crack'd, My Cousin Rachel, White Mischief, Jane Eyre and Dinotopia. She also played her own grandmother in biopic Chaplin.
Quote:
'I thought it'd be easy to get into the movies as Charlie Chaplin's daughter. And it was. Except I wasn't much good as an actress.'
Trivia:
In 2006, she was awarded the Gold medal by the Spanish Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences.
Karen Black
(Actor)
.. Millicent
Marianne Faithfull
(Actor)
.. Club Singer
Born:
December 29, 1946
in
London
Best Known For:
Being Mick Jagger's ex-girlfriend.
Early-life:
Marianne Evelyn Gabriel Faithfull was born on December 29, 1946, in Hampstead, London. She's the daughter of Eva, the Baroness Erisso, and Major Glynn Faithfull, who was a spy during the Second World War. She was educated at a convent school in Reading, and left home at 17 to move to central London. The Rolling Stones' manager Andrew Loog Oldham spotted her at a party and decided to turn her into a pop star. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote her first single, As Tears Go By, which reached the top 10.
Career:
Faithfull enjoyed a few more hits, but her career was soon overshadowed by her relationship with Jagger. In the late 1960s she moved into acting, but her lifestyle took its toll on her work. Her drug problems worsened after splitting from Jagger in 1970, and she lived rough for two years, before making a comeback in 1979 with acclaimed album Broken English. She beat her drug habit in the 1980s. She continues to act and record, but in 2006 was diagnosed with breast cancer, from which she has now recovered. She's also published an autobiography called Faithfull and continues to tour and record.
Quote:
'Bad behaviour makes men more glamorous. Women get destroyed, thrown out of society and locked up in institutions.'
Trivia:
The first time the F-word was spoken in a movie was by her in I'll Never Forget What's'isname (1967).
