A string of hit 1970s movies.
Early-life:
Simon Anthony Fox Ward was born in London on October 19, 1941. The son of a car dealer, he attended Alleyn's School, and knew from an early age that he wanted to be an actor. In his teens he became a member of the National Youth Theatre, remaining a member of the group for eight years. After that he studied at Rada, before beginning his professional career with the Northampton Repertory in 1963.
Career:
Ward moved on to theatres in Oxford and Birmingham, before making his London debut in 1964. His big break came three years later with a starring role in Loot, which led to several small TV and film roles. His first major movie role came in 1969's Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed. In 1972, he proved he could carry a film with a stirring performance in Richard Attenborough's Young Winston. Other hits from this period include The Three Musketeers, All Creatures Great and Small and TV versions of Dracula and The Four Feathers. In his later life, he worked extensively on stage, but occasionally had supporting roles in films and on TV. He died on July 22, 2012, after a long illness.
Quote:
'I'm not a dismal person, but I have decided that if you avoid becoming wildly elated then the occasional thin patches don't seem so bad.'
Trivia:
He was nominated for a Golden Globe and a Bafta for his role in Young Winston.
