Career: O'Toole's professional career began at the Bristol Old Vic in 1954. Rave reviews led to film roles, but he didn't become a star until Lawrence of Arabia in 1962. He gained an Oscar nomination for his outstanding performance; further nods came for Becket, The Lion in Winter, Goodbye Mr Chips, The Ruling Class, The Stunt Man, My Favourite Year and Venus. During the late 1970s, he concentrated on health issues following serious illness, but on his recovery appeared in the likes of Casanova, The Tudors, Iron Road, Troy, Lassie, Stardust and Dean Spanley. In 2012, he announced his retirement from acting. He died a year later on December 14.

Career: Clark quickly became a favourite with not only BBC listeners, but the troops fighting during the Second World War. She went on to perform 500 times on radio and toured the country with fellow child star Julie Andrews. During a 1944 performance at the Royal Albert Hall, she was spotted by film director Maurice Elvey, who cast her in his weepy Medal for the General. More films, recording and TV work followed. She became an international star in the late 1950s and was able to sing in numerous languages, but it was the song Downtown in 1964 that sealed her reputation as a popular performer. Since then, Clark has continued to dabble in acting, as well as singing, touring and appearing in stage shows. She made her Broadway debut in Willy Russell's Blood Brothers in 1993 at the Music Box Theatre. She is the best-selling British female vocalist ever and received a CBE in 1998.
