Stephanie Beacham – Age 76

Being born with no hearing in her right ear, Stephanie Beacham dreamed of teaching deaf children dance movements. Nevertheless, she was sidetracked by a modeling career, which eventually led her towards Hollywood. One of her first acting breaks was starring in the movie ‘The Nightcomers’ opposite legendary actor Marlon Brando.

Yet, despite been given a chance to appear in movies, Beacham found success in television instead. The TV series ‘Tenko’ and ‘Connie’ featured the star’s acting prowess. Of course, to this date, the actress is best remembered for her role as devious matriarch Sable Colby on the soap opera ‘The Colbys,’ -a role which she reprised in ‘Dynasty.’
