Stephanie Beacham – 74, Barnet
Stephanie Beacham, a Barnet native, is another stunning actress who has performed in television, theater, film, and even radio! She is perhaps best remembered for her role in the film The Nightcomers (also featuring Marlon Brando), but she rose to prominence as a small-screen performer. She has appeared in Tenko on BBC, Connie on ITV, and Dynasty on ABC. She appeared as a retired lady in the TV series Boomers in 2014. However, the role did not motivate her to leave the entertainment industry. Instead, she’s been working harder than ever, and she’s got three new projects in the works, including the action-thriller Renegade, which stars Danny Trejo.
