Jeremy Irons – 72, Cowes

If you were born in the 1990s, you may be surprised to learn that Jeremy Irons is the guy behind Scar, The Lion King’s violent and ambitious villain. But that’s only one of a seemingly endless line of notable gigs for Irons. In addition, he has appeared in Dead Ringers, Lolita, and Justice League. Irons is a passionate activist and benevolent personality, as well as one of the few Triple Crown of Acting recipients. He is a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, a patron of the Chiltern Shakespeare Company, and one of many celebrities who joined the No Cold Homes campaign in the United Kingdom in 2015.

Jessica Benton – 72, Hampstead

Jessica Benton, the stunning former British actress, has been out of the spotlight for a time, but she will never be forgotten. She starred as Elizabeth Onedin in the BBC series The Onedin Line from 1971 to 1980 and has tragically never been on TV again. We last heard from her in 1993, when she was the topic of a brief Daily Mirror piece. The ever-discreet Hampstead native was residing in Dorset with her husband and daughter at the time. She was a pet enthusiast who supposedly had ten dogs and over a hundred chicks!
