Sally Ann Howes – 91, St. John’s Wood
The always lovely Sally Ann Howes is the late comedian Bobby Howes’ daughter and actress/singer Patricia Malone’s daughter. Unsurprisingly, she chose to follow in her parents’ footsteps and build a name for herself in the entertainment industry. She rose to prominence in the 1940s, appearing in films such as Dead of Night and The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby. She later appeared in the blockbuster 1968 musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Howes hasn’t been seen on screen since 1992, when she participated in the mini-series Secrets. She achieved considerable success as a film star, but she also worked extensively in the West End and on Broadway, earning British-American citizenship.

Sarah Lancashire – 56, Oldham
Sarah Lancashire, the star of Last Tango in Halifax, is one of the youngest actresses on our list, but she still has decades of performing ahead of her. Lancashire, a former drama teacher at the University of Salford, has continually demonstrated that she is also a committed student of the performing arts. She spent years on Coronation Street before getting roles in Happy Valley, School of Roars, and MotherFatherSon. Her outstanding acting career was most likely inspired by her father, famed British scriptwriter Geoffrey Lancashire. Julia, a new television series, will premiere in 2022.
