My most recent blog on this subject came from film director, Jason Figgis. You can read what he had to say here
Today it's the turn of my good friend Oydsseas, the brilliant talent behind Art & Hue.
Diana Rigg
Whilst
Honor Blackman portrayed the first strong independent female character
on British television, it was Diana Rigg who took it to another level
globally when The Avengers was aired on American & European
television. Smart, witty, and stylish (and with a mean karate chop), she
embodied 1960s modernity and Swinging London around the world. Still
fabulous at nearly 80 years old, and still working in quality film &
television projects, she grants cult status to every project she's
appeared in.
Joan Collins
Unapologetically strong-minded and
glamourous, Joan Collins is a real example of hard graft paying off, all
whilst being beautiful and funny. From B-movies in the 1950s and cult
TV shows in the 1960s, it was her racy 1970s films and Cinzano adverts
that paid the bills until she owned the 80s as Alexis Morell Carrington
Colby Dexter.
Joanna Lumley
From On Her Majesty's
Secret Service, The New Avengers and Sapphire & Steel onwards, I
could never understand why Joanna Lumley wasn't on our screens more.
Captivating, funny, and beautiful, it was a delight to see her make fun
of herself on Ruby Wax's show which led to her iconic creation of Patsy
in Absolutely Fabulous.
Audrey Hepburn
Charming, beautiful,
kind, and funny, Audrey Hepburn's life may have started in difficult
times but she brought pure joy through her films as well making a
difference with her humanitarian work with UNICEF.
Peter Hinwood
An art student in
Swinging London, Peter Hinwood initially modelled for fashion magazines
and brands including John Stephen's Carnaby Street shops. A life-size
image of him, wearing only swimwear, appeared in the dressing room of
the first women's shop on Carnaby Street called Trecamp. After his
memorable appearance in The Rocky Horror Picture Show wearing gold
shorts, it's inspirational that he turned his back on entertainment and
returned to his first love of art and antiques. Currently living in
Morocco, his London and Tangiers homes have appeared in The World of
Interiors (and you can follow him sharing images of his glam past,
antique finds, and Moroccan life on Instagram at hinwood06).
