Sir Richard Attenborough's death is considered a big loss for the British film industry
1923-2014
Richard Attenborough started out as the quintessential character actor before conquering Hollywood as a director. Photograph: Camilla Morandi/Rex Features.
Sir Richard Attenborough was not only one of the most famous and well-succeeded British actors, but it was as director that he conquered Hollywood with two Oscars for Gandhi – the film took eight overall.
He was the President of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).
He also won four BAFTA Awards and four Golden Globe Awards. As an actor, he is perhaps best known for his roles in Brighton Rock, The Great Escape, 10 Rillington Place, Miracle on 34th Street and Jurassic Park.
He was the older brother of Sir David Attenborough, a naturalist and broadcaster, and John Attenborough, an executive at Alfa Romeo.
