Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, UK:
Richard Samuel Attenborough, baron Attenborough, né le 29 août 1923 à Cambridge (Royaume-Uni) et mort le 24 août 2014 à Richmond, à Londres (Royaume-Uni), est un acteur, réalisateur et producteur de cinéma britannique. Il est notamment connu pour son rôle de Bartlett dans La Grande Évasion de John Sturges ou celui de John Hammond dans Jurassic Park de Steven Spielberg. Il décroche l'Oscar du meilleur réalisateur en 1983 pour Gandhi, un film biographique avec Ben Kingsley dans le rôle-titre. Richard Attenborough grandit à Leicester. Il effectue ses études secondaires à la Wyggeston Grammar School for Boys. Il décide de devenir acteur après avoir visionné La Ruée vers l'or (The Gold Rush) de Charlie Chaplin en 1935. Son père, recteur de l'université, accepte à condition qu'il parvienne à décrocher une bourse d'études du Leverhulme Trust. La bourse lui est décernée et lui permet d'étudier à la Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) de Londres. Richard Attenborough fait ses débuts au théâtre alors qu'il est encore étudiant. Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il passe trois ans dans la Royal Air Force en tant que caméraman et prend part à des missions de reconnaissance. Richard Attenborough a joué dans une cinquantaine de films. Il fait ses débuts en 1942 en tenant un petit rôle dans Ceux qui servent en mer (In Which We Serve) de Noël Coward et David Lean. Il interprète un jeune voyou, Pinkie Brown, dans Le Gang des tueurs (Brighton Rock), adaptation sortie en 1947 d'un roman noir de Graham Greene. Pour les besoins du film, il s'entraîne avec les joueurs du Chelsea Football Club. En 1948, sa prestation dans The Guinea Pig de Roy Boulting est louée par la critique. Son fan club compte alors 15 000 adhérents. Au cours des années 1950, il apparaît dans des comédies, comme Ce sacré z'héros (Private's Progress) de John Boulting en 1956 et Après moi le déluge (I'm All Right Jack), du même réalisateur, en 1959. ...
