The South African-born Nigel Green featured in countless British productions of the 1960s. He starred opposite Stanley Baker (see below) in The Man Who Finally Died (1963) and Zulu (1964). He was the untrustworthy Major Dalby to Michael Caine's Harry Palmer in The Ipcress File (1965). He returned to villainous territory in 1967's enjoyable caper De...
Welsh leading man Sir Stanley Baker was knighted shortly before his premature death in 1976. His severe features served him well in a variety of hard man leading roles, and from the 1950s, Baker established himself as a leading actor in British film. He appeared with a great cast in The Cruel Sea (1953), saved himself from a psychotic Patrick McGoo...
The sudden death of Richard Beckinsale, aged only 31 (by far the youngest of our top ten), was deeply shocking. The loveable actor was a firm favourite with British TV viewers thanks to a string of appearances in classic sitcoms. He starred opposite Paula Wilcox in The Lovers (1970), but 1974-77 were the sweet spot of his career. Concurrently he st...
Almost always cast as a villain, Tony Beckley brightened up every production he was in, usually playing menacing or unhinged parts. He twice starred opposite Michael Caine: firstly as the outrageous Camp Freddie (the chap in the bright pink suit) in the 1969 crime caper The Italian Job, and then again as the blond-haired assassin Peter in Get Carte...
The brilliant and original comic performer rewrote the rules on good acting. With his rapid delivery and exaggerated physicality, there are few actors who could have become so revered for such an unusual approach. Rossiter twice worked with Stanley Kubrick – in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and in a more substantial role in Barry Lyndon (1975), in w...
Blessed with a memorable face and a remarkable natural talent, Ian Hendry quickly established himself as a leading man. He was the original star of The Avengers in 1961, before leaving the series and allowing supporting actor Patrick Macnee to step into the limelight. He remained busy, appearing in many productions, but his progression was hampered...
British television actor Maurice Colbourne came to prominence as the anti-hero John Kline in Gangsters (1976-78). The inventive series was way ahead of its time, used a multi-ethnic cast, and increasingly broke conventions, not least the fourth wall. Colbourne had his limitations – never handling comedy well – but his granite face enabled him to ca...
Considered one of the major acting talents of his generation, the charismatic Scot Ian Charleson came to international prominence in Chariots of Fire in 1981. He played the leading role of Eric Liddell, the athlete who won a gold medal at the 1924 Olympics. The following year, Charleson played another Christian missionary, taking the part of Charli...
My all-time favourite, Bob Peck [feature image] is one of those immensely talented actors who never gave a dud performance. Often cast in intense and dour roles, the Yorkshire-born actor nevertheless showed great versatility throughout his career. As a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company and a regular on London's West End, a vast amount of his ...
The handsome leading man with aristocratic good looks came through the ranks in the 1970s, but the 1980s proved his heyday. He joined the stellar cast of I, Claudius in 1976 as the ill-fated Lucius, and played a character of the same name in the sun and sandals epic Jesus of Nazareth later that decade. Joining Peter Ustinov, Bette Davis and David N...

Jan 17, 2024 · The world was changing in the 1960s, and so was the face of movie stardom. But who among the decade’s most popular movie stars are actually the greatest of all time?
- Marc Chacksfield
- 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 masterpiece pretty much wrote the rulebook for any subsequent sci-fi film with aspirations of being taken seriously.
- The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) Sergio Leone’s so-called Dollars trilogy would launch the career of Clint Eastwood, as well as setting the terms for tense, gritty Wild West action for generations to come.
- Psycho (1960) It’s startling to think that Alfred Hitchcock’s black and white horror masterpiece was made right at the start of the decade. Its lurid subject material, all about a disturbed motel owner who dresses up as his mother and kills women, was about as far removed from the staid ’50s vibe as can be imagined.
- Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) Stanley Kubrick was the master of any form of film making he set his mind to.
