A lovely English lady with a mission to help others, while balancing a successful acting career and a loving family life.

“Born in Morocco and raised in Hertfordshire, England, my life turned Technicolor when I came to America,” says Stephanie Beacham, international star of stage, screen, and television.

THE STAR OF THE SHOW
Throughout her career, Stephanie has exhibited amazing versatility, appearing in over 60 television shows and movies. Stephanie has had the opportunity to spread her artistic wings in a wide range of milieus from sci-fi to prime-time dramas, which included a starring role in the 1993 smash-hit TV show, SeaQuest DSV. She also appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation; Beverly Hills 90210; and the popular TV series, Dynasty, for which she is best known for her role as the ultra glamorous and sultry Sable Colby. Stephanie’s long list of accomplishments also includes nominations for a Golden Globe (Sister Kate) and a People’s Choice Award (The Colbys).

FEELING HER POWER
A word to women in their 50s and older: “Never let age stop you from reaching your goals.” Stephanie lives this philosophy on a daily basis.

Stephanie's Philosophy:
“Never let age stop you from reaching your goals.”

When asked about her recent challenging role as Elizabeth I of England in Elizabeth Rex by Timothy Finley playing at a theatre in England, she said confidently, “I’m in my 50s and feeling my power. I couldn’t have been a minute younger or a minute less experienced for this special role.” It is this unshakable confidence that is a part of her ageless beauty.

HER SECRET “GOOD GIRL” PERSONA
Unlike the cool and calculating characters she’s played on TV, Beacham is in reality a very “down to earth” and kind person. “Every day I try to extend a kindness in some way, either by sending a postcard to somebody, or dropping a contribution in a charity box” she says. Stephanie has been a spokesperson for the American Speech, Language and Hearing Association and has worked closely with UNICEF. Completely deaf in her right ear, Stephanie has only 70% hearing in her left, but she doesn’t let this get in the way of her work. She also served on the Board of Directors for Free Arts for Abused Children and is associated with the Tinnitus Society of Great Britain and the Steering Dogs for the Impaired.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR
Her big break came when she was asked to co-star with Marlon Brando in The Nightcomers. Because of her superb performance and publicity from the film, she was offered work with the Nottingham Playhouse, which included A Doll’s House, The Homecoming, and The Tempest. Love bloomed when she appeared with her co-star, John McEnery, an old friend who later became her husband. Soon, two beautiful daughters, Chloe and Phoebe, entered their lives.

STAYING FIT… WITH NO EXCUSES
One of the most impressive things about Stephanie when you meet her is how youthful and fit she appears. Before our first interview, she had just returned from roller blading around her beach house. Not bad for a woman her age!

You can sum up Stephanie’s philosophy on fitness in a few short words: Staying fit takes work; not excuses. Stephanie does 30 minutes of aerobics 3 times a week. “For tone, you also have to use light weights. Carrying shopping bags doesn’t count. After all, how many excuses can you make?” says Stephanie.

A GLAMOROUS GRANDMA
When not filming a movie or TV show, she spends a good deal of her free time enjoying her grandson Jude. He keeps her hopping so much that she describes keeping up with him as, “The best aerobic exercise there is.” He can’t say the word “Grandma,” so he calls her “Glamour” instead, not knowing how perfectly that term describes Stephanie. “That Grandma part of me doesn’t give a two-pence about aging!” insists Stephanie.

If there was an award given for balancing a warm, loving role as Mother & Grandmother with the glamour and glitz of stardom, it would certainly go to Stephanie Beacham. Clientele salutes you, Stephanie, for being a lovely inspiration to all women at every age.
