Stephanie Beacham

Celebrity Big Brother kicked off on Channel 4 yesterday night, but before you watch the first ‘proper’ show tonight, here’s a bit about our inmates from their C4 biographies.

Stephanie Beacham's first claim to fame came as a 21-year-old when she was chosen to play a nude scene alongside Marlon Brando. Stephanie has had an extensive film, television and theatre career on both sides of the Atlantic. She was nominated for a Golden Globe (for Sister Kate) and a People's Choice Award (The Colbys).

In 2007 Stephanie took part in the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing and in early 2009 joined the cast of Coronation Street as Martha, the love interest of Ken Barlow. Stephanie has two daughters and one grandson who she insists calls her "Glamma" rather than Grandma.
