Lord Richard Attenborough

One of my two all-time favorite movies is The Great Escape. One of the main stars in it was Lord Richard Attenborough, who played Big X. 

He married actress Shiela Sim in 1945, and they remained married until his death in 2014. During World War II, the Attenboroughs took in two German Jewish girls, whom they later adopted when it was learned their parents had been killed.
 
Attenborough collected Picasso ceramics.
