A north London drama school dedicated to helping the working class launched the careers of six famous actors - but how many do you recognise? The Anna Scher Theater, which began as a drama club in 1968, was designed to help children get out of the streets. Soon, there were classes of more than 70%, some as young as six years old, and some as young as six years old, with a 10-p per session. Many members of the working class had no intention of becoming actors or famous, but Anna Scher, a business legend who died on November 12 at the age of 78, made them into some of the country's biggest names in television and film.

Cosmo's parents immigrated to London in 1964, just at the start of a swinging London. They bought a four-story terraced Georgian house in Islington, North London, for about £10,000. 'It was a complete dump that, under my parents' influence, became a vibrant dump with character,' he says. Fran Fran to his mother Fran in the living room and the kitchen to the right.

I lived near Percy Circus in central London, which was essentially a roundabout with a green in the middle, until I married my first wife, aged 22. By that time, I was in Spandau Ballet, so I was spending a lot of my time on the road. I was rolling in it as soon as Spandau was on Top Of The Pops, but it doesn't work like that - I still had to borrow 20 quid from Mum and Dad if I was meeting my friends at the pub for a drink. Josephine and father Patrick, my mother, had three bedrooms. I was one of three children - Lee, my older brother, Steve, and myself - all grew up in a bedroom with my brother. My Islington youth was very different from today's Islington. Any of the neighbouring families would use the Merlin Street washing sinks, but we're lucky that Dad had a bathroom built in the house. Dad joined the RAF at the age of 16, and during the war, he dropped bombs on the Lancaster bombers that were flying across the Channel. He joined the Daily Mail as an electrical engineer, earning good money. I'd pop down to Fleet Street to visit him in the machine room - no one was worried about health and safety back then.

Patsy Kensit is perhaps best known for her tangled love life after a long career in showbusiness. And now, at the age of 54, the actress has effectively ruled out having any romantic relationships following four failed marriages on Loose Women. To the ITV panel, Christine Lampard, Coleen Nolan, Linda Robson, and Denise Welch said she 'can't be bothered' with men.
