Siân Phillips, born in 1933, is a Welsh actress, author, and singer, whose career spans over six decades. The daughter of a teacher and a steelworker-turned-policeman, Phillips grew up speaking only Welsh until she learned English through radio. Graduating from University College Cardiff in 1955, she joined the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts with a scholarship, alongside future stars Diana Rigg and Glenda Jackson. Known for her stage prowess, she won the Bancroft Gold Medal for her portrayal of Hedda Gabler and turned down Hollywood contracts to focus on her theatrical work.
