Pauline Collins

Highest Rated: 80% Quartet (2012)

Lowest Rated: 18% The Time of Their Lives (2017)

Birthday: Sep 3, 1940

Birthplace: Exmouth, Devon, England, UK

This lovely British actress with china-blue eyes and a childlike smile is best-known in the USA for her role as the feisty Sarah in the TV series "Upstairs Downstairs," but has since played other widely-praised roles. Raised near Liverpool, Collins was a teacher until 1962, when she began to act part-time. She made her West End debut in "Passion Flower Hotel" in 1965, and spent the next few years building her reputation as a stage actress in many London (and touring) productions.
