Outstanding People of Britain (топик)

 

 

Outstanding People of Britain
Great Britain is famous for its poets, writers, musicians and scientists. It gave birth to such famous people as William Shakespeare, Robert Burns, Charles Dickens, Arthur Conan Doyle, Alexander Bell, Princess Diana, Sir Sean Connery, Joanne Rowling and many others. The Beatles band was also founded in Britain. However, it is very important to know contemporary British outstanding people and celebrities. This group includes writers, artists, actors, singers, sports people and politicians.
 

Joanne Rowling
Joanne Rowling is one of the most famous English writers in the world. Her Harry Potter series has been translated into many languages. Joanne Kathleen Rowling was born on the 31st of July in 1965, in Bristol, England. In her childhood she dreamt of becoming a writer. At the age of six Joanne wrote her first book about a rabbit. Like Hermione Granger, one of the characters of Harry Potter books, she was a know-it-all and a bookworm and her favourite subjects at school were English and foreign languages. After graduating from Exeter University, she worked as a secretary and then went to Portugal to teach English. Rowling had busy afternoons and evenings, but free mornings when she could write. In Portugal she married a TV-journalist, but the marriage wasn't successful, so she returned to Britain with her 4-month-old daughter. Joanne settled in Edinburgh, Scotland. The idea of a book about a young magician occurred to her in 1990, when she was going by train from Manchester to London. She quickly invented the main plot and some of the characters and in July 1997, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was published. It became an immediate success and was published in eight countries. There are seven Harry Potter books, five films based on the novels, Harry Potter computer games and a lot of goods with the Harry Potter trademark.
 

Sean Connery
Sir Thomas Sean Connery is an Academy Award-, Golden Globe-winning Scottish actor and producer who is best known as the first actor to have played James Bond in cinema, starring in seven Bond films. Sean Connery was born on August 25, 1930 in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh, to the family of a cleaning lady and a factory worker and truck driver. Connery's first job was as a milkman in Edinburgh, then he joined the Royal Navy, but was later discharged on medical grounds. Afterwards, he worked as a lorry driver, labourer, artist's model for the Edinburgh College of Art, coffin polisher, and bodybuilder. According to Connery's official website, he placed third in the 1953 Mr. Universe bodybuilding contest which led Connery to stage, television, and film work. Connery's breakthrough came with the role of secret agent James Bond. He acted in seven Bond films including Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever and Never Say Never Again. In 1987, he won the Academy Award for the Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Untouchables. Sir Sean Connery was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in July 2000. Connery is known for keeping his Scottish accent in films, regardless of the nationality of the character played. Despite being older than most contemporary actors, he has repeatedly been named as one of the most attractive men alive by various magazines due to his good looks.

In January 2007, it was announced that Beckham would leave Real Madrid and sign a five-year contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy. Beckham's new contract with the Galaxy, effective on July 1, 2007, gave him the highest salary of any Major League Soccer player in history. He has twice been runner-up for FIFA World Player of the Year, and in 2004 was the world's highest-paid footballer. Beckham was captain of England National Team from November 15, 2000 to July 2, 2006.

He has also gained a number of honours, including a knighthood in 1992 followed by a peerage, three Grammy Awards, an Oscar, an International Emmy, a Golden Globe and many others. Several of his songs, notably Don't Cry for Me, Argentina from the musical Euita, Memory from Cats, and The Music of the Night from The Phantom of the Opera have been widely recorded and were hits outside of their parent musicals. His company, the Really Useful Group, is one of the largest theatre operators in London.
 

Margaret Thatcher
Margaret Thatcher is a British politician, who used to be Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. She is the first and only woman to hold either post. Thatcher's term as Prime Minister was the longest continuous period in office since the tenure of Lord Liverpool who was Prime Minister in the early 19th century. She was the first woman to lead a major political party in the UK, and the first of only three women to have held any of the four great offices of state. Among other things, she defiantly opposed the Soviet Union, and her tough-talking rhetoric gained her the nickname t|he "Iron Lady". She currently has a life peerage as Baroness Thatcher, of Kesteven in the County of Lincolnshire, which entitles her to sit in the House of Lords. Not long ago a film was shot about Thatcher's life and career (The Iron Lady).
