Richard Attenborough (1923–2014) was a British actor, filmmaker and entrepreneur. He is best known for bringing on screen the life and teachings of the great Indian leader Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in the epic movie GANDHI. Starting out as an actor, he was initially stereotyped as someone who played cowardly characters. He then went on to play various characters, proving his versatility as an actor. Attenborough had already made a mark as an actor, but he became an international icon when he directed the film GANDHI for which he received two Academy Awards. Apart from Gandhi, he also made several other successful movies. He also served as the president of ‘British Academy of Film and Television Arts’ (BAFTA) and the ‘Royal Academy of Dramatic Art’ (RADA).
