British actress Hampshire, born in 1938, won three Emmy Awards for her roles in Fleur Forsythe in The Forsythe Saga(1970), Sarah Churchill in The First Churchills(1971) and Becky Sharp in Vanity Fair(1973). An actor since childhood, Hampshire's first movie appearance was in 1947's The Woman in the Hall, but she didn't have her first taste of stardom until a bit role in the 1958 London stage production of Expresso Bongo. Walt Disney picked Hampshire up for a few films, including The Three Lives of Thomasina (1963) and The Fighting Prince of Donegal (1966).
