EILEEN ATKINS | 87

Eileen Atkins might have started her career in the 1950s, but it was in her 1999 movie, The Unexpected Man, that she won a Best Actress award from the Olivier Award. Atkins also won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for her performance in Cranford and the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actress. Some of the 87-year-old stars’ latest movies were Robin Hood and Magic in the Moonlight. Sadly, in 1995, Eileen was diagnosed with breast cancer, but she managed to beat the deadly disease and has fully recovered.

After receiving the right treatment, she made a complete recovery, making her fine today. At her age, Eileen has yet to announce her retirement plans. She has been part of the TV series Doc Martin last year and may have more projects coming in the future before she probably takes advantage of her insurance is a retirement plan.
