Sian phillips biography of albert

  The effortlessly elegant Sian Phillips, now 90 years old, has been opening up about her life and marriage to Peter O’Toole on the eve of a new Welsh documentary celebrating her remarkable life and career.

Her most notable role was in I, Claudius playing the murderous Empress Livia, but others such as playing Clementine Churchill and starring opposite Alec Guinness in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy are equally memorable.

  What is extraordinary is that she had to put her career on hold for two decades since O’Toole could not cope with a successful working wife.

Eventually his drinking drove her to the brink and she had an affair to force him to let her go. He never spoke to her again.

  She was born 14 May 1933 and is a charming Sun Venus in Taurus with her Sun in a downbeat square to Saturn and her Venus square a showbizzy Mars Neptune in Virgo.

Her Moon is probably Capricorn.

  Her Sun Venus was conjunct O’Toole’s Ascendant so she was an asset for his image
