Sheila Beryl Grant Attenborough, The Lady Attenborough〔Since the Lady Attenborough's late husband was a peer, her correct style is the Right Honourable Sheila Beryl Grant Attenborough, the Lady Attenborough.〕 (born 5 June 1922 in Liverpool, Lancashire), known professionally by her maiden name Sheila Sim, is an English film and theatre actress and the widow of the actor and director Richard Attenborough. ==Career== Sim was mainly active as an actress in the 1940s and 1950s. She appeared in the Powell and Pressburger film, ''A Canterbury Tale'' in 1944; she acted alongside her husband in the Boulting brothers' ''The Guinea Pig'' in 1948; and starred opposite Anthony Steel in 1954's ''West of Zanzibar''. In theatre, she notably co-starred with her husband, Richard Attenborough, in the first production of ''The Mousetrap'' by Agatha Christie, which opened in London in 1952 (creating the role of Mollie Ralston). This thriller has since become the world's longest-running production of a play. After recruitment by Noël Coward, Sim has actively served the Actors' Charitable Trust for more than 60 years. She was instrumental in the success of two redevelopments of the actors' care home, Denville Hall, in the 1960s and 2000s, and is currently a Trustee and Vice President of the charities. Sim has been a significant benefactor to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), where she originally trained; her husband was RADA's president from 2003 until his death in 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sheila Sim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
