Sir Ben Kingsley
Kingsley was born in Scarborough, Yorkshire, and grew up in Pendlebury, Salford, then in Lancashire. His father, Harji Bhanji, was a Kenyan-born medical doctor of Indian (Gujarati Hindu) descent, and his mother, Anna Lyna Mary, was a fashion model and actress; one of his maternal grandparents was a Jewish immigrant from Russia.He began his acting career on the stage at Manchester Grammar School alongside Robert Powell, but made a transition to film roles early on.
Kingsley's first film role was a supporting turn in Fear Is the Key (1972).He found fame only years later, starring as Mahatma Gandhi in the Academy Award-winning film Gandhi in 1982. Kingsley was critically acclaimed and won the Academy Award for Best Actor for the role.
He has won a Crystal Globe award for outstanding artistic contribution to world cinema at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2001.
Kingsley was awarded a knighthood in the 2001 New Years Honours list. On promotional material for the 2006 film Lucky Number Slevin, Ben Kingsley's credit included his honorary title. At first, the actor was singled out for some criticism as such things are usually omitted from professional credits. It transpired that this was a mistake by a studio executive, who was unfamiliar with the British honours system.
