Many Lives

The RADA trained actress and star of '80s blockbuster soap Dynasty reveals the highs and lows of her 40+ year career in this extraordinarily candid memoir   Best known for her incarnation as the smouldering super-bitch Sable Colby on Dynasty, Stephanie Beacham’s life has not always been glamour and glitz. Born with just 40% hearing, the young Stephanie had to overcome her deafness in order to make it in a profession where hearing meant everything. She struggled as a young actress, went through the pain and the heartache of a divorce, raised her children as a single-parent, and overcame a health scare which nearly killed her in her mid-thirties. And it would be this near death experience that would send Stephanie on what she describes as a ‘spiritual adventure’ to arm her with both the tools and knowledge she believes she needed to propel her through the rest of her life.
