Early life and education

James Broadbent [1] was born on 24 May 1949 in Holton cum Beckering, [2] in Lincolnshire, the second son of Doreen "Dee" Findlay, a sculptor, and Roy Laverick Broadbent, an artist, sculptor, interior designer and furniture maker. [3] Broadbent's parents were both amateur actors who co-founded the Holton Players acting troupe at Holton. [4] The two have been described by the BBC as conscientious objectors who "worked the land" rather than participate in World War II. [3] In Wickenby, a former Methodist Chapel was purchased in 1970 by Holton Players, who converted it into a 100-seat theatre, named Broadbent Theatre in memory of Roy Broadbent, who designed the conversion.

Broadbent was educated at Leighton Park School, a Quaker school in Reading, [5] and briefly attended art college before transferring to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. He graduated in 1972. [6] His early stage work included appearances as Patrick Barlow's assistant in the mock National Theatre of Brent . [7]

1971–1989: Rise to prominence

Broadbent's early stagework included a number of productions for The National Theatre of Brent as the downtrodden assistant Wallace to Patrick Barlow's self-important actor-manager character Desmond Olivier Dingle. Broadbent and Barlow played many male and female character roles in comically less-than-epic tellings of historical and religious stories, such as The Complete Guide to Sex, The Greatest Story Ever Told , Revolution!! , and All The World's A Globe. These were hits at the Edinburgh Fringe, in London, and on tour. In 1978, he notably appeared as two alien guards Vroomfondel and Shooty in the Primary Phase of the groundbreaking radio series The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. [8] Forty years later, he took the role of Marvin in the Hexagonal Phase radio series. [9] Towards the end of the decade, Broadbent began appearing in small roles on television and films, including a Fielder in The Shout and Mackanees in the Play for Today episode Long Distance Information. He also appeared in an edition of Not the Nine O'Clock News , playing a Union Negotiator.

It began as a type of flu but it grew progressively worse. She was subject to blackouts and became so debilitated that she could barely get out of her wheelchair. It led to years of pain and paralysis that ended in her death. Broadbent portrayed the title role in the Channel 4 drama Longford in October 2006, earning a BAFTA TV Award, a Golden Globe and a 2007 Emmy nomination for his performance as Frank Pakenham (1905–2001), Earl of Longford, which was centred on Longford's ultimately unsuccessful campaign for the parole of Myra Hindley from her life imprisonment for the Moors Murders.
