PATRICIA QUINN
Patricia Quinn, Lady Stephens (born on May 28, 1944, in Belfast, Northern Ireland) is an actress best known for her role as Magenta in the perennial cult-hit movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). She is also known as the famous red lips that sang the film's opening song Science Fiction/Double Feature (although the singing voice was that of Richard O'Brien). She has appeared in many film and television roles including the Rocky Horror sequel, Shock Treatment (1981), as well as I, Claudius (1976), The Meaning of Life (1983), and the 1987 Doctor Who serial Dragonfire.
Quinn began her career as a Playboy Bunny in London, England, United Kingdom, and met the man who would become her first husband, Don Hawkins, when she was 19 years old, in 1963. Her first marriage to Hawkins ended in divorce, but produced a son, Quinn Hawkins (born 1971).
In January 1995, Quinn married the ailing British actor, Robert Stephens, whose wife she had played in the BBC serial, Fortunes of War. She thus became stepmother to his two actor sons by his previous marriage (to Dame Maggie Smith), Toby Stephens and Chris Larkin.
Robert Stephens died in November of that year, in which he was also knighted, thus giving his wife/widow the title of Lady Stephens.
