This makes me feel a little old. Patricia Quinn, forever in our hearts as "Magenta" in The Rocky Horror Picture Show celebrates her 65th birthday today!
Unfortunately for Miss Quinn, she has never really been able to shake off the part that really made her a star around the globe - despite being a first-class actress, with roles in the classic series I, Claudius, Fortunes of War opposite Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson, and even Dr Who.
Facts about Patricia Quinn:
- She was born in Belfast.
