As Sable Colby, Alexis' cousin and arch-rival, Stephanie Beacham brought serious British steel to the Dynasty universe, first in spin-off The Colbys and later in the original show. Cool, cutting, and fabulously composed, Sable became one of the franchise's great late-era power players.

Beacham has enjoyed a flourishing career, with early credits including Dracula A.D. 1972, Tenko, and Connie. Later roles in Beverly Hills, 90210, Bad Girls, and Coronation Street, not to mention stints on the UK's Celebrity Big Brother and Strictly Come Dancing, have kept her in the spotlight.
