Her father is Tariq Anwar and her mother is Shireen Anwar. Anwar attended Laleham Church of England Primary and Middle School from 1975 to 1982. Trinian's sketch in the school concert of 1982 gave an early indication of her theatrical leanings. She studied at the London drama and dance school, "Italia Conti". She appeared in many British television productions before making her film debut in Manifesto (1988).
Her first American movie was If Looks Could Kill (1991), in which she played the daughter of a murdered British Agent (played by Roger Daltrey). In 1992, she made a guest appearance on Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) as "Tricia Kinney". She followed that with the films, Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken (1991) (inspired by "A Girl and Five Brave Horses"), Scent of a Woman (1992), Body Snatchers (1993), For Love or Money (1993) and The Three Musketeers (1993). In 1994, People magazine named her one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world. One of her most memorable moments on screen came in 1992's Scent of a Woman (1992), when she danced a tango with Al Pacino, whose character was blind.as Joan of arc
When Joan of Arc was burned at the stake for heresy, her sword was shattered and two men, who were supposedly her body guards, were cursed to scour the ends of the earth to find the pieces and reassemble the sword. Joan was a Champion, one whose fate was tied closely to the struggle against the darkness that always lies in wait.
Annja was on hand when the final piece was found, and again when the pieces were all put together. At her touch, the Sword reformed and became magically tied to her. She has the ability to place the Sword in "otherwhere", where it can't be seen or taken by others, and draw it out with just a moment's notice.
No one can take the Sword from Annja. Even when she throws the blade at a foe, she can call it back to her hand. Time and space mean nothing to the Sword. It serves Annja and may, although no one is certain yet, draw evil to Annja so that it can be destroyed.- Actress

Rachel Hannah Weisz was born on 7 March, 1970, in London, U.K., to Edith Ruth (Teich), a psychoanalyst, and George Weisz, an inventor. Her parents both came to England around 1938. Her father is a Hungarian Jewish immigrant, and her mother, from Vienna, was of Italian and Austrian Jewish heritage. Rachel has a sister, Minnie, a curator and photographer.
Rachel started modeling when she was 14, and began acting during her studies at Cambridge University. While there, she formed a theater company named "Talking Tongues", which won the Guardian Award, at the Edinburgh Festival, for its take on Neville Southall's "Washbag". Rachel went on to star on stage in the lauded Sean Mathias revival of Noël Coward's "Design For Living". It was a role that won her a vote for Most Promising Newcomer by the London Critics' Circle.
She has starred in many movies, including The Mummy (1999), Enemy at the Gates (2001) and Stealing Beauty (1996). Rachel can also be seen in the movies The Shape of Things (2003), About a Boy (2002), Constantine (2005) and The Constant Gardener (2005), for which she won an Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Rachel has a son with her former partner, director Darren Aronofsky. In June 2011, she married "James Bond" actor Daniel Craig in a private ceremony in New York.as Annja Creed
Annja Creed is a world-traveling archaeologist with a penchant for adventure, lost cities, mysterious codes and puzzles, and shadowy history that was never recorded. Heir to Joan of Arc's mystic sword, Annja finds herself drawn into the webs of darkest villainy with lives on the line.
After growing up in an orphanage, where she developed a love of history—primarily because she didn't know her own history—as well as an interest in martial arts, Annja scored high enough to earn a full-ride college scholarship and studied diligently. She's achieved a Masters in Archeology, concentrating on medieval and renaissance time periods, and has specialized knowledge in anthropology, botany, art, and is perpetually a student of things that come her way. Her first major dig while in college was at Hadrian's Wall in England where the Romans battled the Picts.
Once she had her degree, Annja worked hard to gain recognition and finally caught a lucky break on the David Letterman Show. She's beautiful, charming, and extremely intelligent.
Within days of the Letterman appearance, Annja was offered a job working as a host on Chasing History’s Monsters, a syndicated television show specializing in sensationalizing the stories of vampires, serial killers, mythic beasts, mass murderers, and pop culture legendary beings.
Although Annja tries to bring a certain amount of factual material to the episodes she hosts, she invariably gets remembered (if she gets remembered at all, since the other hostess of the show was hired for her generous figure) more for the unbelievable aspects of the show than for any concrete details she reveals. This frustrates her, but the salary and expense account involved allows her to travel a lot and ensures she has a high public profile that brings other jobs her way.
In addition to the field work and the television career, Annja also researches COAs (certificate of authenticity) for different museum pieces and items in private collections. She's written several articles and a few books.
Her current base of operations is in a loft in Brooklyn, New York.- Actor

Writer, actor, comedian, doer of good works, excellent good friend to the famous and not, Fry lives in his London SW1 flat and his Norfolk house when not traveling. Famous for his public declaration of celibacy in the "Tatler" back in the 1980s, Emma Thompson has characterised her friend as "90 percent gay, 10 percent other."
Stephen Fry was born in Hampstead, London, to Marianne Eve (Newman) and Alan Fry, a physicist and inventor. His maternal grandparents were Hungarian Jewish immigrants, while his father's family was of English background. He grew up in Norfolk and attended Uppingham School and Stout's Hill. After his notorious three months in Pucklechurch prison for credit card fraud, he attended Queens College, Cambridge in 1979, finishing with a 2:1 in English in 1981/2. While at Cambridge, he was a member of the Cherubs drinking club, and Footlights with Thompson, Tony Slattery, Martin Bergman, and Hugh Laurie (to whom he was introduced by E.T.). His prolific writing partnership with Laurie began in 1981 with resulting Footlights revues for (among others) Mayweek, Edinburgh Festival, and a three month tour of Australia. In 1984, Fry was engaged to do the rewrite of the Noel Gay musical "Me and My Girl," which made him a millionaire before the age of 30. It also earned him a nomination for a Tony award in 1987. (Sidenote: It was upon SF's suggestion that Emma Thompson landed a leading role in the London cast of this show.) Throughout the 1980s, Fry did a huge amount of television and radio work, as well as writing for newspapers (e.g. a weekly column in the "Daily Telegraph") and magazines (e.g. articles for "Arena"). He is probably best known for his television roles in Blackadder II (1986) and Jeeves and Wooster (1990).
His support of the Terence Higgins Trust through events such as the first "Hysteria" benefit, as well as numerous other charity efforts, are probably those works of which he is most proud. Fry's acting career has not been limited to films and television. He had successful runs in Alan Bennett's "Forty Years On," Simon Gray's "The Common Pursuit" with John Sessions, Rik Mayall, John Gordon Sinclair, and others. Michael Frayn's "Look Look" and Gray's "Cell Mates" were less successful for both Fry and their playwrights, the latter not helped by his walking out of the play after only a couple of weeks. Fry has published four novels as well as a collection of his radio and journalistic miscellanea. He has recorded audiotapes of his novels (an unabridged version of "The Liar" was released in 1995), as well as many other works for both adults and children.as Roux
Roux is an old man apparently in his sixties who has been alive even longer than the five hundred years he admits to. He loves golf and Texas Hold 'Em poker. He lives in a castle-like mansion outside of Paris, France. He has a mentor relationship with Annja, but draws the line at ever becoming a father figure. Although he will help Annja on occasion, he wants her to be strong, fierce, and independent. Annja just wants to interview him and see the things he’s seen. He's operating on his own agenda, tracking down various items purported to have magical powers, and sealing them away from the world. And if he has to entice Annja and lie to her about it, he'll do that. Roux's a man that will take care of his own needs first.- Oded Fehr was born on 23 November 1970 in Tel Aviv, Israel. He is an actor, known for The Mummy Returns (2001), The Mummy (1999) and Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999). He has been married to Rhonda Tollefson since 22 December 2000. They have three children.as Garin Braden
Garin Braden was Roux's apprentice five hundred years ago. A bastard child, he was ill-treated in his father's house by his father's wife. He was given by his father to Roux at an early age just to get him out of the house. Five hundred years later, he's rich, arrogant, and contemptuous of Roux. Over six foot tall, athletic and masculine, he sports a goatee and long black hair and dark eyes. He's afraid that the reassembly of the Sword has put an end to his longevity, and believes that if the Sword were destroyed again that he might live forever. However, where he was once Annja's bitterest rival for Roux's attention as well as wanting to destroy the Sword, he’s found himself respecting Annja Creed more and more. - Actor
