Joanna Lumley is a national treasure after her contributions to the art world. The 78-year-old found fame after hitting the fashion world like a storm and then going on to become a Bond Girl.

She was catapulted to stardom after starring in the popular BBC series Absolutely Fabulous. Joanna won two BAFTA Awards for her role as Patsy Stone and is often seen donning iconic looks at star-studded events.

From The New Avengers to Sapphire and Steel, she has played leading roles on countless television shows. Back in 2011, she was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play for the Broadway revival of La Bête.

Meanwhile earlier this year she shared the small screen with former Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan. The duo were in the Harlan Coben series Fool Me Once which was an instant hit and trended on Netflix for weeks.

Earlier this year it was titled as the number one show on the streaming platform. Before her acting days, Joanna was a top catwalk model for huge brands.
