Broadway star Sarah Brightman was the
inspiration behind such stage hits as Phantom of the
Opera and Requiem, written in her honor by ex-husband
Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Born August 14, 1960 in Berkhampstead, England,
Brightman began dancing at the age of three, and ten
years later made her London theatrical debut in
Charles Strouse's I and Albert. By 1976, she was a
dancer on the television series Pan's People, and
later led the pop group Hot Gossip, which in 1978
scored a U.K. number one hit with the single "I Lost
My Heart to a Starship Trooper.".
