David Attenborough – Born in 1926, Blue Planet II

Unlike his older brother, David Attenborough never saw the appeal in acting. His passion was, first and foremost, science. Luckily for him, he had the drive and commitment to make a successful career as a biologist, broadcaster, and historian. Today, he is widely celebrated for his work on the natural history documentary series “Life.”

Attenborough began his work at the BBC as a producer for the factual broadcasting department. But he had such big ambitions, so he wasn’t content to remain in the background. He finally got his chance in 1979 when he began writing the “Life” documentary series, which showcased the marvels of the natural world.
