Samatha Eggar's enduring trait remains her quick-witted sense of humor, a constant amidst the many changes that have taken place in her life. Born in England with a distinct upper-middle-class accent, she received a boarding school education before embarking on a journey that would take her to the United States.
Today, she resides in a secluded canyon in Los Angeles, surrounded by her two children, Jenna and Nicholas, and her stuntman boyfriend, Dick Ziker, who notably coordinated the stunts for the iconic film "Charlie's Angels".
Prior to her current life, Samatha was married to American actor and producer Tom Stern in Britain in 1964, but the couple divorced in 1970. Following their marriage, they relocated to the United States, with Samatha starring in the film "The Collector", earning her an Oscar nomination. Tom, on the other hand, pursued his own career, and the couple rented a house in Benedict Canyon, where the tragic murder of Sharon Tate would later occur.
After "The Collector", Samatha's career continued to flourish, with roles in films such as "Doctor Dolittle", "Walk Don't Run", and "The Molly Maguires". However, around 1973, she decided to retire from acting, opting for a more relaxed pace of life, free from the early morning wake-up calls and household responsibilities.
Although she did make occasional appearances on television, primarily for the educational channel, Samatha took a break from acting. It wasn't until the mid-1970s that she returned to the screen, starring in a TV series based on "The King and I" and a film for television. In 1976, she made a trip back to England to appear in the film "The Seven Per Cent Solution", but was gently reprimanded for speaking with an American accent, finding the country's money system perplexing, and struggling to recapture memories from her past.
