Timothy Dalton was born to an American mother of Italian-Irish descent, and English father who was a captain in the Special Operations Executive during WWII. He went to Herbert Strutt Grammar School, and was a member of the Air Training Corps at LXX (Croft & Culcheth) Squadron during his teenage years. Dalton joined the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 1964, and that’s when his career as an actor started.

His debut on TV came in 1966 in the movie “Troilus and Cressida”, and he also participated in ten episodes of “Sat’day While Sunday” in 1967. Later, Dalton appeared Anthony Harvey’s Oscar-winning biography-drama called “The Lion in Winter” (1968) with Peter O’Toole, Katharine Hepburn, and Anthony Hopkins, and after that in “Cromwell” (1970) starring Richard Harris, Alec Guinness, and Robert Morley, “The Voyeur” (1970), and starred in “Wuthering Heights” (1970), which only helped him built his career, and also increase his net worth.

Dalton continued to earn his money mainly thanks to his work in theater until 1978, but had two other parts in the meantime: in “Mary, Queen of Scots” (1971) starring Vanessa Redgrave, Glenda Jackson, Patrick McGoohan, and “The Executioner” (1975) with Dirk Bogarde, Ava Gardner, and Bekim Fehmiu. From 1978, Dalton frequently appeared in TV and film, starting with “Sextette” (1978), and resuming in “Agatha” (1972) starring Dustin Hoffman and , and as Oliver Seccombe in the series “Centennial” (1978-1979), increasing further his net worth.

He was busy in the 80’s with parts in “Flash Gordon” (1980), “Chanel Solitaire” (1981), and had a leading role in series “Jane Eyre” (1983) playing Edward Fairfax Rochester. Dalton then appeared in “The Master of Ballantrae” (1984), in three episodes of “Mistral’s Daughter” (1984), “Antony and Cleopatra” (1984), “The Doctor and the Devils” (1985) with Jonathan Pryce and Twiggy, “Florence Nightingale” (1985), and in series “Sins” (1986).

He was twice offered the chance to succeed Sean Connery as the new James Bond, but Dalton first time refused because he thought that he was too young, and the second time because he had other arrangements and a busy schedule. However, he later accepted, and had his debut as James Bond in the 1987 “The Living Daylights”, and later filmed another Bond film entitled “Licence to Kill” (1989). With these two roles, Dalton’s net worth significantly increased, and he became even more popular.

Between the two Bonds, Dalton played in “Hawks” (1988) and “Brenda Starr” (1989) with Brooke Shields, and later starred in “The King’s Whore” (1990) and “The Rocketeer” (1991) with Billy Campbell, Jennifer Connelly, and Alan Arkin, before appearing in an episode of “Tales from the Crypt” (1992). Timothy played Eddie Myers in the TV mini-series “Framed” (1992), had a leading role in the movie “Red Eagle” (1994), and portrayed Rhett Butler in mini-series “Scarlett” (1994), which added a considerable amount to his net worth.
