RICHARD ATTENBOROUGH – HEART DISEASE

Richard Attenborough was a jack of all trades—he was a renowned director, producer, and actor. He was even inducted as the President of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. While he enjoyed an illustrious career and a comfortable life, he suffered from health problems and even had to rely on a pacemaker to stabilize his heart. Attenborough has many professional achievements, but he is also passionate about his principles.

He believes that education is important and that having being cultured does not mean that one has the right to judge others based on their race, religion, color, and creed. Many were inspired by what he stood for, and this propelled him to build the Waterford Kamhlaba. Attenborough had a hugely successful career and was not facing bankruptcy, and therefore, he was able to afford the best treatment. However, due to his deteriorating health, he passed away on August 24, 2014, just a few days before he would have turned 91 years old.
