About Duncan Heath

Born 1946. Duncan Heath is a talent agent.

Duncan Heath (born June 1946) is a British talent agent, producer and the co-chairman of Independent Talent Group, Europe's largest talent agency, based in London. His clients include many leading figures in the British film industry, including Anthony Hopkins, Michael Caine, Maggie Smith, Ian McShane, Steve Coogan, Tom Hooper, Sam Mendes, Jonathan Glazer and Mike Newell.

Early life Duncan Heath's father, Barrie Heath, poses on the wing of his Spitfire during the Battle of Britain, 1940. Heath was born in June 1946, the son of Sir Barrie Heath (1916–1988), a decorated former Battle of Britain Spitfire pilot and later chairman of the industrial conglomerate GKN. Their relationship was not always cordial, and Heath later recalled that his father disapproved of him entering the entertainment industry, adding that he "wanted me to go work in some dark Satanic mill somewhere". He found the money to start the business by betting the remains of his wages from William Morris on a horse that his mother had running at Newbury. The horse came in at 35:1 and Heath found himself with £3,500, a sum he described as "a shitload of money in the 1970s". His clients include Anthony Hopkins, Michael Caine, Maggie Smith, Ian McShane, Steve Coogan, Tom Hooper, Sam Mendes, Jonathan Glazer and Mike Newell.

In 2000, he was a jury member for the British Independent Film Awards

Heath's second wife was film producer Lex Lutzus, with whom he has two children, Jacob and Edie Heath. They have since divorced.
