T ODAY VANESSA REDGRAVE, an empress of the screen (and one of my favorite women), turns 72. I’m sure Ms. Redgrave knows a thing or two about sisterhood: She is a sister to actress Lynn Redgrave and actor Corin Redgrave, and the mother of two daughters and a son (Natasha Richardson, Joely Richardson, and Carlo Negro). In addition to her work as a mother and actress, she has been a crusader for human rights throughout the past five decades. Above is a clip from her heartbreaking role in the 2000 TV movie If These Walls Could Talk 2. Some of my other favorite Redgrave characters are Isadora Duncan in Isadora, and transsexual Renee Richards in Second Serve (I could go on, but I’ll stop there).
And what roles of Vanessa Redgrave do you love?
