Vanessa Redgrave's Jubilee
On January 30, 1937 in London, in the family of the outstanding British actor Michael Redgrave ("Browning Version") and his wife, also an actress, Rachel Kempson, a daughter was born - Vanessa. Vanessa's very fate was destined to become an actress. And not only because of the origin of the acting family. Moreover, one of the most famous acting families: Vanessa's dad was knighted in 1959 for his contribution to the development of the British theater.
The fact that the girl was destined to become an actress was announced on the day of her birth by none other than the world-famous British actor Laurence Olivier. And he did it literally during the play "Hamlet", in which Vanessa's dad played the role of Laertes. “Our Laertes,” said Olivier, playing the role of Hamlet, “daughter was born that night, the future great actress.”
Of course, after such a statement by the great actor, the girl had no choice but to enter the Royal Central School of Speech and Dramatic Art immediately after graduating from a girls' high school in 1954. Since 1958, Vanessa Redgrave began to appear in the performances of the best London theaters and by the beginning of the 60s she became the most popular young actress in London.
In the same 1958, Vanessa Redgrave made her film debut in Brian Desmond Hirst's film "Behind the Mask", in which she played with her dad.
By her 85th birthday, Vanessa Redgrave has more than 80 roles in full-length feature films in her filmography, in addition to countless roles in television films and serials, as well as in the theater. Three films with the participation of Vanessa Redgrave entered the Golden Thousand, thanks to which, as well as thanks to the noble, aristocratic, purely British beauty, she was included in the list of the 100 most beautiful and sexiest Actresses in world cinema, compiled by FilmGourmand.
The cinematic work of Vanessa Redgrave has received international recognition, as evidenced by 50 film awards, including an Oscar, two Golden Globes, two Cannes Film Festival awards, a Venice Film Festival award, a David di Donatello award, as well as honorary awards from the BAFTA, San Sebastian and Venice Film Festivals.
From many of her colleagues in the acting profession, Vanessa Redgrave is distinguished by an extremely active civic position. Throughout her life, she constantly participated in a variety of, and sometimes with the opposite direction, political movements, organizations, actions, etc.
In commemoration of the Jubilee of the wonderful Actress, I want to remind her fans of the shots from the best films with her participation.
