		Redgrave presented evidence at trial that she earned more than $200,000 on the average since her company's fiscal year 1976, and she testified that she had a constant stream of offers from which she could choose films that had secure financial backing.
		Redgrave conceded that her agents had informed her, prior to April 1982, that certain producers were hesitant to hire her because of the controversy she generated.
		Redgrave had to introduce enough facts for a jury reasonably to infer that any drop in Broadway offers was proximately caused by the BSO cancellation and not by the fact that producers independently were concerned with the same factors that had motivated the BSO.

		Vanessa Redgrave, born in 1937, is a fully-fledged member of an acting dynasty.
		She is the daughter of actors Sir Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson, sister of Corin and Lynn Redgrave, and mother of Natasha and Joely Richardson.
		But Redgrave's left-wing politics have probably not helped her screen career, and some admirers have pointed out that most other actresses of her eminence have been made Dames.

	Vanessa Stops By
		At 60 she still remembers the bombing of Coventry, England during WWII ("I was 4 years old when I saw a city in flames"); reading newspaper accounts of Nazi concentration camps as a young girl; and hearing the radio broadcast of the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights in 1946.
		Redgrave and Kirschke met when the actress traveled from Washington with two Amnesty reps to visit Freedom Gate, the Reading halfway house for released inmates of Berks, including political detainees.
		For Vanessa Redgrave, activism, particularly in defense of human rights, is as much her life's work as acting is. In fact, her art and her political engagement—as Philadelphia audiences will see on Sunday—are inseparable.

		Except for Redgrave’s unusually mercurial Mary, on whom the play is centered, the production is more respectful than revelatory — a careful buffing rather than a recarving of Mount Rushmore.
		What’s odd, since Redgrave’s performance is so riveting, is that the one moment of the production I did not believe was hers: the play’s final speech.

		As he slumped over his oar in atlanta, British rower Steven Redgrave gasped: "If anyone sees me go near a boat again, they have my permission to shoot me." Redgrave had just joined the élite of sportsmen who have won gold at four successive Olympics, but physically and mentally he was exhausted.
		Before the Atlanta final Redgrave says he was "pretty certain when I went out for that race that I wasn't going to row again." He recently admitted that the decision to quit lasted, "in my mind, about two days." Publicly it took about four months before he was clearly hooked again.
		Redgrave and his partner in the pair, Matthew Pinsent, predicted that they would win in Atlanta, but as the July 27 race drew nearer the pressure intensified.

		Redgrave rises to the challenge and portrays the chilling metamorphosis which Hecuba undergoes with persuasive skill.

		Redgrave has also developed an off-screen reputation as a self-proclaimed "human rights activist," although her true ideological commitment is to an extremist Marxist-Leninist sect, a Trotskyist splinter group led by her late mentor Gerry Healy.
		Redgrave was a co-founder of the Guantanamo Human Rights Commission, which partnered with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), and the National Council of Churches USA (NCC) to pressure the U.S. government "to treat the Guantanamo Bay prisoners according to the standards of American and International law.
		From this, Redgrave concocted a lurid lie of Israeli snipers peering through their scopes at rooms full of little girls in uniforms, trying to decide which of the kids they should kill for fun.

	The Best Oscar Acceptance Speech of all Time
		To me, a truly great Oscar acceptance speech is one that not only acknowledges the people who may have made the person's success possible, but also one which either acknowledges the film they made for which they were honored, or somehow speaks to the larger issue of film craft.
		Steven Soderbergh delivered a brilliant speech at the most recent Oscars when he won Best Director for Traffic, where instead of naming a bunch of names that don't mean a whole lot to the majority of people watching, he instead gave tribute to anybody who creates.
		Sadly, some people choose to use their time up on Oscar's stage for their own politics, such as Vanessa Redgrave in 1977, choosing to ignore the very film for which they were honored, and somehow trying to make their moment larger.

		John Travolta, wearing a white silk scarf around his neck (similar to the one Redgrave wore in 1968 while portraying Isodora Duncan and ironically so, considering she was about to hang herself career-wise) riding high on the success of Saturday Night Fever, presented the Best Actress award and, as you already know, Redgrave won.
		I would like to suggest to Miss Redgrave that her winning an Academy Award is not a pivotal moment in history, does not require a proclamation and a simple "Thank you" would have sufficed.
		Redgrave's support of the Palestinian Arabs has reduced her opportunities in Hollywood and even back home in England, where such support was and is more common.
