British actress
Born: January 9, 1965
For Joely, the theater must be in her genes. Born in Marylebone, London, England, she is the daughter of director Tony Richardson and Vanessa Redgrave, the granddaughter of Sir Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson, the niece of Lynn Redgrave, and the sister of Natasha Richardson, all actors. Former husband Tim Bevan is a producer. However, the genes were slow; as a child, she saw her older sister Natasha interested in acting, but she was imagining a career in tennis. Her father put his foot down, and tennis was out. British by birth, she considers herself a sort of honorary Yank, having attended boarding school at Thacher in Ojai, California. Beginning in the ’80s, film became her life, from small parts in Wetherby (1985) to BBC dramas such as Lady Chatterley (1993) to today’s Disney studio going to the dogs in 101 Dalmatians (1996).
Joely Richardson’s 5 most popular quotes
- You grow up by making mistakes. I’ve made a ton of them, but as long as I keep on failing better, I don’t mind.
- I think work really is a life saver, because it carries you forward, which is good.
- To newspapers and publishing houses I urge the use of fact over fiction, freedom of the press, and responsibility at all times.
- There’s still a bit of a problem, in that so many leading English roles are taken by American or French actresses.
- I’d love to adopt, but having a daughter, Daisy, who’s in the middle of her teens, I’m now thinking: Is this a time to start all over again or is this a time to realise those child-rearing years are over?
