Wasn’t she a commie? Was her daughter the one that died in the skiing accident last year?

Not to be confused with her loony sister Vanessa.

That’s Vanessa Redgrave. Lynn did those 1980s Weight Watchers ads.

I'm not sure, but I think means she was less of a flaming communist than the others.

RIP, Lynn...

Always liked her — she was the sane sister of the very weird Vanessa.

She was in ‘Tom Jones’. Also, Shine and Kinsey.

ATTENTION!

This was the SMART Redgrave. Her sister Vanessa is the one who wants to be buried next to Trotsky.

She may not be as outspoken as Vanessa, but she was definitely part of the loony left. I saw her a few years ago when Bill Mahr had his Politically Incorrect show, and she was spouting one liberalism after another.

Georgy Girl was one of those weird British films that were too adult for me to see when it originally was released. Loved the song, however.

Your thinking of her sister Vanessa - she's an anti-zionist Trotskyite.

I guess she takes 'Redgrave' seriously.

That would be a pair of Red graves, indeed!

How come she gets to donate to our US political campaigns? Is she an American citizen? Americans can't donate to foreign political campaigns.

Now that song is going through my head. :)

Yours too, no doubt.
