Born January 30, 1937 in London, England, Vanessa Redgrave has been one of America’s most celebrated film stars for several decades. Her acting career began in 1958 when she played the role of Pamela Gray in the movie Behind the Mask. Since then, she has played roles in nearly 90 films, including As You Like It (1963), A Man for All Seasons (1966), Camelot (1967), Julia (1977), and Mission: Impossible (1996). Over the years, Ms. Redgrave has ... 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." In June 2004, Redgrave charged that President Bush was operating a "concentration camp" in Guantanamo, where prisoners are routinely subjected to "torture."
