Vanessa Redgrave arrives for the Film Society of Lincoln Center Gala Tribute to actress Jane Fonda in New York on May 7, 2001. Redgrave and Fonda co-starred in the 1977 film, "Julia," for which Redgrave won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Members of the Jewish Defense League chose to picket the awards ceremony in the spring of 1978 to protest against Redgrave and her support of the Palestinian cause.

Despite her onscreen ubiquity, Redgrave had ... been busy in the theatre. In 1996, she'd taken productions of Antony And Cleopatra and Julius Caesar to Houston, then the next year had directed the former at New York's Public Theater. Here Marc Antony would be played by David Harewood, the first black actor ever to take the lead in a National Theatre production of Othello. Naturally, there would be rumours of an affair, Redgrave's sexy rep sticking with her even as she entered her sixties, and she'd need Scotland Yard's protection from the racist group Combat 18. She'd stay with directing in 1998, producing and co-directing the lost Tennessee Williams' play Not About Nightingales at the National Theatre. Then she'd take Sarah Bernhardt Comes To Town around various American festivals, aided by her mother Rachel Kempson (who'd recently appeared with her in Deja Vu).

In 1988, Vanessa portrayed the role of Nora Melody in the Eugene O'Neill play A TOUCH OF THE POET, with Timothy Dalton, directed by David Thacker, at the Young Vic, Theatre Royal Brighton and the Comedy Theatre, London. This was followed by the role of Lady Alice in A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS directed by and co-starring Charlton Heston. Vanessa then went on to play Lady Torrance in ORPHEUS DESCENDING at the Theatre Royal Bath, New Theatre Cardiff and Haymarket Theatre London. This was Peter Hall's first production for his own company.
