Vanessa Redgrave, Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner for “Julia”, will be the recipient of an Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences salute on Sunday, November 13, in London. “An Academy Salute to Vanessa Redgrave” is billed as the Academy’s “first-ever European tribute to an actor.” Two-time Oscar nominee David Hare (The Hours, The Reader), will host the event, which will also feature Meryl Streep, Eileen Atkins, Redgrave’s Coriolanus director and co-star Ralph Fiennes, this year’s Honorary Oscar recipient James Earl Jones, and Redgrave’s daughter Joely Richardson. Former Academy President Sid Ganis will introduce the evening.

I cant believe this. It has been months since I had the chance to come on this site, however I am a member since the beginnings (who remembers tose times other than Frerderick and a few) and guess what, I have just arrived from London where I have seen Ms. Redgrave in Driving Miss Daisy. Wish to be there on this event. Of course we dont know where it is since it is an invitation only event. Wish her all the best and congratulations!

This would be lovely to watch. Maybe we will get Meryl’s speech eventually. I had the privilege if seeing Ms. Redgrave in “Taming of the Shew” in London many years ago. It was an unforgettable performance, as are most of her film roles. She is most deserving of this honor.
