For Joely the theater must be in her genes. Daughter of Tony Richardson (I) and Vanessa Redgrave, and granddaughter of actor Sir Michael Redgrave, she is the niece of Lynn Redgrave and her sister Natasha Richardson is also an actress. However the genes were slow - as a child she saw her older sister Natashsa interested in acting but she was a tomboy, imagining a career in gymastics. She grew too far too fast, and gymnastics was out. British by birth, she considers herself a sort of honorary Yank, having attended boarding school in Santa Barbara California. Beginning in the 80's film becameMore her life, from small parts [ Wetherby (1985) ] to BBC dramas [ Lady Chatterley (1992) (TV) ] to today's Disney studio [ going to the dogs in 101 Dalmatians (1996) ].

    I think that she is a good actress, I enjoy her in Nip/Tuck though I think that she just puts just too much drama in her character. I think that she is good actually, I enjoy her in different movies like for example "The Patriot", she is very cool.

    Joely Richardson is really a talented actress. In every role she really makes you believe that she actually is the character she's portraying. This sense of realism is what makes her really stand out above the masses of the rest of actresses today. My favorite movie of her's is "Lady Chatterley."

    I do not like her. hide show

    I do not like her and I have no idea why. I just don't like the vibe she gives out, on or off screen. Not that you control that. And her acting skills seem, kind of stretched though she can sometimes get away with it Nip/Tuck. (There is so much great drama and turmoil you sometimes forget to actually look at the acting.) But next to this seasons guest star Peter Dinklage it's becoming more and more obvious to me. It is not simply a matter of dislike now I think the show is beyond her now.
