Dame Vanessa Redgrave [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever DBE]] (born 30 January 1937 in Blackheath, London) is an English actor of stage, screen and television, as well as [[SoapBoxSadie a political activist]]. She's well-known over her membership in the far-left Workers' Revolutionary Party and her advocacy of a purist [[UsefulNotes/LeonTrotsky Trotskyism]]. This was often [[Magazine/PrivateEye mercilessly parodied by satirists]], but it was noted this did not make her difficult to work with and she was always professional in her acting, having enough of a sense of humour to, for instance, appear as a guest with Creator/MorecambeAndWise. Vanessa stood for Parliament several times, unsuccessfully, on a WRP ticket. [[note]] the Workers' Revolutionary Party was derided for the sheer number of prominent film, theatre and TV actors it attracted to what was otherwise a dour and Trotskyist far-left party. For this reason it was dubbed '''The West End Revolutionary Party''' - "no workers as such, just actors". The acronym "TWERP" was noted; Series/TheGoodies played on this and chose to portray Vanessa as a far-left mirror image of UsefulNotes/MargaretThatcher.[[/note]] She has been vocal in advocating for the Palestinians (including the PLO, which stirred great controversy), along with refugees generally, criticizing the War on Terror and human rights violations committed by her native UK along with the US.

** The stage version of ''Literature/ThePrimeOfMissJeanBrodie'' was set to have Creator/MaggieSmith as the lead. But when she became unavailable, Vanessa got the part. She was also meant to play Jean in the film version, but this time she herself was unavailable, and Maggie Smith came on board.
