About this product

Product Information

Who isn't in awe of Vanessa Redgrave? Her career on stage and screen remains vital and her extreme-left political stands are still quite controversial. This is the moment, and this is the biography, to take stock of Vanessa Redgrave both as actress and as political activist with a critical, objective study of her life and career. It is also time to account for her unparalleled achievements as an empathetic actress of considerable genius. In his Biographical Dictionary of Film, David Thomson writes about Redgrave, "She has made mistakes, but there is a case for her as the best actress alive, ready for further challenge." Anyone who has seen Redgrave in her numerous stage and film roles will know why Thomson rates her as the very best we have. The radiant, fearless, daring, perverse and always unpredictable Redgrave is the brightest light in the forest of her famous family.

Reviews
Dan Callahan's riveting Vanessa is an enthralling, heartbreaking account of one of the greatest actresses of this or any century. it is a biography that gives us much food for thought and captures the woman inside the actress with understanding and compassion., A compelling survey into the work and spirit of one of the greatest actresses of the past half century, penned by one of the most trenchant and percipient writers covering movies today., The intensely researched Vanessa is no puff piece, but Callahan's passion for his subject is nonetheless contagious., Fresh and insightful: it's not easy to characterise what makes a performance effective or otherwise, and critics often duck the responsibility altogether, but Dan Callahan is skilled at finding feisty, odd, intelligent ways to evaluate the ineffable., Unsparing about Redgrave's politics, Callahan shines in his analysis of her performances. He not only understands the technical aspects of acting but he has a romantic appreciation of its transcendent, near-magical qualities., An impassioned biography. Film scholar Dan Callahan focuses on what really interests him about his subject: not Tinseltown gossip, but what Stanwyck accomplished on screen... Callahan's enthusiasm informs every page., Exceptional. ... Writing a book about an actor while she is still alive is not easy, but Callahan thrives on the difficulties. ... As for Dan Callahan, he seems to me a leader among young writers on film., Fascinating. Masterfully written. Read Vanessa if you want a fully schooled lesson on the woman most of her peers think of as the greatest living actress., Dan Callahan's Barbara Stanwyck: The Miracle Woman is a serious book about a serious woman. If Mr. Callahan's book is not the last word on this great actress, it will certainly stand as an invaluable critical guide.
