JOELY RICHARDSON – VANESSA REDGRAVE’S DAUGHTER

Joely Richardson, along with her other famous sibling Natasha Richardson, comes from a long line of actors and actresses. She was born on January 9, 1965 in Marylebone, London, to actress Vanessa Redgrave and director Tony Richardson, the granddaughter of actors Sir Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson. Her parents Vanessa Redgrave and Tony Richardson were industry veterans, with Vanessa having worked as an actress and Tony as an acclaimed filmmaker.

Not only that, but Vanessa was also born into film royalty since both her parents worked as actors, too. So it wasn’t a surprise that Joely found herself doing the same thing, following in the footsteps of her parents. To her credit, she’s emulated her mother’s life of activism as the ambassador of The Children’s Trust, which is a charity in the United Kingdom that’s dedicated to helping children with brain injury.
