Vanessa Redgrave – 84, London

In certain showbiz circles, Vanessa Redgrave is regarded as the greatest actress of our time, and given her numerous accomplishments, including winning an Oscar, a Tony, and Two Emmy Awards, we dare not disagree. After being linked with her husband’s new Italian film L’uomo che disegnò Dio for many months, the Georgetown actress recently declined the role, allegedly in light of her co-star Kevin Spacey’s casting.

According to numerous reports, Redgrave distanced herself from the project when Kevin Spacey, who has faced several allegations of physical misconduct, joined the film’s cast. Born in a family of actors and performers, Redgrave enrolled at the Central School of Speech and Drama in 1954.
