In this first-ever biography of the woman many have called our greatest living actress, the formidable Vanessa Redgrave is at last revealed to us in all of her different personas.

Vanessa Résumé

Vanessa: The Life of Vanessa Redgrave Dan Callahan

Who isnt 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. Anyone who has seen Redgrave in her numerous stage and film roles will know why she is 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.

Vanessa Avis

Fresh and insightful: its 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. -- Sight & Sound Magazine
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. -- Liz Smith, New York Times bestselling author and long-time gossip columnist
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. -- David Thomson - San Francisco Chronicle
Dan Callahans Barbara Stanwyck: The Miracle Woman is a serious book about a serious woman. If Mr. Callahans book is not the last word on this great actress, it will certainly stand as an invaluable critical guide. -- Praise for Barbara Stanwyck: The Miracle Woman - The Wall Street Journal
Unsparing about Redgraves 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. -- Lloyd Rose - The Washington Post
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. -- William J. Mann, author of "Kate: The Woman Who Was Hepburn" and "Tinseltown: Murder, Morphine and Madness at the Dawn of Hollywood"
