Vanessa Redgrave


Joshua Logan didn't mind one bit replacing Broadway's Guinevere Julie Andrews with Vanessa Redgrave when he filmed Lerner & Loewe's Camelot. He said something to the effect of "Can anyone imagine a country going to war over Julie Andrews' face?" Diss.


Vanessa's, of course, a consummate actress and gives Guinevere her personal brand of pathos. She does a very melodramatic "I Loved You Once In Silence" so I opted for "The Simple Joys Of Maidenhood."


She apparently wore a dress made entirely of pumpkin seeds for this movie. I tried to grab a pic but no dice.
