...unorthodoxy of her political life has extended at times to her personal life. After Richardson began an affair with actress Jeanne Moreau and thereby precipitated the end of an already troubled marriage, Redgrave had a romance with actor Franco Nero, with whom she had a son, Carlo, now 19. More recently, she shared bed and the boards with actor Timothy Dalton, almost ten years her junior (and the latest James Bond), who was her Antony and Petruchio in the repertory triumphs...
...provides a much more intriguing narrative -- full of time shifts, inner thoughts revealed, imaginary moments, even a flash-forward in which the now dead grandmother describes her search for "life after eternity."

Opening in Baltimore in two weeks and on Broadway in November, the revival does not overawe her. "I don't think very much about what is dangerous or not," says the former...

One afternoon a single spotlight illuminated the Palais stage -- the aura left vacant by Francois Truffaut, who died at 52 last October -- and slowly two dozen figures gathered in the shadows. Jeanne Moreau, Jean-Pierre Leaud, Catherine Deneuve, Gerard Depardieu, Fanny Ardant and a host of old colleagues were there to wreathe the great director's memory in their affection and gratitude...
