She’s been vocal in the past about the lack of roles for women over 50. But as she approaches an even higher milestone, Joely Richardson is at the top of her game, with standout performances in three of this year’s top new series.
And no one, it seems, is more taken aback by that than the actress herself.
Asked how it feels to be in such hot demand, the actress replies: “Surprising!”
She adds: “There were years of slogging away, years of doing little parts to try and get people to see me differently, years of eating humble pie. But that’s right and good for all of us, to have knocks and no one believing in you.”
Joely was exclusively talking to hello! ahead of the premiere of the new Disney+ series Renegade Nell, at which she dazzled in a chic Hermès gown.
Born into one of Britain’s most highly regarded acting dynasties – her parents are Dame Vanessa Redgrave and director Tony Richardson – and twice nominated for a Golden Globe, Joely struggled to even get an agent after moving back to London from New York in 2009, following the death of her sister Natasha after a skiing accident.
LEADING LADY
Now, we’re not even midway through 2024 and she has already delighted fans with her performance as Helen Cope, the disapproving mother-in-law in Netflix’s adaptation of One Day, and the aristocratic Lady Sabrina in Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen.
