New York: Viking, 1983. First Edition. Signed by the author / actor, Michael Redgrave: “Best Wishes, Michael Redgrave.” Illustrated. Fine copy in a near fine bright dust jacket with just a faint hint of fading to the top of the rear panel at the spine fold and a tiny tear to the bottom edge of the rear panel. A truly wonderful memoir of a life lived in the service of creativity. Michael Redgrave (1908 - 19285) was a distinguished and dedicated member of a family of great actors - his father was Australian silent movie star Roy Redgrave, he is the father of actors Vanessa Redgrave, Lynn Redgrave, and Corin Redgrave, and grandfather to actresses Natasha Richardson, Joely Richardson, and Jemma Redgrave. In 1948 he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role for Mourning Becomes Electra. He was knighted in 1959. Included is a 10 page list of his performances and productions, on stage, in film, and on television - from his first walk-on in Henry IV in 1921 to a scene from King Lear on stage in 1982, and all of the greatness in between.
