Lynn Redgrave

In any event, we then proceed to the meeting with the children's uncle, as played by famous stage actor Michael Redgrave.

He's the father of Vanessa, Corin, and Lynn Redgrave, and you might know him from the Hitchcock movie The Lady Vanishes.

Here he plays what he describes as a bachelor, but not, I might add, a lonely one.

and explains that his lifestyle is entirely incompatible with the presence of children, and combined with his effete mannerisms and fussy, meticulous style of dress and decor, I have to imagine that he's incredibly queer-coded by the standards of the repressive Hays Code.

And.

in that environment the kind of almost campfire story atmosphere of lynn redgrave who reads the unabridged audiobook oh such a great job with the book and such a good job with this scene um but just the the wonder of it for me that's the scene in prince caspian um so i would i would really hope to see that in prince

caspian

And then the one that comes to mind, and I could go kind of every scene in Voyage of the Dawn Treader, I guess.

But yeah, a general thumbs up.

And then I'm going to say my top two.

Number two is Lynn Redgrave reading Prince Caspian.

Just such a great job.

There have been stories of figures, objects moving and unexplained experiences around the property.

Actress Lynn Redgrave reportedly suspected something unseen was interfering with her daughter's belongings.

Florence Welsh said, who spoke or has spoken about a frightening experience at the hotel.

Even former owner Andre Balash has said he believes the property has ghosts.

And we got an amazing cast.

We had Kathy Burke playing Anita's mum and Mark Williams playing the local vicar and Lynn Redgrave playing the local shopkeeper.

We even got Peter Purves to do a little guest

spot.

So if I had done that, I'd know who that is.

But also Lynn Redgrave, Judy Karn, and Julie Andrews.

And Julie Andrews turned it down because she'd already done Mary Poppins and didn't want to be typecast.

But then later, after they had already signed on Angela Lansbury, she regretted it and went back and said, I guess I'll take it.

Yeah

... and I asked her if she would do, play Prudie's mother, who was eventually played by Lynn Redgrave.

And-

Mm-hmm

And so she came in-

Oh, funny

... and then Lynn Redgrave was doing a one-woman show that she had written, which was at the Mark Taper.

Mm-hmm.

And I think the first Vanessa, Vanessa Redgrave, was in the first Happy Hooker.

Lynn Redgrave.

Lynn Redgrave, her sister.

Senior exemption.

Well, I was right about that.

Vanessa Redgrave, she was actually married to the director, Tony Richardson.

Lynn Redgrave was in this.

In the movie, yeah.

And

Helen Reddy.

Lynn Redgrave.

Roy Rogers.

The Cowboy.

But she fucking killed it in this audition.

Lynn Redgrave was in it.

Mm.

Uh, Roger Daltrey w-

I don't know what we were doing.

Trying to make it funny because there's no...

Like, if you, if we had had a studio audience, every time Lynn Redgrave entered, there would've been an applause break, 'cause she had all the-
