Tony Richardson was an English director for both stage and films. He worked for 5 decades, with his best know work “Tom Jones” (1963) starring Albert Finney. The film won 4 Academy Awards: Best Director, Best Film, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Score.
In 1962, Richardson married actress Vanessa Redgrave. But there had been gossip that their marriage would not last. Tony Richardson was bisexual.
Even Vanessa’s mother Rachel Kempson expressed doubts, predicting the relationship would last ‘five years at a guess’. She was right.
Kempson spoke from experience… she too married a bisexual. Her husband Michael Redgrave came out to her before their marriage.
Richardson and Redgrave had two daughter, both who would become successful actresses: Natasha Richardson (born 1963), and Joely Richardson (born 1965).
Although Richardson had relationships and one night stands with men outside the marriage, it was his affair with French actress Jeanne Moreau that moved Vanessa to divorce him in 1967.
Richardson never publicly revealed his bisexuality. He died at the age of 63 due to complications from AIDS in 1991.
Sonnet 73 by William Shakespeare (read by Natasha Richardson)
That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away, Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire That on the ashes of his youth doth lie, As the death-bed whereon it must expire, Consum’d with that which it was nourish’d by.
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong, To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
After a full day at work, and my yoga class, I wanted nothing more than to veg out with my sweet potato pasta dish and my cats. I clicked on HBO Go and started scrolling through movies. One of the first three movies to come up, since it’s alphabetical with numbers first, was 101 Dalmatians, the real-life version made by Disney years ago. I thought, “Oh, puppies! And Natasha Richardson!.. RIP.” (Yeah, I know, it’s her sister Joely, not her.)
Anyways, I started watching it and it’s cute and adorable and OMG!Puppies! and Playbill (on the right) is clearly enjoying it, too. Then it gets to the basic plot. Cruella DeVil wants to make a dress out of the fur of dalmatian puppies. This means she has to capture, kill, and skin a lot of them. She’s already done this to a rare white tiger in the beginning of the movie, which is bad enough. But now: PUPPIES?
Jesus H. Christ on a Cracker: What the fuck, Disney? Who decided that this was a good idea for a children’s movie? Steal the puppies to sell them on the black market as pets? OK. Maybe. But steal them so she can make a piece of clothing out of them? Fuck no. This movie is not appropriate for children. It’s not even appropriate for me. The thought of any animal dying so someone can wear it is disgusting so the thought of inflicting it on children makes me cringe.
