Hollywood royalty

Now, Joely Richardson (47) and her mother Vanessa Redgrave (74) have teamed up again in the new Roland Emmerich movie Anonymous, each playing Queen Elizabeth I at different stages of the monarch’s life. The two women have been seen together on television regularly over the past five years in the hit show Nip/Tuck.
It is almost redundant to describe their regal bearing when the mother and daughter walk into the Ritz Carlton in Cancun to talk to The Irish Examiner. There on a brief holiday together, the two women tease and contradict each other in one breath, while finishing each other’s sentences in the next, clearly at ease together, the best of friends.
