Radical Chic Flashback Wednesdays

This week: Vanessa Redgrave and Tariq Ali.

Iconic photo in the radical chic cannon. In 1968, Vanessa and Tariq led the march to Grosvenor Square to protest against the war in Vietnam.

Tariq Ali: Pakistani-British political activist, writer, journalist, historian, filmmaker, and public intellectual. One of the "It Boy" rads of the late 60s early 70s..

Vanessa: she, who could never resist a radical cause: the IRA, the PLO, Chechen separatists...

Quiz - did they fuck?

I enjoyed her as Mrs. Wilcox and in voiceovers, but didn't see the allure beyond that. Das ist Geschmacksache, but Patti LuPone, of all people, exposed Vanessa as an empty champagne radical in her memoir.
