British actress Joeli Richardson (full name Joeli Kim Richardson) was born on January 9, 1965 in London.

Joelie dreamed of becoming a tennis player from a young age, she even moved to the United States, where she entered the Nick Bolletieri Tennis Academy in Florida. However, the unprecedented physical activity that accompanied her tennis career quickly cooled the girl's ardor, and she returned to her home. Joely's father, film director Tony Richarson, and mother, the most popular English actress Vanessa Redgrave, had no doubt that their daughter would become an actress. Moreover, Joely had someone to take an example from: her older sister Natasha Richardson had already starred in several films by that time.

First roles

First of all, Joel Richardson, whose photos have already been sent to agencies, played a maid in the film "Hotel New Hampshire", which was directed by her father, and in 1985 she took part in the film directed by David Hea called "Wetherby". Joely played the character of Jean Travers as a young adult, while Vanessa Redgrave played the role of Travers as an adult. Few weeks,spent on the set hand in hand with his mother, only strengthened the desire of Joely Richardson to become a film actress.

Detectives

In 1988, Joeli played one of the women of the Colpitts family (mother, daughter and niece), who alternately drowned their husbands. A friend of the Madgett family, who works as a medical examiner, made out the death of each of the husbands as an accident, while hoping for the favor of the criminals. However, none of the ladies was in a hurry to open their arms to the naive Madgett, moreover, the insidious trinity decided in the end to drown him himself. All these events were brilliantly reflected in the tragicomedy "The Drowned Count" directed by Peter Greenaway.

One hundred and one Dalmatians

The film "One Hundred and One Dalmatians" directed by Stephen Herek was filmed in 1996. With a fairly modest budget of $ 54 million, the picture grossed $ 320 million at the box office, and sales of video cassettes for home viewing broke all records. Joely played Anita, the owner of Perita, an adorable Dalmatian. With the help of her dog, Anita meets Rogero, a computer game creator who also has a dog, Pongo. The London villain Cruella De Vil wants to make herself a fur coat for Christmas out of Dalmatian skins. She sends her henchmen to hunt for spotted puppies. However, both the puppies themselves and their parents, adult determined Dalmatians, do not like this.

Variety of roles

In 2000, Pandora Cinema BBC Films filmed "Everythingperhaps, baby". A comedy melodrama starring Joely Richardson was directed by director Ben Elton. The plot is centered on a married couple. The wife constantly raises the topic of childbearing, offering to deal with this issue immediately. The husband agrees, and the couple get down to business. However, there are no results and No. Then Lucy (that's the name of the main character) offers to streamline the conception process, make a schedule and do everything according to the schedule.

In the historical film "The Story of the Necklace" filmed in 2001 by director Charles Shyer based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas "The Queen's Necklace", actress Richardson played Queen Marie Antoinette. The adventuress Jeanne Lamotte, posing as a close friend of the queen, arranged meetings between Marie Antoinette and Cardinal de Rogan. However, she had a goal that had nothing to do with the love pleasures of the inhabitants of the Tuileries. Jeanne Lamotte longed for the Queen's necklace.

Seven years of television series

In early 2003, the American FX channel launched the series "Parts of the Body" by Ryan Murphy about two successful plastic surgeons. One of them, Sean McNamara, is a conscientious doctor for whom the Hippocratic oath is not an empty phrase. Another doctor, Christian Troy, believes that the main thing in life is money, beautiful women and whiskey. Despite the difference in views, they are friends, support each other in every possible way and even relax together. Joely Richardson played Julia McNamara, Sean's wife. Julia's mother periodically appears in the series, whomplayed by Vanessa Redgrave. The series ran for six seasons and ended in 2010. In November 2006, daughter Joely Richardson fell ill. Since the girl needed constant care, the actress announced her departure from the series. However, Ryan Murphy decided to wait for Richarson's return and wrote the ending of the script with her further participation in mind. Joely returned in 2007.
