Joely Richardson is a British actress who was born Joely Kim Richardson on 9 January 1965 in Marylebone, London. She is a member of the Redgrave acting family, the daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave and director Tony Richardson, and the younger sister of the late Natasha Richardson. She trained at a tennis academy in Florida as a teenager, graduated from the Thacher School in California in 1983, and finished at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 1985.

Her first screen role of note came in Wetherby in 1985, followed by a lead in Peter Greenaway's Drowning by Numbers in 1988. Film credits include King Ralph, 101 Dalmatians, Event Horizon, The Patriot, Anonymous, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Maggie, Red Sparrow and The Turning.

How Joely Richardson makes her money

Long-running television is her steadiest income. Her lead role on Nip/Tuck from 2003 to 2010, a show on which her mother Vanessa Redgrave also appeared, followed by The Tudors, Titanic: Blood and Steel and The Sandman, brought series salaries across cable and streaming.

Studio and independent films add a second stream, from Disney's 101 Dalmatians and Mel Gibson's The Patriot to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Red Sparrow.

British television dramas, including Lady Chatterley, Wallis and Edward and episodes of Poirot, kept her working in the UK between Hollywood jobs.

Producing gives her another role on projects, and she supports causes as an ambassador for The Children's Trust and Save the Children.
