BrunoBrimley 86 Posted June 9, 2005 Gracious goodness me! (Or should that be goodness gracious me!-?) The article says it all. Georgy Girl's Brother near death and this completely non-isotopic photo tells us the severity. Of course he does have GRAVE in his name so it was bound to happen eventually.

millwall32 114 Posted August 8, 2005 Saw him at Paddington station a few weeks ago reading his paper with his hands shaking. Then in Charing Cross road looking bad. Solid medium odds bet for 2006. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy 21 Posted August 8, 2005 Saw him at Paddington station a few weeks ago reading his paper with his hands shaking. Then in Charing Cross road looking bad. Solid medium odds bet for 2006. Were his hands shaking because the man opposite looked middle-Eastern and was wearing a rucksack?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted October 9, 2005 What's the state of health of actor Corin Redgrave? He had a massive heart attack some months back. And wasn't he in line to be the next Rumpole of the Bailey? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
football_fan 42 Posted October 9, 2005 (edited) Not too sure about his state of health, but I know he was released from hospital some months ago. By the way, there is an existing "Corin Redgrave" thread right here. [Mods, please merge - Done -- MH] Edited October 9, 2005 by Magere Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadian Paul 97 Posted January 8, 2006 this is a cynical post by me to get him discussed.... any recent news anyone would like to share ? From Wikipedia: In June 2005 he was described by his family as being in a "critical but stable" condition in hospital following a severe heart attack. Corin Redgrave had also been undergoing treatment for cancer. Minus the cancer, it sounds like Ariel Sharon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,540 Posted April 7, 2010 Completely forgot this piece of classic journalism about CR: In September 1975, the first of many scandals to hit the [Workers' Revolutionary] party broke when a young actress and WRP member called Irene Gorst told the Observer how obsessive terrors haunted a rebrick Edwardian mansion that Corin Redgrave had bought for the WRP in the Derbyshire countryside. [Party leader Gerry] Healy changed its name from the pastoral ‘White Meadows’ to the insurgent ‘Red House’, and made it the party’s residential training centre, Gorst said. The party banned fraternization with villagers over beers in the local pub. If your children cried outside the lecture hall, you had to wait until the lecture had finished before finding and comforting them. Nothing was to stand in the way of the preparations for the revolution.….. She described how an inquisition consisting of Vanessa and Corin Redgrave and two party officials ordered her into a room. ‘They started on me. How long had I been working for Special Branch? Where had I planted the bombs and the drugs? Why did I miss the coach? ‘At first I was very flippant. I would say things like, “Let’s see where did I put the bombs? Was it in the loo? Was it under my bed?”‘ After an hour, she tried to leave. They pushed her back into a chair. ‘Don’t you dare,’ cried a party official. ‘You’re not leaving until we’ve found out what we want to know.’ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
