She was born in London and entered the Central School of Speech and Drama in 1954.

In December, 2002, Redgrave paid £50,000 bail for Chechen sepraratist Deputy Premier and special envoy Akhmed Zakayev, who was accused by Russia of aiding and abetting hostage-takings in the Moscow Hostage Crisis of 2002, and guerrilla warfare against Russia.
