Posted: 6/13/05 at 9:41pmDonna Murphy, Does Audra count as a Dame? She is married. And, oh yes, as someone mentioned Maggie Smith.

Lynn is my favorite Redgrave.
She is so friendly.
What a peach!

Lynn is wonderful. Go see "The Constant Wife". She is divine.
But Vanessa---SHE is truly a Dame in every sense of the word. Natasha is certainly a Dame in training.
