CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."

The greatest?
"The greatest living actress" [© Dan Callahan] is 80 years old today...
"I think the theatre is as essential to civilization as safe, pure water."
"I don't consider myself beautiful at all, I'm usually running around like a scruff."
"Of course, I am misrepresented very often, but so is everybody who has got something to say."
"Integrity is so perishable in the summer months of success."
"I discovered a long time ago that the camera does lie, and thank God it does."
Vanessa Redgrave, CBE (born 30th January 1937)
