"This year's winner of the Stockholm Lifetime Achievement Award has been one of the most prominent actors in the world for over five decades and has been named "the greatest living actress of our time" by Tennesse Williams. She is as brilliant in costume dramas and political documentaries as she is in works of some of the greatest auteurs in cinematic history. With astonishing force and great social commitment, Vanessa Redgrave has made acting her life's work."
