Acclaimed actress Redgrave kept her 2002 breast cancer diagnosis a secret from all but her closest family and friends. She followed surgery with chemotherapy and radiation and still managed to appear Off-Broadway in Alan Bennett's play Talking Heads. Her treatment and recovery are documented here through her daughter Clark's photographs and her own journal entries. The raw and honest photos present the intimate side of a disease that makes no exception for celebrity. The result is both inspirational and heart-tugging. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
