“I don’t think I ever felt beautiful until I was pregnant and when I gave birth to my children. I had terrible acne when I was a teenager and I was very tall, so tall I couldn’t see myself in my mother’s long mirror.” – Vanessa Redgrave Photo Source: Vogue My mom once told me that she named me after Vanessa Redgrave, because that was her favorite actress around at the time I was born and that she just liked that name.

So it got me thinking… who are some other pretty awesome big and small screen “bosses”? Not male bosses, […]
