On FX Network's "Nip/Tuck," Vanessa Redgrave plays Erica Noughton, a best-selling author, a well-known child psychiatrist and the distant, often cold mother of Julia McNamara. In Season 4, Erica comes to Miami for a face-lift—and asks her son-in-law to perform the procedure. Erica is extremely intelligent when it comes to human frailty and emotions, yet has always lacked the warmth to embrace the needs of her own daughter.

An Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe and Tony-award-winning actress, Vanessa Redgrave is the mother of "Nip/Tuck" series star Joely Richardson. Born into a theatrical family – her father was the actor Sir Michael Redgrave, her sister is the actress Lynn – Vanessa Redgrave trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London and made her film debut in Behind the Mask in 1958.

Vanessa Redgrave received international acclaim for her role in "Blowup" in 1966, the same year she played Anne Boleyn in "A Man for All Seasons" and received her first Oscar nomination for "Morgan!" More leading, and sometimes controversial, roles  for Vanessa Redgrave followed, including Guinevere in "Camelot," Mother Superior in "The Devils," famed dancer Isadora Duncan in "Isadora" and the title character in "Mary, Queen of Scots."

Vanessa Redgrave was again nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her work in both "Isadora" and "Mary, Queen of Scots" and was twice named Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for her roles in "Morgan!" and "Isadora." In 1977, Vanessa Redgrave won the Oscar® for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for "Julia," in which she played the title role opposite Jane Fonda. Her film career includes two more Oscar® nominations for "The Bostonians" and "Howard's End" as well as two BAFTA nominations for "Morgan!" and "Prick Up Your Ears." Vanessa Redgrave has also starred in "The House of Spirits," "Mission Impossible," "Mrs. Dalloway," "Wilde and Girl" and "Interrupted."

On television, Vanessa Redgrave has portrayed a variety of roles which have garnered her two Emmy Awards for Best Actress for her work in "Playing for Time" and HBO's "If These Walls Could Talk 2." She has received four additional Emmy nominations for her roles in "Young Catherine," "The Gathering Storm," "Second Serve" and "Peter the Great."

The Hollywood Foreign Press has honored Redgrave with a staggering 13 Golden Globe nominations for her roles in film and television, including two wins for "Julia" and "If These Walls Could Talk 2."
