Tony Richardson (June 5, 1928 - November 14, 1991) was a British director, producer and director.
He was born as Cecil Antonio Richardson in Shipley, Yorkshire in 1928. He was representative of the British "New Wave" of directors. After starting in the British theatre with the New English Stage Company, he co-founded Woodfall Films, with the dramatist John Osborne. In 1964 he received two Academy Awards (Best Director and Best Picture) for Tom Jones (1963). He was married to the actress Vanessa Redgrave (1962-1967) and had two daughters, Natasha Richardson and Joely Richardson.
