Actress Lynn Redgrave dies at age 67

By GottaLaff



This one hit me hard. I worked with her for a year on a television series, and she was one of the finest people I had ever known professionally. I'm literally in tears. R.I.P. Lynn.

Via an L.A. Times e-mail alert:

Lynn Redgrave, an introspective and independent player in her family's acting dynasty who became a 1960s sensation as the freethinking title character of "Georgy Girl" and later dramatized her troubled past in such one-woman stage performances as "Shakespeare for My Father" and "Nightingale," has died. She was 67.

Her publicist Rick Miramontez, speaking on behalf of her children, said Redgrave died Sunday night at her Manhattan apartment. In 2003, Redgrave had been treated for breast cancer.
Her death comes a year after her niece Natasha Richardson died from head injuries sustained in a skiing accident and just a month after the death of her older brother, Corin Redgrave.
