Lynn Redgrave Passes Away

Lynn Redgrave has died. The Oscar-nominated actress was 67. She and sister Vanessa Redgrave were members of a legendary acting family. The cause of death has not been announced. Redgrave had survived breast cancer and written a memoir about her experience. She is survived by three children.  My thoughts are with the Redgrave family.

 Lynn Rachel Redgrave she had a long resume.  In 1967, she made her Broadway debut and has since performed in several stage productions in New York, while continuing to make frequent returns to the London West End. She has performed with her sister Vanessa in Three Sisters in London, and in the title role in a television production of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?. Redgrave made a return to films in the late 1990s in films such as Shine (1996) and Gods and Monsters (1998), for which she received another Academy Award nomination.  In 2007, Redgrave appeared in an episode of Desperate Housewives.  

The family has had a difficult past year - Lynn’s older brother, Corin, died at 70 last month and her niece, Natasha Richardson, died after a skiing accident last March.
