Actress Lynn Redgrave has died at age 67

By MICHAEL KUCHWARA and HILLEL ITALIE (AP)

NEW YORK — Lynn Redgrave, an introspective and independent player in her family's acting dynasty who became a 1960s sensation as the unconventional 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 peacefully Sunday night at her home in Kent, Conn. Children Ben, Pema and Annabel were with her, as were close friends.

"Our beloved mother Lynn Rachel passed away peacefully after a seven year journey with breast cancer," Redgrave's children said in a statement Monday. "She lived, loved and worked harder than ever before. The endless memories she created as a mother, grandmother, writer, actor and friend will sustain us for the rest of our lives. Our entire family asks for privacy through this difficult time."

Wow! I hadn't heard she wasn't doing well...I do remember her having breast Cancer years ago.

I was going to mention a show/series she was in that ran years ago on PBS,(might have been a British production) that I thought was quite good. But after checking IMDB, I can't begin to figure out what it was!

Rest in Peace.

I remember the rave reviews she got for Georgie Girl ca. 1966. It never appealled to me at the time, but I saw it ten years later and really enjoyed it.

RIP.

She was a marvelous actress - somewhat overshadowed by her older sister Vanessa, but very talented in her own right.

Several deaths in that family over the past year. Vanessa Redgrave's daughter, Natasha Richardson died tragically in 2009. Corin Redgrave, brother of Vanessa and Lynn Redgrave died recently.

And to the politics forum we go - amazed it took this long. Even Beri knows when to behave. We're talking about someone who died.

She'd better hope God isn't a Jew.

That was her sister, you assclown.

'Linda Hellerman'? Isn't that supposed to be Lillian Hellman?

Lynn may have had some controversial statements as well, but I stand by my post.

I only knew her briefly, about 30 years ago, but she was a nice and unpretentious lady. And a-political.

[Big Al]

I knew she was a fantastic actress, but my fondest memory is when she did "House Calls" with Wayne Rogers.

RIP

My mistake.

But it seems to me you could have been civil about it.

YOU could have been "civil" and not posted that kind of comment on an RIP thread! i see you're causing trouble here already. you just make friends wherever you go. NOT!

[bertrand]

1) I was not the one that called Goodspeak an 'assclown'.

2) I was mistaken. Lynn did not share Vanessa's politics and they had a fallout that lasted years. They did reconcile.

Admitting mistake: impressive.

Sloppy attempt at coverup and blaming others for commenting: not so much...

it wasn't just an "error," it was another one of your errors of judgment!

Yup. How many there be?

Um.

Huh?

I admitted my mistake. What more do you want....a pint of blood?

Wow.

Valerie,

Don't worry, I knew that - I was just surprised that I would have been called uncivil by GS considering I wasn't even the one who called him a name, no matter how justified it might have been.

Goodspeak,

If the thread had been about Vanessa Redgrave's passing, you would not have retracted your vile statement.

Hence, your apology has no meaning.

Bertrand.

Please note that my response was to the posters you quoted in your remarks.

Valerie, OTOH, has issues that would take hours to explain.

I have no beef with you.

Too young. RIP

Indeed.

Much too young.
