Some sad news hit THN tonight. British actress Lynn Redgrave has lost her battle with breast cancer at the young age of 67. The Hollywood Reporter reports:
Lynn Redgrave, who shot to international fame for her performance as a free-spirited bird in 1966’s “Georgy Girl,” died Sunday at her home in Connecticut after a battle with breast cancer. She was 67.
Redgrave’s turn as a chubby, childlike Londoner pursued by her father’s middle-aged boss (James Mason) won her an Oscar nomination for best actress and the New York Film Critics Circle Award. She garnered another Academy Award nomination for supporting actress in “Gods and Monsters” (1998), playing a testy housekeeper.
Lynn Redgrave was the younger sister of actress Vanessa Redgrave and the late actor Corin Redgrave.
