(AP FILE PHOTO) By Hillel Italie and Michael KuchwaraAssociated Press Mon., May 3, 2010 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, died at her home in Kent, Conn., on Sunday night. She was 67.

“Our beloved mother Lynn Rachel passed away peacefully after a seven-year journey with breast cancer,” Redgrave’s children, Ben, Pema and Annabel, 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.” Redgrave was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2002, had a mastectomy in January 2003 and underwent chemotherapy. 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. The youngest child of Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson, Lynn Redgrave never quite managed the acclaim — or notoriety — of elder sibling Vanessa Redgrave, but received Oscar nominations for Georgy Girl and Gods and Monsters, and Tony nominations for Mrs. Warren’s Profession, Shakespeare for My Father and The Constant Wife. In recent years, she also made appearances on TV in Ugly Betty, Law & Order and Desperate Housewives.

In theatre, the ruby-haired Redgrave often displayed a sunny, sweet and open personality, much like her ebullient offstage personality. It worked well in such shows as Black Comedy — her Broadway debut in 1972 — and again two years later in My Fat Friend, a comedy about an overweight young woman who sheds pounds to find romance. Redgrave’s play Nightingale at off-Broadway’s Manhattan Theatre Club in 2009 was the last time she appeared on stage in New York. Lights on Broadway marquees will be dimmed Tuesday. “She was adored by audiences, and although she embarked on a medical treatment as previews began, she never missed a show and gave magnificent performances eight times a week,” said Lynne Meadow, artistic director of MTC. “We admired her strength, her talent, her courage and her enormous good heart. There wasn’t a stage hand, a press rep, a box office person who didn’t worship Lynn. She was true theatre royalty.” Tall and blue-eyed like her sister, she was as open about her personal life as Vanessa has been about politics. In plays and in interviews, Lynn Redgrave confided about her family, her marriage and her health.

She acknowledged that she suffered from bulimia and served as a spokeswoman for Weight Watchers. With daughter Annabel Clark, she released a 2004 book about her fight with cancer, Journal: A Mother and Daughter’s Recovery From Breast Cancer. Redgrave was born in London in 1943 and despite self-doubts pursued the family trade. She studied at London’s Central School of Speech and Drama, and was not yet 20 when she debuted professionally on stage in a London production of A Midsummer’s Night Dream. Like her siblings, she appeared in plays and in films, working under Noel Coward and Laurence Olivier as a member of the National Theatre and under director/brother-in-law Tony Richardson in the 1963 screen hit Tom Jones. “Before I was born, my father was a movie star and a stage star,” the actress said in 1993. “I was raised in a household where we didn’t see our parents in the morning. We lived in the nursery.

Our nanny made our breakfast, and I was dressed up to go downstairs to have tea with my parents, if they were there.” True fame caught her with Georgy Girl, billed as “the wildest thing to hit the world since the miniskirt.” The 1966 film starred Redgrave as the plain, childlike Londoner pursued by her father’s middle-aged boss, played by James Mason. Georgy Girl didn’t lead to lasting commercial success, but did anticipate a long-running theme: Redgrave’s weight. She weighed 180 pounds while making the film, leading New York Times critic Michael Stern to complain that Redgrave “cannot be quite as homely as she makes herself in this film. “Slimmed down, cosseted in a couture salon, and given more of the brittle, sophisticated lines she tosses off with such abandon here, she could become a comedienne every bit as good as the late Kay Kendall,” he wrote. Films such as The Happy Hooker and Every Little Crook and Nanny were remembered less than Redgrave’s decision to advocate for Weight Watchers.

She even referenced Georgy Girl in one commercial, showing a clip and saying, “This was me when I made the movie, because this is the way I used to eat.” At age 50, Redgrave was ready to tell her story in full. As she wrote in the foreword to Shakespeare for My Father, she was out of work and set off on a “journey that began almost as an act of desperation,” writing a play out of her “passionately emotional desire” to better understand her father, who had died in 1985. “I didn’t really know him,” Redgrave said in 1993. “I lived in his house. I was in awe of him and I adored him, and I was terrified of him and I hated him and I loved him, all in one go.” Redgrave credited the play, which interspersed readings from Shakespeare with family memories, with bringing her closer to her relatives and reviving her film career.

Photograph: Evan Agostini/AP Close This article is 6 years old Actor Lynn Redgrave , the sister of Vanessa Redgrave, has died aged 67 after a lengthy battle with cancer, just one month after the death of her brother Corin. Her son Ben and daughters Pema and Annabel were at her bedside when she died at her home in Connecticut yesterday, her publicist Rick Miramontez announcedtoday. In a statement, her children said: "Our beloved mother Lynn Rachel passed away peacefully after a seven-year journey with breast cancer. 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." She is the third member of the Redgrave acting dynasty to die in just over a year.

Her niece Natasha Richardson, 45, daughter of Vanessa and wife of Irish actor Liam Neeson, died from head injuries suffered in a skiing accident in Quebec in March 2009. Redgrave, who shot to fame with the lead role in 1960s hit Georgy Girl, was the youngest of Sir Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson's three children. Though successful on film and stage – she received Oscar nominations for Georgy Girl and for 1998's Gods and Monsters – she never received the acclaim accorded to her sister. She would admit, in later life, her family did not have great expectations of her. "Vanessa was the one expected to be the great actress," she said in an Associated Press interview in 1999. "It was always, 'Corin's the brain, Vanessa the shining star, oh, and then there's Lynn." One of her last appearances in public was at the funeral of Corin, 70, an actor and leftwing activist, at the "actor's" church, St Paul's in Covent Garden, on 12 April.

Though looking extremely frail, supported by family and with her head covered in a black scarf, she raised laughter at the service when she recalled how he taught her to climb trees without telling her how to get back down again. She appeared in several other films in the 60s, including Tom Jones and Girl with Green Eyes, for which she was nominated for a Bafta. She married actor and director John Clark in 1967 – they divorced in 2000 – and moved to America and became a US citizen. She made her Broadway debut in 1967, but returned frequently to London's West End, where, in Three Sisters, she performed with Vanessa. She was better known in the US, where she appeared in television series House Calls, as well as in adverts for Weight Watchers. Her autobiography, This is Living, contained a candid account of her life, including her battle with bulimia. The book provided a basis for her one‑woman play, Shakespeare for My Father. In 2004, she released a book written with her daughter Annabel Clark about her fight against cancer, titled A Mother and Daughter's Recovery from Breast Cancer.

The 1990s saw a revival in her film career with 1996 hit Shine, as well as Gods and Monsters, which won a Golden Globe in 1998. Peter Pan, Kinsey and The White Countess – the Merchant Ivory production in which she starred alongside Vanessa and her niece Natasha – followed in the 2000s. She was awarded an OBE for services to drama in 2002. Last November she wrote and starred in another one-woman stage production, Nightingale, about her troubled past. She appeared seated throughout and read from a script, amid reports at the time that she was undergoing treatment for an undisclosed illness. Her most recent television credits included two hit American series, Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty. Her personal life reached the front pages in 1998 when she discovered that the boy she had regarded as her grandson was, in fact, her husband's son. It emerged that her husband had fathered a child with the couple's personal assistant, and the assistant had then gone on to marry the couple's son, Ben. The messy fallout and subsequent divorce dominated the headlines.

Last night, director Michael Winner, who cast Redgrave as an extra in one of her first movies, Shoot to Kill, in 1960, said: "This is terrible news. I've known her for more than 50 years … She was a phenomenal actress, she could do comedy, tragedy – anything really – with absolute ease." Sir Michael Parkinson said: "She was maybe the jolliest and most likable of all the family. She was a lovely, funny, open character, she was very easy to get on with. She was a good actress, but being a Redgrave I suppose she couldn't help it – it's in their blood, in their marrow. She had a great comedic talent." Lynn Redgrave, who has died aged 67 following a long fight with breast cancer, enjoyed more than three decades of screen work.

Her son, Ben, and daughters, Kelly and Annabel, were with her when she died in Connecticut on Sunday. Yesterday, they released a statement mourning her loss. "Our beloved mother Lynn Rachel passed away peacefully after a seven-year journey with breast cancer," they said. The news comes less than a month after the death of her older brother, Corin Redgrave, also an actor, who died of cancer on 6 April, and a year after her niece, the actress Natasha Richardson, died from head injuries sustained in a skiing accident.

Redgrave had spoken at her brother's funeral, recalling that he had taught her how to climb trees without telling her how to get back down again. She was the third child of actors Sir Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson. Her older sister is Vanessa Redgrave. The director Michael Winner, who cast Redgrave in one of her first films, said she had been "a joy". "This is terrible news, I've known her for more than 50 years," he said. "She was a phenomenal actress, she could do comedy, tragedy – anything really – with absolute ease. Even then you could see she had a bubbly quality. She was a wonderful person and a brave woman involved in many causes." Sir Michael Parkinson expressed his sadness at the news. "She was maybe the jolliest and most likeable of all the family," he said. "She was a lovely, funny, open character, she was very easy to get on with.

She was a good actress, but being a Redgrave I suppose she couldn't help it – it's in their blood, in their marrow." Known to be introspective, independent and modest, she spoke of her talented siblings in 1999, saying: "Vanessa was the one expected to be the great actress. It was always, 'Corin's the brain, Vanessa the shining star, oh, and then there's Lynn'." In 1967, Redgrave married the actor and director John Clark. They divorced in 2000. Over the years, she had discussed her health problems associated with bulimia and breast cancer, the latter of which resulted in a mastectomy. She was first treated for the illness in 2003. While she may not have had the profile of her elder siblings, she was an actress of high acclaim in her own right. She received Oscar nominations for Georgy Girl, which earned her popular acclaim, and for Gods and Monsters, as well as Tony nominations for the stage plays Mrs Warren's Profession, Shakespeare for My Father and The Constant Wife.

In 1991, she starred with her sister in a stage performance of Chekhov's Three Sisters, at the Queen's Theatre. Redgrave was awarded an OBE for her services to drama in 2002. It was Georgy Girl that made her a household name in 1966, with her starring character – a free-spirited 22-year-old working-class woman – encapsulating the spirit of the age. Based on a novel by Margaret Forster, it also starred Alan Bates, James Mason and Charlotte Rampling. Having trained as an actress in London, at the Central School of Speech and Drama, she made her theatrical debut in 1962 at the Royal Court Theatre, where she performed in A Midsummer Night's Dream. She was invited to join the National Theatre for its inaugural season at the Old Vic in the early 1960s, working with such acclaimed directors as Laurence Olivier, Franco Zeffirelli and Noel Coward.

As well as her stage career, she appeared in numerous films and television shows, including one-off appearances in Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty, and most recently, the romantic drama The Jane Austen Book Club, in 2007. Redgrave made a return to films in the late 1990s in movies such as Shine, in 1996, based on the life of the pianist David Helfgott, and Gods and Monsters in 1998, a film that dramatised the last days of the life of the troubled homosexual film director James Whale, which starred Ian McKellen.

Share Lynn Redgrave obituary | Culture | The Guardian Lynn Redgrave obituary Gifted actor with a flair for comedy from a celebrated British theatrical dynasty Though Lynn Redgrave was less politically engaged than her older siblings, Vanessa and Corin, she was no less a remarkable talent. Photograph: Eamonn McCabe/The Guardian Monday 3 May 2010 14.40 EDT First published on Monday 3 May 2010 14.40 EDT Share on Messenger Close Even by the colourful standards of her own family's public profile and professional achievements, Lynn Redgrave, who has died of breast cancer aged 67, was an exceptional personality. Her death seems particularly cruel after the loss of both her niece, Natasha Richardson , after a skiing accident last year, and her brother, Corin Redgrave , last month.

The third child of the actors Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson, Lynn was a gifted comedian who received her first Oscar nomination for a delightful, clownish performance in the title role of Georgy Girl (1966), one of the defining movies of the so-called swinging 60s. She went on to spend many years living and working in America. Less politically engaged than her older siblings, Vanessa and Corin, she was no less a remarkable talent. Her 1991 television remake of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? with Lynn and Vanessa in the Bette Davis and Joan Crawford roles respectively, is a collector's item. The sisters also starred together in a riotous and emotionally raw 1990 revival of Chekhov's Three Sisters at the Queen's Theatre , directed by Robert Sturua of the Rustaveli theatre in Tbilisi, Georgia. Vanessa played Olga, and the sisters' niece Jemma Redgrave (Corin's daughter) played Irena. Lynn's Masha was an unforgettable, frustrated bundle of nervous energy seeping through her cigarette smoke, musical wails and sudden cries.

In her touring solo show, Shakespeare for My Father (1994-96), she exorcised her feelings of distance from the imperious Michael Redgrave by relating how she reached him only by becoming an actor herself. The lonely, lumpy child was transformed by her talent, and the evening, full of wonderful vignettes and speeches, reached a moving climax in the reconciliation scene of Lear with Cordelia. She turned her attention to her mother's life in a 2001 play for seven actors, The Mandrake Root. In her later one-woman show Nightingale, which won the LA Drama Critics Circle award for best solo performance, she again explored the life of her mother, as well as her maternal grandmother, and also touched upon her own failed marriage. Lynn's legal battles and marital upheavals were the stuff of soap opera. In 1967 she married John Clark, a former child actor who played the title role in Just William on BBC radio. She settled happily in California in 1974, with Clark as her manager.

In 1981 she sued Universal Television for wrongful dismissal and claimed she was not allowed to breast-feed her third child, Annabel, in her dressing-room during the filming of the CBS sitcom House Calls. The litigation lasted 13 years; she lost the suit and was declared bankrupt. Her marriage to Clark was dissolved in 2000, two years after he revealed that he had had an affair with her personal assistant, Nicolette Hannah, and that Lynn's supposed grandson Zachary was in fact Clark's own son by Hannah, who had married (and subsequently divorced) their son Benjamin. Lynn battled with her weight and was a spokesperson for WeightWatchers in the 1980s. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002, had a mastectomy the following year and wrote a journal of her recovery with photographs by her daughter Annabel. Lynn was born in London and, like Vanessa before her, attended Queen's Gate school, Kensington, and the Central School of Speech and Drama. Her first job was at the Royal Court in A Midsummer Night's Dream (1962). The director Tony Richardson (Vanessa's then husband) told her to play Helena "as a giraffe".

She was one of the original 12 contract artists in Laurence Olivier's National Theatre, tragic as the daughter Kattrin in Mother Courage and hilariously dim as the gormless flapper Jackie Coryton in Noël Coward's own 1964 revival of Hay Fever – the one which had a cast, Coward said, that could play the Albanian telephone directory. (Her co-stars were Edith Evans, Robert Lang, Maggie Smith, Robert Stephens and Derek Jacobi.) Before she left for California, she appeared in the West End transfer of David Hare's Slag in 1971 and at Greenwich in 1973 with Dave King in Garson Kanin's Born Yesterday. But her career, to British eyes at least, became unfocused. None of her films really matched the charm of early work in Tom Jones (1963) with Albert Finney; The Girl With Green Eyes (1964) with Rita Tushingham and Peter Finch; and, of course, Georgy Girl, with Alan Bates and Charlotte Rampling.

There was the odd sighting on Broadway, from Peter Shaffer's Black Comedy with Michael Crawford in 1966 to Alan Bennett's Talking Heads in 2003. A London visit in 2001, when she took over Patricia Hodge's role as Dotty Otley in a revival of Michael Frayn's sensationally funny backstage farce Noises Off, reminded audiences of her zany brilliance. Lynn played Dotty, the fast-fading rep actress in a floral housecoat, like some ridiculous parody of Gloria Swanson in Ashton-under-Lyne, refusing grandly to speak when constrained by a neck brace and dark glasses, or cutting loose maniacally in a symphony of hilarious postures and stricken pretensions, bearing plates of sardines around the stage as if they were the crown jewels. No Dotty was ever dottier, or funnier. Her films included such oddities as Woody Allen's 1972 version of a sex manual, Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask) and the title role in a low-budget version of Xaviera Hollander's The Happy Hooker (1975).

One of her best screen roles was the jaded London hostess in Getting It Right, adapted by Elizabeth Jane Howard from her own novel, in 1989. She had fine and graceful supporting appearances in Shine (1996), opposite Geoffrey Rush as the tortured pianist, and in Gods and Monsters (1998), with Ian McKellen as the eccentric film director James Whale. Her performance as Whale's longtime housekeeper was nominated for a best supporting actress Oscar. Later on, she appeared in such diverse films as the romantic comedy The Next Best Thing (2000), David Cronenberg's Spider (2002), Peter Pan (2003) and Kinsey (2004). The occasional glimpses and rare stage appearances only served to whet the appetite. For surely, in her own and very different way, Lynn was as great an actress as Vanessa. It just never really seemed like it.

In an interview in the New York Times in 2003, she described her recurring stage nightmare, in which she starred in a production of Turgenev's A Month in the Country: "I walk through a door of a Russian house and suddenly I'm in the Colosseum in Rome. And there are huge crowds and I can't be heard. They're yelling, 'We can't hear you!' It's awful. They keep yelling, 'We can't hear you.'" She appeared on Broadway in 2005 at the same time as both Natasha (in A Streetcar Named Desire) and Vanessa (in Hecuba), receiving the best reviews for her performance as Mrs Culver in Somerset Maugham's The Constant Wife at the Roundabout theatre. "Every night, for a couple of hours," she said, "I wasn't a person with cancer. You almost feel like yourself when there's so much evidence, mainly the mirror, to show you you aren't. It was true 'Doctor Theatre'." She was appointed OBE in 2002. Lynn is survived by her children Ben, Pema and Annabel, sister Vanessa, and six grandchildren.

• Lynn Rachel Redgrave, actor, born 8 March 1943; died 2 May 2010 Actor nominated for Oscar in 60s and 90s dies at 67, weeks after brother Corin's death Published: 3 May 2010 Lynn Redgrave, known for work in 'Georgy Girl,' dies at 67 LYNN REDGRAVE, 67 Lynn Redgrave, known for work in 'Georgy Girl,' dies at 67 In the one-woman show "Shakespeare for My Father," Ms. Redgrave explored the complex psyche of her father, Michael Redgrave. (Bill O'leary/the Washington Post) Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, May 4, 2010 Lynn Redgrave, an actress who excelled in unglamorous screen roles, notably in "Georgy Girl" (1966) as an ugly duckling in swinging London, and then alternated between supporting roles and a long engagement as spokeswoman for Weight Watchers, died May 2 at her home in Kent, Conn. She was 67. No cause of death was reported, but Ms.

Redgrave had been treated for breast cancer in recent years. She explored her struggles with cancer and bulimia in books and one-woman shows, which also touched on her place in one of Britain's greatest theatrical dynasties. Ms. Redgrave was the youngest child of actors Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson and the sibling of actress Vanessa Redgrave and actor Corin Redgrave, who died April 6 at 70. Corin's daughter Jemma became an actress, as did Vanessa Redgrave's daughters Joely Richardson and Natasha Richardson, who died last year at 45 from injuries in a skiing accident. Unlike her siblings, Lynn Redgrave said she did not plan on a career in the arts. She entered the family business only after her interest in horse jumping proved unrealistic. Under the tutelage of her brother-in-law, , celebrated director Tony Richardson, Ms. Redgrave made a memorable film debut as a barmaid who screams "Rape!" in "Tom Jones" (1963) before moving on to larger parts on stage and screen. Impressed by her performance in "Tom Jones," Laurence Olivier hired Ms. Redgrave for his National Theatre Company and cast her in works by Shakespeare and Bertolt Brecht.

She displayed a talent for light comedy, reportedly stealing the show as a less-than-erudite flapper in Noel Coward's "Hay Fever," while also taking screen roles that elevated her public recognition. In "Girl With Green Eyes" (1964), Ms. Redgrave was the slang-spewing, man-eating roommate of a country girl played by Rita Tushingham. Two years later, Ms. Redgrave gained 18 pounds for the starring role in "Georgy Girl," in which she was cast as a frumpy, good-hearted soul who finds love with her father's boss, played by James Mason. Ms. Redgrave earned an Academy Award nomination for "Georgy Girl," putting her in direct competition with her sister, Vanessa, who starred the same year in "Morgan!" (They both lost to Elizabeth Taylor for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?") Nevertheless, "Georgy Girl" was Ms. Redgrave's breakthrough and perhaps her finest and most enduring performance, combining what critics regarded as an unpretentious acting style that managed to convey vulnerability and great personal appeal.

"Miss Redgrave has magic in the very way she transforms face and figure from scene to scene, bringing inner beauty and grace to physical terms, contracting and expanding for the size of passion, for the grand laugh at life's ironies and the takeoff on its pretenses," wrote reviewer Judith Crist. "Hers is a beautiful performance." "Georgy Girl" cemented Ms. Redgrave's place in popular culture but had, in her own words, typecast her as "the happy lass with the broken heart." She played variations on that role for years to come, including the play "My Fat Friend," which reached Broadway in 1974. She spent most of the 1980s as the spokeswoman for Weight Watchers and wrote a well-received book about her eating binges, "This Is Living: How I Found Health and Happiness." Her acting career, meanwhile, was scattershot. She appeared in "The Deadly Affair" (1966), a spy thriller directed by Sidney Lumet, and the slapstick comedy "Smashing Time" (1967) with Tushingham.

One of her few bright spots was Woody Allen's "Every Thing You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask" (1972); she played a queen who sports an unbreakable chastity belt. Mostly, she appeared in a series of admittedly "terrible" films such as "The Happy Hooker" (1975), in the title role as the author Xaviera Hollander. She also starred in short-lived TV series, most improbably as the Irish-Catholic love interest of the kvetching Jewish comedian Jackie Mason on "Chicken Soup" (1989).

Introspective and independent actress dies at 67 By HILLEL ITALIE and MICHAEL KUCHWARA, Associated Press Writers 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." Redgrave was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2002, had a mastectomy in January 2003 and underwent chemotherapy. 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. The youngest child of Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson, Lynn Redgrave never quite managed the acclaim--or notoriety--of elder sibling Vanessa Redgrave, but received Oscar nominations for "Georgy Girl" and "Gods and Monsters," and Tony nominations for "Mrs. Warren's Profession," "Shakespeare for My Father" and "The Constant Wife." In recent years, she also made appearances on TV in "Ugly Betty," "Law & Order" and "Desperate Housewives." "Vanessa was the one expected to be the great actress," Lynn Redgrave told The Associated Press in 1999.

"It was always, 'Corin's the brain, Vanessa the shining star, oh, and then there's Lynn.'" In theater, the ruby-haired Redgrave often displayed a sunny, sweet and open personality, much like her ebullient offstage personality. It worked well in such shows as "Black Comedy"--her Broadway debut in 1972--and again two years later in "My Fat Friend," a comedy about an overweight young woman who sheds pounds to find romance. Redgrave's play "Nightingale" at off-Broadway's Manhattan Theatre Club in 2009 was the last time she appeared on stage in New York. Lights on Broadway marquees will be dimmed Tuesday. "She was adored by audiences, and although she embarked on a medical treatment as previews began, she never missed a show and gave magnificent performances eight times a week," said Lynne Meadow, artistic director of MTC. "We admired her strength, her talent, her courage and her enormous good heart. There wasn't a stage hand, a press rep, a box office person who didn't worship Lynn. She was true theatre royalty." Tall and blue-eyed like her sister, she was as open about her personal life as Vanessa has been about politics.

In plays and in interviews, Lynn Redgrave confided about her family, her marriage and her health. She acknowledged that she suffered from bulimia and served as a spokeswoman for Weight Watchers. With daughter Annabel Clark, she released a 2004 book about her fight with cancer, "Journal: A Mother and Daughter's Recovery From Breast Cancer." Redgrave was born in London in 1943 and despite self-doubts pursued the family trade. She studied at London's Central School of Speech and Drama, and was not yet 20 when she debuted professionally on stage in a London production of "A Midsummer's Night Dream." Like her siblings, she appeared in plays and in films, working under Noel Coward and Laurence Olivier as a member of the National Theater and under director/brother-in-law Tony Richardson in the 1963 screen hit "Tom Jones." "Before I was born, my father was a movie star and a stage star," the actress told the AP in 1993. "I was raised in a household where we didn't see our parents in the morning. We lived in the nursery.

Our nanny made our breakfast, and I was dressed up to go downstairs to have tea with my parents, if they were there." True fame caught her with "Georgy Girl," billed as "the wildest thing to hit the world since the miniskirt." The 1966 film starred Redgrave as the plain, childlike Londoner pursued by her father's middle-aged boss, played by James Mason. Dismissed by critic Pauline Kael as a false testament to free thinking, the movie was branded "cool" by moviegoers on both side of the Atlantic and received several Academy Award nominations, including one for Redgrave and one for the popular title song performed by the Australian group The Seekers. "All the films I've been in--and I haven't been in that many attention-getting films--no one expected anything of, least of all me," Redgrave said in an AP interview in 1999. "Georgy Girl" didn't lead to lasting commercial success, but did anticipate a long-running theme: Redgrave's weight.

She weighed 180 pounds while making the film, leading New York Times critic Michael Stern to complain that Redgrave "cannot be quite as homely as she makes herself in this film. "Slimmed down, cosseted in a couture salon, and given more of the brittle, sophisticated lines she tosses off with such abandon here, she could become a comedienne every bit as good as the late Kay Kendall," he wrote. Films such as "The Happy Hooker" and "Every Little Crook and Nanny" were remembered less than Redgrave's decision to advocate for Weight Watchers. She even referenced "Georgy Girl" in one commercial, showing a clip and saying, "This was me when I made the movie, because this is the way I used to eat." At age 50, Redgrave was ready to tell her story in full. As she wrote in the foreword to "Shakespeare for My Father," she was out of work and set off on a "journey that began almost as an act of desperation," writing a play out of her "passionately emotional desire" to better understand her father, who had died in 1985.

In the 1993 AP interview, Redgrave remembered her father as a fearless stage performer yet a shy, tormented man who had great difficulty talking to his youngest daughter. "I didn't really know him," Redgrave said. "I lived in his house. I was in awe of him and I adored him, and I was terrified of him and I hated him and I loved him, all in one go." Redgrave credited the play, which interspersed readings from Shakespeare with family memories, with bringing her closer to her relatives and reviving her film career.

She played the supportive wife of pianist David Helfgott in "Shine" and received an Oscar nomination as the loyal housekeeper for filmmaker James Whale in "Gods and Monsters." She also appeared in "Peter Pan," "Kinsey" and "Confessions of a Shopaholic." On stage, she looked at her mother's side of the family in "The Mandrake Root" and "Rachel and Juliet." "Nightingale" touched upon her health, the life of her grandmother (Beatrice Kempson) and the end of her 32-year marriage to actor-director John Clark, who had disclosed that he had fathered a child with the future wife of their son Benjamin. She sat at a desk and worked from a script, but it didn't affect what the AP called "her touching, beautifully realized performance," the AP wrote last year. Lynn Redgrave is survived by six grandchildren, her sister Vanessa, and four nieces and nephews. A private funeral will be held later this week.
