Oscar-Nominated Actress Lynn Redgrave Dies at 67

Sad news: British actress Lynn Redgrave died last night at age 67. Redgrave was twice Oscar-nominated almost thirty years apart for her work in 1966's Georgy Girl and the 1998 Bill Condon film Gods and Monsters, and she is a member of the famous Redgrave acting clan, which recently suffered two other losses (Redgrave's brother Corin passed away last month, while her niece Natasha Richardson lost her life in a skiing accident last year).

Here's the AP report:

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, 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.
