RIP Lynn Redgrave

[23skidoo]

Another loss for the Redgrave clan (after last year's death of Natasha Richardson) - Lynn Redgrave has died of breast cancer:

I remember her primarily from the 1970s sitcom House Calls that she did with Wayne Rogers. She's also well remembered for her 1960s film Georgy Girl and also for playing Xaviera Hollander in the first Happy Hooker movie.

RIP

What a truly awful year for that family. RIP Lynn.

Wow, what a shame for the family. And only 67 years old.

I always enjoyed her in House Calls and everything else she was in.

 

[Mistral]

RIP Lynn. A gallant gal.

How sad. But she'd been sick for a long time---seven years? At least she's not suffering anymore.

I always liked her; she reminded me of my late aunt.

 

[Geck]

Damn. RIP.

I also didn't know her older brother Corin Redgrave (also an actor and political activist) also just passed a few weeks ago.

That's unfortunate. She was a good actress, although I always had a weird aversion to her because a commercial for the TV remake of "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" gave me nightmares as a child.

She always seemed a really classy person. RIP, Ms. Redgrave.

I don't recall seeing any mention of that until now, either. What a dreadful year for that family.

Such a talent and too young, really. She is at least out of pain.

Good night sweet princess...RIP

First Natasha, now Lynn... the world just isn't fair sometimes. Poor Joely.

 

[Tulin]

She was fantastic in the wonderul "Gods and Monsters".

R.I.P. Ms Redgrave.

Hey there, Georgy girl. Swingin' down the street so fancy-free. Nobody you meet could ever see the loneliness there - inside you

RIP

Her talent will be long remembered. RIP
