Lynn Redgrave Has Died - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 05-03-2010, 11:56 AM

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 'Shakespeare for My Father' and 'Nightingale,' 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.

I just read that.

She was a great actress and from all the interviews I've seen with her, seemed like a really great woman. God bless the family...

Now I'll be thinking of that Seekers song all day long and won't get it out of my head! Then again, it's a pretty good song.

I am so sick over this. I adored Lynn. She was BY FAR my favorite Redgrave and she was so cute in Georgy Girl and House Calls. I had the pleasure of seeing her speak in the mid 80s at a NYC Aids Walk Event. I'm really going to miss her - on many levels. Besides being a kick-ass entertainer, she was a lovely human being.

Lynn Redgrave always exuded a warm, very accessible quality about her. She seemed very nice, very down-to-earth.

The chemistry she had with Wayne Rogers in House Calls was great. It was never the same once she was fired. You'll notice the show only lasted one season after her departure.

A truly tragic loss.

I didn't even know she had cancer. RIP.

Oh, I'm so sad to hear this news. I just found out that she was ill a few days ago...

I always liked her too. I watched her appearances on Bill Maher's old "Politically Incorrect" show and she really seemed like a sweet, decent lady.

LuLu Rogers · 05-03-2010, 05:07 PM

Lynn was such a beautiful person, I'm simply at a loss right now. My prayers go out to her family. God Bless you Lynn!

Lynn was a classy lady. She will be missed.

Sad to report Lynn Redgrave,star of the TV series House Calls has died of breast cancer at the age of 67.
There has been a lot of tragedy in the Redgrave family in the last year.

She was fantastic as Jon Cryer's mom in Morgan Stewart's Coming Home.
