Actress Lynn Redgrave Passes Away

Actress and playwright Lynn Redgrave, sister to Vanessa Redgrave and aunt to the late Natasha Richardson, has died.

Redgrave passed away Sunday night at her home in Connecticut. She was 67. She is survived by her three children Ben, Pema, and Annabel in addition to her six grandchildren, her sister Vanessa, and four nieces and nephews. Her kids and close friends were at her side when she passed.

Her children said of their mother, “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. Our entire family asks for privacy through this difficult time.” A private funeral is scheduled to be held later this week.
