This is a Genuine G-Shot in memory of the late great actress Lynn Redgrave. From The Guardian: Lynn Redgrave -- Georgy Girl of the 60s -- dies of cancerActor nominated for Oscar in 60s and 90s dies at 67, weeks after brother Corin's death. 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 announced today. 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." =================== Oscar Tony Golden Globe Weight Watchers Breast Cancer Died Death Memorial Memorium Obit Obituary Genuine G-Shot by GARi G-Shots TV Gary Mondfrans Videographer Music: Kenny G "As Time Goes By"
