Actress Lynn Redgrave passed away on May 2, 2010 of a long battle with breast cancer. Her son Ben and daughters Pema and Annabel were with her when she died at her home.
Lynn, born March 8, 1943, is the younger sister of actress Vanessa Redgrave and the Aunt to Actresses (the late) Natasha Richardson (The Parent Trap) and Joely Richardson. You may recall, Natasha died in a tragic skiing accident in March of 2009, she was actor Liam Neison's wife.
Such tragedy to fall on such a well known and beloved family. My heart goes out to Lynn's children, Natasha's sister Joely (well known from Hallmark Hall of Fame's - Fallen Angel) and their dear Mother, Vanessa, (Hallmark Hall of Fame's - The Locket, and the new movie, Letters to Juliet,) who has now lost her precious daughter and sister.
Lynn Redgrave had a very long and successful acting career. Visit IMDB.com to see all her many acting credits.
My favorite movie that Lynn was in, is the Hallmark Hall of Fame Production, A Season for Miracles. She has a small, but very meaningful role in it. It's a very touching story- in which she brings such strength and purpose to her character, as the judge.
A Season for Miracles airs tonight, Wednesday, May 5, 2010, on the Hallmark Channel at 9 PM est.
My prayers go out to all of their family and friends...
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven..."
