She was only 67 years old, according to IMDb.com.
That's way too young to go.

Wasn't she in a show just a month or so ago? I know she was sick but I thought she was better. Poor thing.

Wow. First Natasha, then Colin, now Lynn. What a terrible year for the Redgrave family. May she rest in peace. I'm sure Vanessa is beside herself.

I remember seeing Lynn in "Sweet Sue" on Broadway with Mary Tyler Moore in the mid-'80s.
The play was pretty rotten, but I will never forget the "star wattage" of seeing Lynn and Mary on stage together. They were both utterly captivating, and it showed me how and why those two ladies were stars.

Lynn was a fighter, a great and underestimated actress and a kind, gracious person.
I am sad for her children, her family and for all of us.

She was such a special talent. I am very upset over the news. she will be missed dearly. Poor Vanessa. Losing Lynn, and Natasha within a shorter period of time.
I never knew who she was until I came across videos of her on youtube playing "Celebrity Jeopardy", and the woman was a hoot! Now I have seen much of her body of work, and I am deeply saddened.
Rest In Peace Lynn..

I am very saddened by this news.
She was such a gifted actress, in "Black Comedy," "My Fat Friend," "The Constant Wife," so many others. And I liked "Sweet Sue."

Man. Breast cancer f**king sucks.
If anything, she was getting better with age. Her bit role at the end of KINSEY was one of the best things about that movie.

I have my own Lynn Redgrave story. (Either bear with me and read it, or pass on to the next post. I get wordy sometimes.)
I had the great pleasure of meeting Lynn Redgrave when she was appearing off Broadway in "Talking Heads". It was August 30, 2003 and I had arrived WAY too early and was just standing outside the theatre when she approached from down the street. She nodded to me and said 'good evening - are you waiting for me?'. I told her that I was seeing the show for the 4th time (true) and how much I loved her character and performance in the play. She thanked me and asked me to stop by after the show and she'd sign my playbill for me. She had just finished chemotherapy treatments for her cancer and her hair was gone. She didn't have a drop of makeup on and all I could see was this incredibly beautiful face, without a blemish or a wrinkle on it. For all you could tell, she could have been 25.
After the show I waited outside for her to come out and give me that autograph. I waited and waited and no Lynn. Finally I went back into the theatre and there she was, with a few of the other cast members and the stage manager, having champagne at the lobby bar. She saw me and waived me in and put a glass of champagne in my hand, as she apologized for keeping me waiting!!!
Next day I was sitting in the cheap seats, all the way in the back, at the closing performance of "Long Day's Journey Into Night", starring sister Vanessa. Everybody around me (including me) was craning our necks to see all the celebrities going down that aisle. You can imagine how high my stock went when Lynn Redgrave and Natasha Richardson walked in, arm in arm, and Lynn looked to the left, saw me, and said "Mamie! Hello!".
And now - both gone. It's just too much.
