The woman was a crush in my youth, a hoot in college days and ultimately a fine example of a well-rounded actress when I put it all together as I aged.
Many thanks, dear Lady. Sleep well.
Lynn Redgrave was alway one of my favorites, from GEORGY GIRL on.
Very well said, Java. My sentiments exactly.
I'm sad Another great actress has left us. I also grew up watching Ms. Redgrave on TV shows like House Calls and others. Georgy Girl will always be one of my favorite movie. R.I.P. Ms. Redgrave. :bluesad:
