Actress Lynn Redgrave died Sunday after a seven-year battle with breast cancer, according to her family.
Redgrave, 67, was surrounded by her children at her Connecticut home when she died, the family said in a statement Monday morning.
The star of stage, film and television was twice nominated for an Academy Award: for best actress in 1966 for her role in “Georgy Girl” and for best supporting actress in the 1998 film “Gods and Monsters.”
“She lived, loved and worked harder than ever before,” the family said. “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,” the statement said.
