Lynn Redgrave Fast Facts:
Member of an esteemed family of actors that spans five generations, Redgrave trained at London's Central School of Speech and Drama and made professional stage premiere in a 1962 production of
A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Became an international star with her Oscar-nominated performance as a heavyset woman-in-love in the 1966 film
Georgy Girl

Morgan!
(Both lost to Elizabeth Taylor.)
Debuted on Broadway in the show
Black Comedy
in 1967.

House Calls
in 1981, saying it was due to breastfeeding her newborn daughter on the set and not their allegation of a salary dispute. She lost the lawsuit and later claimed it resulted in being blacklisted in Hollywood.
A battle with bulimia and weight issues in general eventually led to a more positive attitude as the longtime spokesperson for Weight Watchers (1984-1992). The tagline "This is living" was used as the title for her 1991 autobiography.
Despite an overwhelming body of work, rarely had the opportunity to act with family members. The few instances include performing next to sister Vanessa onstage in Chekhov's
Three Sisters
(with niece Jemma Redgrave) and in the TV movie remake
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
Costarred with husband John Clark in the 1989 Broadway production of
Love Letters
. They later divorced in 2000.
Moved to the US in the early 1970s and has been a citizen since 1998. Included on Queen Elizabeth's New Year Honors List for 2002 and named Officer of the Order of the British Empire by Queen.
