| Lynn Redgrave represents the American
branch of her proud family tree, embracing as it does more
than five generations of actors. Youngest child of Sir Michael
Redgrave and actress Rachel Kempson, sister to Vanessa and Corin, she is one of today’s
seven living members practicing their craft. After her apprenticeship as a founding member
of Britain’s National Theater, where she worked for such luminaries as Laurence
Olivier, Edith Evans and Noel Coward, she came to front and center attention with GEORGY GIRL in 1966 winning the New York Film Critics Award for Best
Actress, a Golden Globe® Award, and an Academy Award® nomination. Since then, she has filled the intervening years without stopping, happily moving across all fields of the performing arts as actress, teacher, author and director, collecting many awards along the way. Her one-woman show Shakespeare For My Father, opened to Tony-nominated acclaim in 1993 and later played London’s Theatre Royal, Haymarket. Among her many movies are TOM JONES, THE GIRL WITH GREEN EYES, SMASHING TIME, THE HAPPY HOOKER, and the Academy Award®-winning SHINE, for which she was nominated as Best Supporting Actress at the British Academy Awards. Lynn was the winner of 1999's Golden Globe® for her performance as Hanna in the film GODS AND MONSTERS. For this role, she was also nominated for the Academy Award®, the Screen Actors Guild Award, and won the Independent Spirit Award and the London Film Critics Circle Award.
