Lynn Redgrave has died of metastatic breast cancer.
The photo on the left is by her daughter Annabel Clark, August 2003, after surgery, chemo and radiation.Here's a link to a post from Ms. magazine blog, which includes a list of her films.
She wrote a book about her cancer experience, which was published with her daughter's photos. In 2005 they were interviwed by CNN's Paula Zahn:
ZAHN: You were much more troubled by losing your hair than your breast?
REDGRAVE: I really was. I think if I'd been younger, the breast would have been more of an issue. It is still strange to only have one. I didn't have reconstruction. One of them is one of those wonderful prosthetics. I've gotten used to that.
While going through chemo, she never missed a performance.
