Actress Lynn Redgrave has died at the age of 67 following a long battle with breast cancer, her family said in a statement Monday.
Redgrave, who was a member of Britain's Redgrave acting dynasty, died peacefully at her home in Connecticut.
The London-born Redgrave received two Oscar nominations during her long career, for her role as an awkward teacher in the 1966 film Georgy Girl and also for the 1998 movie Gods and Monsters, in which she played a shocked housekeeper.
She was married to actor-director John Clark from 1967 to 2000 and they had three children together.
"Our beloved mother Lynn Rachel passed away peacefully after a seven year journey with breast cancer," her family said in a statement Monday.
"She lived, loved and worked harder than ever before. 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."
