Lynn Redgrave
Lynn RedgraveThe daughter of celebrated British actor Michael Redgrave and sister of Oscar-winner Vanessa, Lynn Redgrave was born March 8, 1943, in London. Her professional acting debut came in 1962 in a stage production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and she made her big-screen debut the following year in the risque Tom Jones.
