Actress Lynn Redgrave, who received Oscar nominations for 'Georgy Girl' and 'Gods and Monsters', has died at the age of 67. Speaking on behalf of her children, her publicist Rick Miramontez said Redgrave died on Sunday night.

She had been treated for breast cancer in 2003. Lynn’s death comes a year after her niece Natasha Richardson died from head injuries sustained in a skiing accident, reports The Mirror.

Children Ben, Pema and Annabel said: "Our beloved mother Lynn Rachel passed away peacefully after a seven-year journey with breast cancer. 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."
