Oscar-nominated actress Lynn Redgrave has died.  She passed away at her Connecticut home on Sunday. Redgrave had been battling breast cancer for 7 years. She was 67.

Redgrave was nominated for Academy Awards for her roles in 1966′s Georgy Girl and 1998′s Gods and Monsters. Her last role was on an episode of Ugly Betty last year.

It’s been a tough few years for the Redgrave family. Lynn’s brother, actor Corin Redgrave, died of cancer last month. Her niece, Natasha Richardson, died in 2009 after a skiing injury. Redgrave leaves behind three children and her sister, fellow actress, Vanessa Redgrave.

RIP.
