"Hey there, Georgy Girl . . ." The song was everywhere in the mid-sixties, from a lovely black & white British movie with Lynn Redgrave. She was from a great acting family that has known little but tragedy in the past year. Lynn's niece, Natasha Richardson, died while skiing in 2009, her brother, Corin, died last month, and now she is gone today. Vanessa Redgrave, sister of Lynn and Corin, and Liam Neeson, Natasha's husband, carry on.
". . . swingin' down the street so fancy-free . . ." We need great actors to show us what is inside ourselves, just as great writers and artists do. The Redgraves have met their call and served us well.
