Lynn Redgrave, a member of the distinguished British acting family who became an overnight sensation playing the title character in the 1966 film "Georgy Girl," and later achieved acclaim on stage as both an actress and a writer, has died. She was 67.
Redgrave died Sunday with her children at her side at her home in Kent, Conn., said her publicist, Rick Miramontez.
"Our beloved mother Lynn Rachel passed away peacefully after a seven-year journey with breast cancer," her children, Ben, Pema and Annabel, said in a statement Monday. "She lived, loved and worked harder than ever before."
Redgrave's death comes on the heels of that of her actor brother, Corin, who died after a short illness last month. Her niece, Natasha Richardson, died of head injuries caused by a fall on a ski slope last year.
Redgrave's last stage appearance was in January, at the Invisible Theatre in Tucson, Ariz., where she performed her solo show "Rachel and Juliet."
"She talked about theater as the best doctor in the world," Susan Claassen, the Invisible Theatre's managing artistic director, told The Los Angeles Times Monday. "You would never guess there was anything wrong when she was on stage."

On the other hand, a world class experience awaits if one has tried in the Erie Canal, loads of fun. Just be sure to take a pair of old gloves with you (to hang onto the cables as you descend) and it’s helpful to have a compressed air horn with you to get the lock keeper’s attention. I cover a fun loop paddle that includes going through a lock (Cayuga/Seneca canal – Clyde River – Erie Canal Loop) in my guidebook “Take A Paddle – Finger Lakes New York Quiet Water for Canoes & Kayaks.”
The 12th anniversary of Cycling the Erie Canal bicycle tour on this year marks the 12th anniversary of Cycling the Erie Canal bicycle tour, taking place from July 11-18. The Canal Corporation is once again partnering with Parks & Trails NY to co-sponsor the eight-day, 400-mile, recreational bike tour from Buffalo to Albany along the historic and scenic Erie Canal. The tour continuously draws over 500 riders from many states and several foreign countries.

With the big news today that Conan O'Brien will do a show for TBS, I thought I'd take a look at his Twitter feed, where O'Brien has been posting various tidbits about his tour, which kicks off tonight in Eugene at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts. Here's what he says:
"The good news: I will be doing a show on TBS starting in November! The bad news: I'll be playing Rudy on the all new Cosby Show"
And earlier, he posted this:
"I'm in Eugene, OR and my room faces the theater where I debut tomorrow. The mob outside is in a frenzy."
