Editing "to do"[edit]

Lynn's work in three media, plus her personal life, are all entangled in the text as it stands. How about separating them out, as is done with most actors:

Theatre
Film
Television
Personal life
ANY OTHER HEADS??

I'm willing to do the edit if other editors agree. El Ingles 16:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

♦ The article current lists several of her books, but without providing ISBNs. In addition to her Filmography:

Books (as author)
Books (as narrator) - possible as filled out section 2.1 Voice Work

Copyright[edit]

This article seems to have been copied with this edit entirely from the bio section of Redgrave's official website [1]. More than a year's worth of subsequent edits have failed to completely eliminate the very copy and paste job. I'm not sure what to do about it, but I'm putting this here so that any major edits can be attributed back to this. If anyone else feels like jumping in and working on this, the more the merrier. Thanks Rossrs (talk) 09:17, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Children of notables[edit]

So someone feels that to identify what became of notables' kids is somehow not of interest? Unless they notably die of a drug overdose, or alcoholism, or shoot themselves? Well, let it be said here then, that son Ben captains an airplane for Delta, and daughter Kelly renamed herself Pema, as a practicing Buddhist, and teaches in the UK. Thank you.

Death[edit]

Please see Lynn Redgrave has died. RIP. --Morenooso (talk) 15:32, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More detail - Actress Lynn Redgrave has died at age 67. ← ZScarpia 17:08, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Some reports give her deathplace as Connecticut, others say New York. Jim Michael (talk) 17:26, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Obituaries[edit]

They were from reliable sources and were removed from External links without explanation on 14 May. They should be put back in. Jim Michael (talk) 17:04, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

External links should only be added when they have something that cannot be covered by article content or that they do. There was nothing that I could find covered in the addition of 6 extra links that was not already covered in the article. See WP:ELNO. They were unnecessary. We don't just add a long list of newspaper obits because someone dies. What's the point? Wildhartlivie (talk) 00:01, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Caution[edit]

Memphisto has just started to continue his obsession with Lynn Redgrave and John Clark's personal lives for unknown reasons. His edits should be viewed with caution. A glance at Talk:John Clark (actor/director) page will make the reasons clear. He ignores directions in WP:BLP. For example, he has edited in that Lynn's husband fathered a child with her assistant, which carries a possibly libelous inference. The lady was a family friend. After the child was born, she then worked for the family as a nanny and personal assistant at Lynn's request who then took steps to ensure that she and the baby could stay in the US. Uh-oh, I'm wrong. Lynn just died, so he knows he doesn't have to notice WP:BLP. JohnClarknew (talk) 00:31, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Clark, the assistant/nanny, and the child are apparently still alive, so BLP would apply. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 00:44, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that a user has edited Lynn's marriage information with content that is not NPOV. It appears that this user, [[2]] has subscribed for the sole purpose of making these entries. I have changed what she tried to do. Ho-hum. JohnClarknew (talk) 05:39, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I restored it to the version before jodyleethomas had at it :) what you wrote self-references the wiki which is generally avoided --Errant [tmorton166] ^(chat!) 08:43, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, tom. It's comforting to think I have my own watchdog, following my every move. I'm sorry I had to be the one to catch this lady's egregious editing. Perhaps you could watch these 2 articles (mine and Lynn's) to prevent it happening again, so I don't have to. ;) JohnClarknew (talk) 14:14, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have them both on the watchlist - but bear in mind that I also have about 1500 other articles on there :) so quite often I miss stuff as it goes past :) --Errant [tmorton166] ^(chat!) 16:09, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Georgy Girl[edit]

Is it true that she was originally skinny, but had to become obese for performing the part in Georgy Girl? AmericanLeMans (talk) 15:46, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

chemotherapy[edit]

Lynn Redgrave died from chemotherapy, not "breast cancer" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:7:8500:982:8CAD:8BD0:348E:90D4 (talk) 02:27, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That is not what the source says. Can you present a source that states otherwise? Are you saying that she would have lived had she not been trying to stop her breast cancer with the chemo? MarnetteD|Talk 17:36, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article Image[edit]

The image of Redgrave at the top of the article strikes me as a poor choice. There is a vivid shadow across the top of her face, so that the image does not reflect Lynn Redgrave's normal appearance. I came to this article because I came across a mention of Redgrave in another article, and was mainly trying to figure out if I'd ever seen her in anything or if I knew what she looked like. I have very little experience dealing with images for Wikipedia, though. I'm hoping someone else would be interested in trying to find a better, more suitable image. And it probably wouldn't hurt to have one or two additional images in the body of the article; because she had a long career, her appearance presumably changed significantly over time, and a single image wouldn't be representative of that. --DavidK93 (talk) 20:07, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

LEGOT[edit]

I imagine that she must have joked about being the world's only holder of a "LEGOT"--"Lost Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony." Not a bad position to be in when you think about it. Racing Forward (talk) 13:52, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
