Redgrave was superb in GEORGY GIRL (1966), for which she received one of her two Oscar nominations. James Mason (who also got an Oscar nod for the flick), as the rich, much older toff who employed her parents as domestic servants, matches her great performance...
[SPOILER ALERT]
...as we find out the old fart actually loves her in the end, just from a look by that extraordinary actor, sitting on the steps of his house with Georgy's father, who has just asked "Who would want to marry" his daughter. (Unlike a Hollywood movie, they love is not returned, though they do get hitched!)
London's conservative newspaper, The Telegraph, ran a first rate obituary of Lynn Redgrave.
