LYNN REDGRAVE - REDGRAVE GIVEN LATE DAD'S APPROVAL

Actress LYNN REDGRAVE is convinced her late father gave her his blessing to write and perform a play in his honour.

SIR MICHAEL REDGRAVE died in 1985, but the GODS AND MONSTERS actress felt his presence at every performance of SHAKESPEARE FOR MY FATHER on London's West End.

Redgrave says, "I did it on and off for four years and the last performance was at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, which was such a wonderful ending. The ghosts were everywhere.

"I dressed in an upstairs room where my father and LAURENCE OLIVIER had dressed. I felt I had found my father and come to peace with him."
