Lynn Redgrave on the 2009 Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program at Ten Chimneys

In this video: 2009 Lunt-Fontanne Master Teacher Lynn Redgrave: Personal reflections on the July week at Ten Chimneys; closing segment of the 2009 LFFP Concluding Presentation (a public program where Ms. Redgrave and the Fellows treated a live audience to a behind-the-scenes look at their Master Class process).

(Ten Chimneys, Genesee Depot, Wisconsin) On July 13, 2009, ten of the most respected and talented actors from across the United States formed the inaugural class of the Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program and embarked on a week of intensive study and reflection on the art of acting, led by master teacher and revered Shakespearean actress, Lynn Redgrave.

The Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program is a groundbreaking national program to serve regional theatre actors and the future of American theatre. The program, created by Ten Chimneys Foundation, is a fitting tribute to Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, who are widely regarded as the greatest acting couple in the history of the American theatre. Answering the question, where do our nations acting mentors go to be mentored? the inaugural Lunt-Fontanne Fellows have come to Ten Chimneys to study with Ms. Redgrave and literally walk in the footsteps of the Lunts closest pals and protégés (Helen Hayes, Noël Coward, Alexander Woollcott, Katharine Hepburn, Laurence Olivier, Uta Hagen, Montgomery Clift, Julie Harris, and on and on)

She made a public service message where she said, "I want to die of laughter on my 87th birthday." If only it could have come true.

A great actress and a great person. She will be missed.
