From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Rachel Kempson (28 May 1910 - 24 May 2003) was an English actress, best known as the wife of Sir Michael Redgrave and mother of his actor children, Vanessa, Lynn and Corin.

Rachel Kempson was born in Dartmouth, England, and trained at RADA before joining the Royal Shakespeare Company. She married Michael Redgrave in 1935, and appeared with him many times on stage. Although overshadowed by the rest of the family, she appeared many times on film and television, notably in The Captive Heart (1946), Tom Jones (1963), Out of Africa (1985), and the television series, The Jewel in the Crown (1984).

She died of a stroke in 2003, at the home of her granddaughter, Natasha Richardson, in Millbrook, New York, four days before what would have been her 93rd birthday.
