In her name: Lynn Redgrave, seen here with Vanessa in 2010, perished at age 67 of breast cancer in 2010

And Vanessa Redgrave paid loving tribute to her younger sister by heading up the commemorative gala renaming 45 Bleecker Street - the Lynn Redgrave Theatre.

The 76-year-old actress donned a grey dressing-gown over matching trousers and black loafers for the Culture Project Gala at Stage 48 in New York on Monday.

The Atonement star is still the only British actress ever to win an Oscar, Emmy, Tony, Cannes, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild award. 

Vanessa was joined at the touching tribute by Kyra Sedgwick and husband Kevin Bacon as well as Trudie Styler.

'Lynn was a professional inspiration,' said the soiree's host Kyra, according to Broadway World.

'So to be opening a theater named for her and reflective of her wonderful ability to make a difference in people's lives through performance, is a touching and humbling privilege.'

Kevin Bacon, James Purefoy discuss 'The Following' THE FOLLOWINGJANUARY 6, 2013BY: DAWN JONES (EXAMINER)

"The Following," Fox's new highly anticipated psychological thriller is set to premier Jan 21. The show features Kevin Bacon as an FBI agent tracking James Purefoy's serial killer while finding himself in the center of a network of killers that have come together via the Internet and are set to do the bidding of their leader. Bacon, Purefoy and the shows producer Kevin Reilly sat down to discuss the adrenaline fueled show (LATimes, Jan 6)

"The Following" is Bacon's first full time television role. The actor confessed to being a movie snob and that taking a role on television was the end of an actors career. Watching his wife (Kyra Sedgwick) success on TV helped change his mind. Once he decided to make the jump he still didn't think he would end up on network TV saying "OK, I'll look, but only on Showtime and HBO"

The Emmy nominated actor is no longer a "network snob" is pretty excited about his new role and feels that it will be a hit.

"I think it's going to make a splash. I have a lot of ambitions for this show and I'd like it to be a hit commercially, I'd like it to bring home some trophies — and I'm pretty confident that it will."
