British born actress Natasha Richardson, the daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave and
director/producer Tony Richardson and the wife of actor Liam Neeson has sadly died from the head
injuries she sustained after a skiing accident in Canada.

Natasha spent her last few days in a New York hospital, close to the home she shared with Irish
actor Neeson and their two sons Michael 13 and Daniel 12.

The accident happened while the actress was taking a supervised skiing lesson at the Quebec resort.
Richardson initially showed no sign of injury but about an hour later she was taken to a nearby
hospital after feeling unwell. It was later confirmed her injuries were critical.

Her sister is the Nip/Tuck actress Joely Richardson.

She first rose to international stardom with her Tony award-winning performance as Sally Bowles in
the musical play Cabaret on Broadway in New York in 1998 and she starred in over 20 movies including
Maid in Manhattan, The Parent Trap, Nell, Wild Child and Asylum.

Alan Nierob, Neeson's publicist, said: "Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and
devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the
support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."

Film-maker Ken Russell, who directed Richardson in her debut movie Gothic, said she was "always
poised, prepared, focused and very, very bright".

He said Richardson took the decision early in her career to "stand or fall on her own" and left
London to begin her career in Leeds at the West Yorkshire Playhouse. "The world of acting has been
deprived of a great actress, really in her prime.

On stage and screen she was a joy to watch and our thoughts are with your family at the time.

I PRAYED FOR HER

I prayed for her last night
With all my heart,
Hoping for help to start.
Luminous moon saw me there
And caught my hands clasped in his stare.

Though I was among the rest,
On my own I did my best.

I prayed for her this morning
With all my love,
Hoping for help from above.
Golden rays strayed from the sun
Before I knew that she had gone.

Though I was among the rest,
On my own I did my best.

I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY

I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY
AND KNOW GOD MUST HAVE HEARD,
I FELT THE ANSWER IN MY HEART
ALTHOUGH HE SPOKE NO WORD.

I DIDN'T ASK FOR WEALTH OR FAME,
I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T MIND,
I ASKED HIM TO SEND TREASURES
OF A FAR MORE LASTING KIND.

I ASKED THAT HE WOULD BE NEAR YOU
AT THE START OF EACH NEW DAY,
TO GRANT YOU HEALTH AND BLESSINGS
AND FRIENDS TO SHARE YOUR WAY.

I ASKED FOR HAPPINESS FOR YOU
IN ALL THINGS GREAT AND SMALL,
BUT IT WAS FOR HIS LOVING CARE,
I PRAYED FOR MOST OF ALL.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL

LOVE THERESA XX

Sent with love ♥
Why when your so special
Why when your so young
Everybody loved you,
And your life had just begun,

♥⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

Why do we have trouble sleeping,
Have tears on our pillow case
Its because we long to see you
With that smile upon your face,

♥⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

Why did you have to leave us,
Why did we have to part,
The worse day of our life that day,
And it really broke our heart.
