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.

tragic
Brings back so many dark days, of when my son, banged his head, and got up and went to a friends, He never woke up from his nights sleep, The family are having the worst time of there life right now, and my heart goes out, to another young life taken
True Blue
Natasha Richardson and her husband Liam Neeson personified a lovely marriage-and seemed to be so in tune with their sons ( my 2 sons have the same names-born before theirs) and were in that elite group of true families despite their fame-like Will and Jada, who truly care for each other. It is sad to see that partnership severed, but I hope and pray the warm memories they gathered will sustain Mr. Neeson and his boys. Prayers go out to you at this time-W. Allen
So Sorry
We were very saddened to her about the loss of Natasha.
Our hearts go out to her husband Liam and two boys especialy, as well as her Mum, sister and the rest of her family.
My sisters were similar ages to her sons when we lost our Mother and my heart aches for the boys at this time and for the coming months.
Thinking and praying for you all. Wishing you Comfort & Peace for the future.
"Sometimes it is not about finding the answers. Sometimes it is learning to live with the questions."
God bless you all.
