Natasha Richardson

The beautiful and talented Natasha Richardson passed away Wednesday, March 18, 2009 after succumbing to injuries sustained in a skiing accident. A sudden and tragic loss, Ms. Richardson's death will be mourned throughout the film and theatre world. She was theatre royalty, a Redgrave, and while we are saddened by the loss of her life at 45, for those of us who loved watching her, we lament, too, the loss of her future work as an actress and artist. For a lovely article about her life and accomplishments, see the New York Times. She is survived by her two teenaged sons and her husband, Liam Neeson.
