RIP Natasha Richardson (1963-2009)


Tony-award winning actress Natasha Richardson died at the age of 45 due to severe brain injury sustained from a seemingly innocuous fall while taking private ski lessons at a luxury ski resort in Quebec, Canada. Richardson was said to have been fine after the fall, even laughing and joking about the incident. An hour later, she was rushed to the hospital after complaining of not feeling well.

She was survived by husband, actor Liam Neeson, and two sons. Natasha Richardson comes from acting royalty. The daughter of Vanessa Redgrave and director Tony Richardson. She is the sister of Joely Richardson, best known for her role in Nip/Tuck. She also has various uncles and aunts in the acting business.

Richardson has a long list of acting credits, both on film and on stage, to her name. I liked her quite a lot in the remake of The Parent Trap, where she starred with Dennis Quaid and the pre-teen, and not yet-annoying Lindsay Lohan.
