It's so very sad when someone as young and talented as actress Natasha Richardson leaves this world much too soon. I was fortunate enough to see her wonderful performance in Patrick Marber's play,
Closer, on Broadway in 1999, and I also enjoyed her in the films,
The Comfort of Strangers (1990), and
Widows' Peak (1994). But the crowning point of her career was when she won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for the 1998 revival of
Cabaret.
Richardson, 45, was part of one of Britain's most famous acting dynasties--including her mother, Vanessa Redgrave, her aunt, Lynn Redgrave, and her sister, Joely Richardson--whose work on stage and screen I've admired all my life. My thoughts tonight are with her family--especially her husband, actor Liam Neeson, and their two sons.

My heart broke when I heard the news that Natasha died.
It aches for Liam, Vanessa, Lynn and her sons.
My heart goes out to them.
It's a tragedy.
