Natasha Richardson

As the heir to the great Redgrave dynasty, whose representatives in one way or another revolved in the field of big cinema, American actress Natasha Richardson began her film career at the age of four, starring in the film of her late father.

On May 11, 1963, Oscar winner, director Tony Richardson and his wife, actress Vanessa Redgrave, had a daughter who was named after the main character of Leo Tolstoy's novel War and Peace, Natasha. The family lived in the city of eternal rains and fogs - London. When Natasha was four years old, her parents divorced. Shortly thereafter, Richardson made her screen debut: she appeared in an episode of her father's film Attack of the Light Cavalry.

The actress studied at the Central School of Speech and Drama, after which she played at the Bolshoi Theater in Leeds. Natasha's first professional work was the role of Nina in the play by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov "The Seagull". In 1985, the young talent, along with his mother and aunt, actress Lynn Redgrave, played in another Chekhov's play, Three Sisters. The performance was highly appreciated by the audience. The following year, Natasha was awarded the London Theater Critics Prize for Most Promising Debut.

Natasha's film debut took place in 1986, when Ken Russell's action-packed film "Gothic" was released, in which she played Mary Shelley, an English writer, author of the famous novel about Frankenstein, wife of the romantic poet Percy Shelley. In 1993, the actress starred in the remake of Suddenly, Last Summer.

It is worth noting that Richardson succeeded in the roles of the dignified and vigorous inhabitants of rural England, which she played in the chamber psychological drama "A Month in the Country" (1987), where her partners on the set were young Colin Firth and Kenneth Branagh, and in comedy by John Irwin "Widow Mountain" (1993).

In 1988, the filmography of the actress was replenished with a role in the autobiographical film by Paul Schroeder "Patti Hearst". In the tape, Richardson played the daughter of the newspaper tycoon Hirst, who was kidnapped by terrorists in the 70s. The series of serious dramatic films in Natasha's career continued in 1989, when Volker Schlendorf's film "The Handmaid's Tale" was released on the big screens.

In 1991, Richardson starred in After Midnight, where the talented Rutger Hauer became her partner. It is reliably known that the eminent Quentin Tarantino had a hand in the script of this film. In 1998, the American drama "The Parent Trap" was released, in which Natasha got the role of a charming mother.

Her collaboration with Alan Rickman in The Barber of England (2000), where Richardson played the owner of a beauty salon trying to win a hairdressing competition, also became famous. The box office romantic comedy Mistress Maid (2002), in which the actress's partners were Ralph Fiennes and Jennifer Lopez, also fell in love with the audience. The mid-2000s were marked for Natasha by three beautiful paintings: "The White Countess", "Madness" and "Evening".

Throughout her career, Natasha was credited with novels with colleagues in the workshop. True, the paparazzi did not have a single incriminating photograph, so everything remained at the level of gossip, until in 1989 the actress began to meet with English producer Robert Fox. Their relationship developed rapidly, and already in 1990, the beloved got married. The family idyll did not last long: the quickly flared up feelings just as rapidly began to fade away.

Due to the busy work schedule of both, the spouses did not have the opportunity to spend a lot of time with each other, and it was only possible to dream of romantic dinners and joint weekends. It is worth noting that such dreams were given exclusively by Robert. In 1991, during the production of Eugene O'Neill's play Anna Christie, rumors began to spread about Natasha's romance with her partner in the play, Liam Neeson.

Gossip that Richardson, being a married lady, behaves extremely frivolously, spread throughout New York from the first rehearsals. Everyone was surprised, except for the producer. He knew that the actress agreed to play in the production on the condition that Neeson would be her partner. Robert, who for a long time denied the possibility of treason, flew to New York after the premiere of the performance. The lawyer who met Fox at the airport said that his client filed for divorce and did not want to date her ex-husband. So the marriage, which was considered the union of the two largest theatrical dynasties, collapsed. The divorce was officially filed in 1992. The couple did not have time to acquire children.

In 1993, Liam left to shoot Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List. Natasha, like a man possessed, wrote and called her lover several times a day. She understood that such behavior could alienate Neeson, but the feelings that swept the actress headlong dictated their own rules. The only consolation in her separation was that in the near future they were going to work together in the film Nell by Michael Apted.

On the very first day of filming, Liam gave Natasha a wedding ring. The lovers tied the knot in 1994. At a wedding in Northern Ireland, Richardson impressed his wife with her vocal abilities, performing at the party after the celebration a song of her own composition. Subsequently, Neeson learned that Richardson had secretly attended singing lessons for a couple of months.

They lived in a happy marriage until the death of the actress. In this union, Liam and Natasha had two sons - Michael Richard Antonio Neeson (June 22, 1995) and Daniel Jack Neeson (August 27, 1996). Subsequently, Liam will give many interviews, in which he will talk with incredible warmth about his beautiful and tragic love story with Natasha.

In 2009, the news of the 45-year-old actress's untimely death was published in all the leading print media of the world. Fans and loved ones of Richardson could not recover from the shock. As it turned out later, this ridiculous death could be avoided.

In March 2009, Natasha went to the Mont Tremblant ski resort in Quebec. There, while descending the mountain, she received a head injury, which seemed insignificant to her. On the offer of the representatives of the resort to undergo examination in order to make sure that nothing threatens her health, the actress replied with a decisive refusal.

Within a couple of hours she felt bad and fell into a coma. The lead actress in Parenting Trick was taken to Sacre-Coeur Hospital. Two days later, doctors pronounced brain death. Natasha's family decided to disconnect her from the life support apparatus, and also signed a permit for the removal and further organ transplantation to patients in need.

An autopsy carried out after his death showed that the cause of Richardson's death was a cerebral hemorrhage, provoked by an epidural hematoma. According to experts, the lethal outcome would not have happened if Natasha had sought medical help on time.

Richardson was buried in the town of Hudson Valley, located 130 kilometers north of New York, next to her grandmother, who died in 2003. In addition to her mother, husband, younger sister Joely Richardson and the actress's children, 12-year-old Daniel and 13-year-old Michael, celebrities such as Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman, Laura Linney, Uma Thurman and Timothy Dalton attended the funeral ceremony.
