TwitterBroadway's loving tribute to Natasha Richardson
A grieving Liam Neeson was comforted by actress Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick at Thursday night's touching Broadway tribute to his wife, Natasha Richardson.
The "Sex And The City" star was among the luminaries of stage and screen who lined Broadway as theaters dimmed the lights in a minute-long tribute to Neeson's late actress wife, who died Wednesday afternoon of brain bleeding after a skiing accident this week.
Richardson appeared in more than 30 films but was best known for her stage work, winning a Tony Award for her performance in the musical "Cabaret. She was planning to appear with her mother in a Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim's "A Little Night Music."
According to the Daily Mail, Neeson and his wife's family, including her mum, Vanessa Redgrave, watched the moving tribute. At 8 p.m., the lights of New York's Broadway theater district were solemnly dimmed for a minute in her honor.
The family has asked that donations be made to the amfAR foundation for AIDS research, according to Alan Nierob, a family spokesman.
Richardson, whose father died of complications from the disease in 1991, was a longtime supporter of the charity and had served on its board of trustees since 2006.
Sad, sad, sad.

I am fan of both Natasha and Liam. To Liam and his boys I wish peace and love. Natasha was a light that shown bright. We will miss her and pray for you in your time of mourning.
It is terrible to hear of such accidents. Life is life and they do happen. My question is was there a MRI or CAT Scan or other modern diagnostic machine at the hospital? Most hospitals in the states have at least one of them. If one had been used the blood clot would have been detected and the pressure relieved.
This should show all of us that we need to protect our head even when we think that what we are doing is not dangerous.
What a tragedy that such a wonderful mother, wife, and actress has been taken from the earth so soon. I saw a medical special on cable a few months ago about another girl who tore an artery in her neck when she fell on an easy slope, and she later suffered strokes and organ failure over a series of days until the doctors realized what had happened. FYI, I just came across beautiful hand-printed shirts on Etsy that a young NY designer is selling that are a tribute to Natasha: www.coup.etsy.com
This lovely woman is gone, so enough with the speculation and the looking for blame and the knee jerk reaction to make helmets mandatory (skiing has only been around for over 800 years) It is tragic, yes, but I believe you never die before your time, when it's your time, it's your time and there's nothing anyone can do - so let's all please let this family have some peace while they try to put their lives back together without glue. Commenters and the media need to step back, stop waxing judgmental and prying into hugely personal family issues. Condolences? Absolutely. Prying? Absolutely not - show some respect!
The world has lost a great and wonderful actress and her Family and Friends have lost a loving,warm and careing mother,wife, daughter,sister and friend.
We will never forget her!
My thought are with the Family
