Broadway honors Richardson
NEW YORK—Liam Neeson and Vanessa Redgrave were among family members who went to Broadway as theaters dimmed their lights in tribute to Natasha Richardson, the Tony-winning actress who died from bleeding in the skull caused by the fall she took on a ski slope.
The theaters dimmed their lights for one minute at about 8 p. m. Thursday, the traditional starting time for Broadway evening performances. Neeson, Richardson’s husband, and Redgrave, her mother, were among those who gathered at the tribute. Also present were Richardson’s sister, Joely, and actors Matthew Broderick, Sarah Jessica Parker and Ron Rifkin.
Richardson, 45, died Wednesday at Lenox Hill Hospital after falling at the Mont Tremblant resort in Quebec on Monday. The New York City medical examiner’s office ruled Thursday her death was an accident.
