- Speaking of wrenching, following the sad events leading to the death of Natasha Richardson was so sad.

Months ago Heidi and I happened to be sitting just behind her and Liam Neeson at a performance of Les Liaisons Dangereuses at the Roundabout Theater. They made a couple of small quiet comments during the show. She rested her head on his shoulders several times. I’m sure they felt unwatched (as much as any celebrity in public can be) and were so obviously in love with each other.

The funeral home used for the wake is a block away from____They left at intermission,
my studio. It’s listed as “Greenwich Village Funeral Home,____though they undoubtedly
but they obviously use another name over their front door.___went backstage to see

    That’s a lovely memory to have.
    Both of them have an aura of basic, true, decent humanity-of solidity, and they seemed such a wonderful couple. I’ve been aware of her since she was young and appearing in UK TV productions; her Sally Bowles was one of those performances that I really wished I’d flown into NY to see.

    I’m sure Liam Neeson and her family is in complete shock right now-the clinical kind of shock. It’s such a horrible loss and the only positive aspect is the love and support of their friends of which they have legions, well deserved.

    That was really nice to read, Michael. I’m happy that she and Liam were such a loving couple. I also did a small tribute to Natasha on my blog, as I feel that she had that quality of movie “royalty”, that is missing from much of today’s Hollywood.
