Their love began under the hot lights of Broadway and ended in a hospital room no one was ready to leave. A married star.
A dangerous attraction. A choice that changed everything. Years later, their son made a decision
that stunned Hollywood and shattered his father’s heart all over agai… Continues…
They met in 1993 on Broadway’s Anna Christie, where the chemistry between
Natasha Richardson and Liam Neeson was so electric it leapt off the stage.
She was married, he was already known as a ladies’ man, and everyone around them could see what was happening.
Her first marriage eventually ended, and in 1994 she and Neeson married,
building a passionate, closely bonded family and welcoming two sons in quick succession.
In 2009, everything broke. A minor-looking skiing fall turned into a nightmare
as Natasha’s condition rapidly deteriorated. Faced with the impossible,
Neeson honored a promise they had made: if there was no hope, they would let each other go.
He turned off the life support after family and friends said goodbye. Years later,
their elder son Micheál quietly took his mother’s last name,
Richardson, a tribute that moved Neeson deeply.
Through his name and career, he keeps Natasha’s memory fiercely alive.
