Although the actress was married at the time, her romance with the actor began when they starred together in the 1993 Broadway revival of Anna Christie. After her marriage ended, she and the actor wed in 1994 and went on to raise two sons.
From the start, their connection was undeniable. Both spoke about the natural chemistry that fueled their performances onstage. Years later, the actress even acknowledged the actor’s reputation as a ladies’ man, saying, “I’m pleased that women fall in love with him because I know why,” according to Country Living.
Following their marriage, their love only grew stronger. They embraced parenthood with joy, welcoming their first son in 1995 and a second just 18 months later.
But tragedy struck in 2009 when Natasha Richardson suffered a severe head injury while skiing. Although she initially downplayed the fall, her condition deteriorated quickly, and doctors later confirmed she was brain dead.
After giving family and friends time to say goodbye, Liam Neeson made the heartbreaking decision to remove her from life support, honoring a pact they had made together.
Here’s a smooth, normal rewrite of your text:
Their eldest son, Micheál, eventually followed in his mother’s footsteps and pursued a career in acting. He appeared in several films and TV shows, including Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, Vox Lux, Big Dogs, Broken Symphony, and Paradise.
Years later, Micheál made the heartfelt decision to adopt his mother’s last name, Richardson, as a tribute to her.
“It was mainly like a homage to my mother, a way to carry her with me,” he explained to The Times.
The gesture deeply moved his father, who shared, “It was a lovely gesture. Natasha’s family, her mother and sisters, were very touched by it. I’m proud of it.”
Liam Neeson took comfort in Micheál’s choice, feeling that both his son’s name and career continue to honor Natasha’s legacy.
Since then, Micheál has built a name for himself in the film industry, even collaborating with his father on projects like Cold Pursuit and Made in Italy, continuing the family tradition of powerful performances while keeping his mother’s memory close to heart.
