At the beginning of this week, actress Natasha Richardson was readying to take what turned out to be a fateful trip down the bunny hill at a ski resort in Canada. Now at week's end the Daily News reports that she's "embarked on her final journey." This morning, Richardson's body, in a wooden casket, was transported from Greenwich Village Funeral Home on Bleecker Street, to the American Irish Historical Society on 5th Avenue for a private wake held at 2 p.m. It's been rumored that she will be buried in Millbrook, NY, where the family had a home and Richardson belonged to the St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church. Prior to today's sad goodbye, the Tony award winner's husband, Liam Neeson, went to Broadway last night, where the lights were dimmed in tribute to his wife. The couple fell in love there while co-starring in "Anna Christie" in 1993. Though he came and left alone, reportedly Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, and actor Fisher Stevens were seen with him before he "walked by himself through an alley and drove away."

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

am I the only one who had no idea who she was before like 3 days ago?
yeah
No
nope.
No, i don't know her either but I watched her sister who was the high-maintenance wife in nip/tuck. I do know of her mother who is an activist for human rights.
Yes
Yes, you are the only one.
I first saw her many years ago in Ken Russell's "Gothic" and then in "The Handmaid's Tale" and "Comfort of Strangers".
Maybe she wasn't more famous because she wasn't out there grabbing at everything in sight. Maybe she was satisfied with the life she had and shared with her husband and children. Maybe she saw her mother become a lightning rod in the '70s and chose a different path. Either way, in her roles and in the remembrances of her, a person of immense humanity and kindness shows through and that makes her loss far sadder than that of some very famous people.
agreed. thank you
relax. i wasn't attacking her. i was asking a simple question. sorry i get annoyed when people get all up in arms over a celebrity dying for the same reason as most do -- a million other people died this week too.
agreed. and I used to work in that industry.
when darth vader says someone down here like's you, I'll take notice.
Agreed, all losses are sad but when i see people expressing so much grief for a celebrity that they never met it confuses me.
Yup.
Can we leave them alone now?
BTW: I was replying to NannyState.
Is it kind of ironic that Neeson is a diehard catholic and yet still took her off of life support? remember the vatican and terri schiavo.
So, a couple of you anonymous, blogging twits don't know who she was. And that matters how? Those that do know her will celebrate her life & miss her in death & you can now go back to commenting on poorly written subway signage & hipster trash. Grow up & show a little respect for people. Not every news story deserves your classless attitudes.
