A Shocking Passing...

Not only was Natasha Richardson a great actor, a Tony-winning actor, from one of the most respected acting family dynasties.. she was also a loving mother and wife, a dutiful daughter, and a classy person. Now, my experience with her was limited. I can only speak of the times I've spent on red carpets with her or in interview situations, but in just that short amount of time, the glimpses of greatness were evident.

Her passing took us all by surprise. We were all surprised by how we reacted to it. Why? Because it could have been any one of us who took a slight tumble. Not just on a beginner slope. Anywhere. We could all relate. We are all consumed by the shocking sadness of the situation.

May her husband Liam, her two boys, her mother Vanessa Redgrave, aunt Lynn Redgrave, and the rest of her grieving family, find solace and peace in knowing that in a very short number of years -- only 45 -- Natasha Richardson left her mark... on stage, on film, on television, but most importantly, with her family. May she rest in peace.
