My Take
I have always thought Natasha Richardson was the quietly extraordinary member of an extraordinary family. Born into the Redgrave dynasty, she could have coasted on the name, yet her Tony-winning Sally Bowles in Cabaret was entirely her own creation: fragile, funny, and devastating at once. To me she was fundamentally a stage animal, an actress whose intelligence read best in a live room. Her death in 2009 at forty-five remains one of the cruelest losses in modern theatre; we were robbed of her great middle period. Whenever Liam Neeson speaks of her, I am reminded how much warmth she carried offstage too.
