The Sad Irony of Natasha Richardson's Death
 

natasha_richardson10

When you come from a long legacy of actors, a death in the family can be devastating. Not only is your grief put in the spotlight for tabloids and gawkers, but your very career choices hang in the balance. So Liam Neeson has bowed out of the running for the lead role in Unknown White Male, which had an eerie parallel to real life with "a doctor visiting Berlin who suffers an injury that leaves him in a coma."

Meanwhile Natasha's mother, Vanessa Redgrave, has put on hold her plans to do a one-woman show of Year of Magical Thinking: That depressing, brilliant book about the death of Joan Didion's husband and daughter.

Um, Vanessa Redgrave has already done "Year of Magical Thinking." In an obscure, out-of-the-way place called Broadway.

It's amazing when something like this happens. YOu realize that how a catastrophic even has such a rippling effect with so many people and in so many ways. And, if you are famous, it is 10 fold because everyone is on the same page.

@ Chris: Right, and if you clicked the link I placed, you'll see she was planning on reviving the role.

You mean ironic that uber leftist Vanessa Redgrave's daughter was killed by third world socialized medicine?

Although I do respect Redgrave for standing up to Zionists, at the oscars no less.

Yep, that's ironic alright. What did the big lefty's do, rushed her to an American hospital. Same with John Travolta and Kelly Preston. Also, believe it was Madonna, who didn't want to have her baby in socialized medical hospital in England.

I've NEVER understood, why people who have been given so much, by America are the least likely to defend her. Where else, but America would people like Rosie O, Sean Penn, Bruce and Alec Baldwin become rich and famous and be totally ungrateful.

politics aside, Ms. Richardson's death was a tragedy R.I.P.
