Natasha Richardson (45), a Tony Award-winning actress whose lineage come from bloodlines of theatre loyalty died today in a hospital in NYC, following a skiing accident on Monday north of Montreal. Her mother was Vanessa Redgrave, her father was director Tony Richardson, and her aunt was Lynn Redgrave. Ms Richardson was married to actor Liam Neeson, and the couple had two sons.

My condolences go out to her family.
