These two stars fell in love while working together on Broadway in 1993 during Anna Christie. Although one of them was married at the time, their connection was undeniable. Eventually, her marriage ended, and she married actor Liam Neeson in 1994. The couple went on to have two sons together.
From the beginning, their bond was clear both on and off the stage. Their chemistry was impossible to ignore, and years later, Natasha Richardson spoke openly about her husband’s charm, telling Country Living, “I’m glad that women fall in love with him because I know why.”
Their happiness grew as they welcomed their first son in 1995, followed by their second just 18 months later. Tragically, Natasha’s life was cut short in 2009 after a skiing accident. What initially seemed minor quickly turned serious, and she was later declared brain dead. Honoring a promise they had made, Neeson made the heartbreaking decision to remove life support after loved ones said goodbye.
Their eldest son, Micheál, later followed in his parents’ footsteps and became an actor, appearing in films such as Anchorman 2, Vox Lux, and Made in Italy. Years later, he chose to take his mother’s last name, Richardson, as a tribute to her memory. Neeson supported his son’s decision, finding comfort in knowing that Natasha’s name and legacy live on through Micheál’s work.
