PAL REVEALS THERE WAS ‘NO HOPE’ FOR RICHARDSON IN ONLINE TRIBUTE
Those closest to late actress NATASHA RICHARDSON have revealed there was "no hope" for the late 45-year-old star after she was removed from life support on Wednesday (18Mar09).
On Tuesday (17Mar09) the Brit was flown to New York’s Lenox Hill Hospital from Montreal, Canada, where she suffered an accident while learning to ski.
Concern for her health grew when doctors at a local hospital described her condition as critical.
Her actor husband Liam Neeson stalled film work on his new movie Chloe to be by his wife’s bedside, and he flew with her to New York, where he was joined by Richardson’s mother Vanessa Redgrave and other family members and close friends.
She was removed from life support on Wednesday morning (18Mar09) and died hours later.
Just before the tragic news was confirmed by Richardson’s publicist Alan Nierob, close pal Ted Casablanca reported the family members spent Wednesday afternoon saying their goodbyes to the actress on his Eonline.com blog.
He wrote, "The two-day vigil is over. Close relations to Natasha Richardson tell me there is no hope for the 45-year-old actress." And in a tribute to his friend, the blogger and U.S. TV personality adds, "I’ve known Natasha Richardson so long, I was at her first wedding to producer Robert Fox. Her bridal selection was a creamy, lovely ivory, a pantsuit actually (very classy), with a decolletage down to her navel. Was pretty fun stuff. I’d already become very fond of her, interviewing her extensively for my old gig, Premiere, but that damn nervy wedding look made me love her even more! "It was vintage Natasha: classy yet seductive. Just like she was in The Parent Trap when she lured wayward Dennis Quaid back into her clipped, British seductress ways. Go, Tash! That’s precisely how she was in life.
"And true to the sexy lady’s ways, after marrying Fox, she decided Liam Neeson was the man for her, divorced Robert and started up with the Oscar-nominated stud for a life of interesting domestic love in upstate New York." He reveals "levity" was his friend’s hallmark, adding, "Her equal senses of humour and grace were paramount to her… I can still hear Tash’s self-deprecating, throaty laugh telling me she didn’t even think she was that gorgeous.
"How wrong she was. Bless you, Tash, wherever you are."
