I only ever saw her in one movie and that was The Parent Trap, with Lindsay Lohan and Denis Quaid and I enjoyed both her and the movie a lot. ...Continue »
Natasha's whole family were all bitten by the acting bug and they all managed to make names for themselves as individuals and not rely on their family's fame or fortune to get them somewhere.

Now she's gone and we'll never see her beautiful smile or hear her wonderful voice, with that beautiful British accent, ever again.

Because of her sudden death, it seems unreal to me and I'm sure everyone else too. Another thing is when the parent outlives the child, as is the case with Vanessa Redgrave.

I feel for Natasha's two sons, since while they are teenagers, but are still boys and will not have their mother at a time when they need her the most.

This sad story reminds me of what happened with Princess Diana, except of course there are no rumors floating around about a conspiercy to get rid of Natasha, thank goodness.

Natasha Richardson, may you Rest In Peace.
