R.I.P. Natasha Richardson~05/11/1963-03/18/2009

NEW YORK (AP) — Tributes have begun to pour in from across the show business generations for Natasha Richardson, the Tony Award-winning actress who died after suffering a head injury on a ski slope. "She was a wonderful woman and actress and treated me like I was her own," said Lindsay Lohan, who as a pre-teen starred with Richardson in a remake of "The Parent Trap" in 1998. "My heart goes out to her family. This is a tragic loss." Richardson, who fell during a private ski lesson at a ski resort in Quebec, was seemingly fine afterward. But about an hour later she complained that she didn't feel well. The 45-year-old actress was hospitalized Tuesday in Montreal and later flown to a hospital in New York. Alan Nierob, the Los Angeles-based publicist for Richardson's husband Liam Neeson, confirmed her death Wednesday without giving details on the cause. Richardson's career highlights included the film "Patty Hearst" and a Tony-winning performance in a stage revival of "Cabaret." Descended from at least three generations of actors, Richardson was a proper Londoner who came to love the noise of New York, an elegant blonde with large, lively eyes, a bright smile and a hearty laugh.
