Natasha Richardson (1963-2009): A Life in Posters

Date:

My first thoughts of Natasha Richardson are wrapped up in how much of a spectacle it was to see an adult daughter play alongside legendary actresses in her mother (Vanessa Redgrave) and her aunt (Lynn Redgrave) in James Ivory’ The White Countess. Below, I’ve included some of the pictures she made in the last decade, the actress was splitting her time with the stage as of late. Universal Pictures who have been shifting around with the release date for her last film in the Wild Child will hopefully find a slot for the film this year. For a full capsule on her life I included a link to the New York Times cover story below. 

Ms. Richardson was an intense and absorbing actress who was unafraid of taking on demanding and emotionally raw roles. Classically trained, she was admired on both sides of the Atlantic for upholding the traditions of one of the great acting families of the modern age.
