Natasha Richardson...gone! OK, I didn't really follow her career, but she was wonderful in the remake of The Parent Trap. She was scintillatingly bitchy in Maid in Manhattan. And in one of her earlier films, she was the perfect picture of innocence in a strange, new world in The Handmaid's Tale. And, her Tony award winning performance as Sally Ann Bowles in the revival of Cabaret. I am sure she was destined for greater parts and noble gestures in helping those who need help. Her immediate family is probably beyond devastated. Such a loss for her children...there is something about a mother in a child's life. And her husband- no doubt both in love and caring about their children. When one is praying, one often thinks of those in most need of prayer. Rarely do we think about praying for a celebrity. After all, they seem to have it all. I don't know much about Natasha Richardson, but I am sure her love of family was deeply genuine. I like to remind my friends that everyone of us: rich or poor- are created in the imago Dei- the "image of God." The celebrities need our spiritual support as well. I hope Natasha Richardson is in a good place. She didn't seem like one who let fame go to her head.
Thank you, Natasha...thank you from an entertainment fan. Thank you for letting me forget my troubles...for making me laugh, smile, cry.
"She had her moments, she had some style
The best show in town..."
