Family and friends of Natasha Richardson said their final goodbye to the star of stage and film during a funeral at St. Peter's Church in Millbrook, N.Y., on Sunday.
Under bright sun on a cold spring day, Richardson's husband Liam Neeson, their sons, Micheal, 13, and Daniel, 12, her mother Vanessa Redgrave, her sister Joely Richardson and friends Uma Thurman, Ralph Fiennes and Mia Farrow arrived at St. Peter's Church at 2:30 p.m.
Neeson, looking somber in a dark suit and sunglasses, briefly posed for photographers with his family before walking to the hearse, where he was the first to put his hand on the mahogany casket, which he and six other pallbearers carried to the church.
As nasty storms pound the Midwest, Hollywood has a similar dark cloud resting over its inhabitants. After her tragic and unexpected death, Natasha Richardson was laid to rest by husband Liam Neeson and her family.
Lance Armstrong hit a snag during a race in Spain and suffered an injury because of it. The only bright news on the horizon is the wedding of Wonder Years sweetheart Danica McKellar and the success of Robin Williams' heart surgery.
Farewell to Natasha Richardson:
Surrounded by family and friends, Natasha Richardson was laid in a cemetery in upstate New York. Richardson's husband, actor Liam Neeson, their sons Micheal and Daniel, her mother Vanessa Redgrave and sister Joely Richardson and a multitude of friends from the acting community were present during the funeral at St. Peter's Church in Millbrook, N.Y. on Sunday afternoon. Neeson was one of the pallbearers who carried the casket.
The family kept close together, but waved to reporters and fans who had gathered to watch the somber event. They later gathered for a family portrait for photographers. Richardson was buried near her grandmother, Rachel Redgrave, the mother of Vanessa Redgrave. Neeson joined Redgrave in visiting the grave soon after the service.
