Natasha was 29 at the time, and married to producer Robert Fox. That wasn’t enough to stop the romance from blossoming between her and Liam, though. Her marriage was falling apart, and at the same time, she “fell very much in love” with Liam.
Their chemistry was obvious for everyone present. Luckily for Liam, who was 40 at the time, Natasha’s marriage to Robert was already coming to an end.
When Natasha celebrated her 30th birthday, Liam decided to send her a card from the set of Schindler’s List.
”You’re catching up with me. Lots of love, Oskar.” (Liam played Oskar Schindler in the film.)
But Natasha didn’t find the message as romantic as intended. Instead, she decided it was time to be upfront.
She responded by saying: ”This is like a letter from a buddy. What is our relationship?”
Right then and there, Liam knew he had fallen in love with her.
”That was when I knew I really loved this person,” he said.
”I thought, ‘This is real and genuine and is something that has to be protected.’”
Not long after, in the summer of 1994, the two were married on a farm in upstate New York.
Had two sons together
In 2018, the 63-year-old Taken actor recently appeared on My Favorite Song with John Benjamin Hickey on SiriusXM channel, when he recalled a super sweet moment from his 1994 wedding to Richardson.
Neeson revealed that their wedding song was Van Morrison’s “Crazy Love.”
They had two sons together: Michael born in 1995, followed by Daniel in 1996.
Tragically, Natasha passed away in 2009 at age 45, following a skiing accident in Quebec.
Natasha was taking private skiing lessons in the Mont Tremblant resort when she fell on a beginner’s slope. As Richardson was skiing near Montreal, she fell and took a blow to the head. She was not wearing a helmet.
In the beginning, no one, including Richardson, thought it was severe.
The actress felt okay and against her instructor’s will, she decided to go ahead with her skiing lesson. After a while, the instructor called a ski patrol and wanted medical assistance and an ambulance. But Natalie refused.
However, Natalie and the ski instructor returned to her luxurious Hotel Quintessence room and did checkups to ensure she was okay.
Later, it was revealed that the paramedics who came to the room were turned away. They again recommended she should be seen by a doctor.
Approximately an hour after the incident Mrs. Richardson was not feeling good. An ambulance was called and Mrs. Richardson was brought to the Centre Hospitalier Laurentien in Ste-Agathe and was later trasferred to Hôpital du Sacre-Coeur”.
It turned out that she had suffered serious trauma and it turned out that the impact had left her brain “squashed up against the sided of her skull.”
“I was told she was brain dead. She was on life support and stuff,” Neeson recalled. “And I went in… and told her I loved her. I said, ‘Sweetie, you’re not coming back from this. You’ve banged your head. It’s – I don’t know if you can hear me, but that’s – this is what’s gone down.’”
In the end, Neeson understood that he had to remove her from life support. On 60 Minutes, he explained that the two had “made a pact” that if either one of them got into a “vegetative state,” they were to “pull the plug.”
Natasha passed away on March 18, 2009. But one comforting thing for Neeson was finding her wife’s organ donor status. He said that her heart, liver, and kidneys went to people in need.
For five years following her tragic death, grief-stricken Liam kept silent, finally opening up in a 2014 episode of 60 Minutes.
”I went in to her and I told her I loved her…”
He went on to tell Anderson Cooper that he hadn’t understood the seriousness of Natasha’s accident.
Liam recalled arriving at the hospital. ”She was on life support”, he said.
At the hospital, Liam was shown Natasha’s X-rays.
Doctors told him that his wife was alive, but was considered to be in a vegetative state. She would never recover, according to the medical professionals.
”I’ve taken a tumble in the snow..”
”I spoke to her and she said, “Oh darling. I’ve taken a tumble in the snow.”
‘That’s how she described it.”
It’s heartbreaking to hear him describe their final moments together.
”I went in to her and told her I loved her. Said, ‘Sweetie, you’re not coming back from this. You’ve banged your head. It’s – I don’t know if you can hear me, but that’s – this is what’s gone down. And we’re bringing ya back to New York. All your family and friends will come”, he said.
And five years after she passed away, Liam was understandably still struggling to come to terms with his loss.
In an interview with Loaded magazine, he said: ”Her death was never real. It still kind of isn’t.”
Looking back at their marriage, one of Liam says one of his favorite things about Natasha was her generous and infectious maternal love.
“She cared for everybody,” he said. “She has a motherly instinct. And she’d make dinners for everyone and just looked looked after us all.”
The couple had consented to be organ donors, and Liam saw that promise through after Natasha’s death.
With her passing, Natasha gave life to three people, even though she left three family members behind whose lives would never be the same again.
”Life is very short”
Now, each year, as their wedding anniversary rolls around, Liam remembers the love they shared.
In 2016, Liam shared a message with fans on social media remembering his late wife. He advised everyone to cherish their partners and make the most of each and every day together.
”We have to stop and be thankful for our spouses. Because, life is very short. Spend time with your spouses. Treat them well. Because, one day, when you look up from your phone, they won’t be there anymore. Live and love (every day) like it’s your last. Because, one day, it will be. Take chances and go live life. Tell the ones you love, that you love them every day.”
Liam could not underline enough that people should not take any moment for granted. “Life is worth living,” he said.
Very true, Liam. Very true indeed.
What beautiful memories he has to cling to, and wonderful life instructions for the rest of us to remember and guide us through our own lives!
What happened to the girl who took first place in nearly 300 beauty pageants? She is now 17 years old.
Everyone in the world adored this young girl’s attractiveness. Few people are aware that another life was concealed beneath this enormous achievement, though. This woman’s attractiveness has fallen prey to parental ego. She gave the child’s mind and health in exchange for millions of money.
Eden was raised as both a source of mother affection and a way to increase his fortune. Everyone noted the baby’s remarkable beauty when she was just four months old. The mother made it her mission to make her child renowned around the world, and she made every effort to carry out her vision.
The little child made her debut appearance on a TV program shortly after turning one. Her beauty absolutely awed every TV watcher. It was immediately apparent that the mother had gone to considerable lengths to construct a persona for her child. He brought his daughter to the solarium where she experimented on clothing, hair, and makeup. In order to give the spectator the impression of a living doll, this was done. Her mother’s wish for her to secure a lucrative deal started to come true as soon as she made her debut on television.
Everyone loved her, and it’s astonishing that despite her youth, she handled all the pressures of public life. Nobody at the time could have imagined how challenging it was for her.
At the height of the girl’s fame, many cautioned the mother that the baby’s health would be harmed by the girl’s regular use of the solarium and her weight in cosmetics. The woman, however, would not listen.
Eden had to sleep occasionally since he was always going to auditions and performing in performances. Energy drinks and lots of coffee are helpful under these circumstances. By the way, mothers whose kids competed in beauty pageants favored these drinks. They were willing to make any sacrifice.
Our protagonist definitively stopped taking part in auditions and performances when she was six years old. The mom was obliged to accept her daughter’s decision after a brief argument between mother and daughter. After then, they periodically made public appearances but lost their prior level of fame. A book on the subject was written by a woman, and it garnered mixed reviews.
He charged the mother of the kid with ruining her daughter’s childhood and compromising her health. The author claims to have witnessed the mother’s repeated cruelty and occasionally unpleasant behavior toward the girl.
The girl was reportedly always on a diet, according to the author. The girl’s health suffered as a result, but the mother showed little concern.
Eden has reached the age of 17. She once experienced childhood as an ordinary child, free from a barrage of photographs and contests. She no longer has aspirations of competing in beauty pageants, although she still enjoys posing for photos occasionally.
Eden Wood excelled in her academics, enjoyed taking part in school-sponsored amateur productions, and is a talented singer and drummer. Eden’s participation in the teen television series was also made public.
Eden Wood was able to forget the difficulties she had as a youngster. She went back to his specialty as an adolescent.
