Natasha Richardson was beloved Broadway star

Natasha Richardson leaves behind a legacy of performances from film and television dating back a quarter of a century. However, it was on the stage that this star truly shone. And Broadway will pay the ultimate tribute to Richardson tonight when the lights of all the theaters along the rialto are dimmed for one minute at curtain time.

For her 1986 stage debut opposite her mother, Vanessa Redgrave, in Chekov ’s “The Seagull,” Natasha Richardson won the London Drama Critics’ Circle award as most promising newcomer at age 23. And for her 1993 Broadway debut in the third rialto revival of Eugene O’Neill’s “Anna Christie,” she won the equivalent award from Theatre World.

Natasha Richardson was the first actress to be nominated for a Drama Desk award for playing that title role. She lost that race to Jane Alexander for “The Sisters Rosensweig.” And like Liv Ullmann, star of the second revival of “Anna Christie” in 1977,  Richardson was also nominated for a Tony Award as lead actress in a play. That category pitted niece against aunt, as Lynn Redgrave was nominated for her tribute to Richardson’s grandfather, Sir Michael Redgrave, in “Shakespeare for My Father.” They and Alexander lost to the latter’s costar Madeline Kahn.
