Broadway dims lights to honor Natasha Richardson


Broadway dimmed its lights Thursday night to honor actress Natasha Richardson, who died after suffering a brain injury while skiing at a Canadian resort.

Her husband, actor Liam Neeson, mother, Vanessa Redgrave, and sister, Joely Richardson, were present as theaters dimmed their marquees.

Mourners tearfully embraced in the dark as the lights went off for one minute at 8 p.m. Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick and Mark Ruffalo were among the many Broadway luminaries to reach up to hug Neeson.

Richardson won a Tony for her performance as Sally Bowles in the 1998 revival of "Cabaret" and earned rave reviews for her role as Blanche DuBois in a 2005 production of "A Streetcar Named Desire."
