They began their relationship in 1993 when they acted together in Anna Christie and developed feelings for each other during their run on Broadway. Neeson was dating her despite being married. The couple got married in 1994. The two kids of the couple, Micheál and Daniel, grew to love each other even more as the years went by.
In 2009, while hitting the slopes, Richardson injured his head and unfortunately he passed away. He decided, with Regan’s doctors, to take her off life support, something they had agreed upon earlier. Micheál chose to become an actor just like his talented mother, many years later. He spent time collaborating with his father and acted in Anchorman 2 and Vox Lux among other movies and TV programs.
He changed his last name to Richardson to honor the memory of his mom. He explained that he kept her close to himself by telling her stories. His father was very pleased by what he did. He acknowledged that the effect on Natasha’s family was what he was proud of. Micheál’s decision gave Neeson comfort because it was like his mother continuing to live through her son.
Today, Micheál is building his reputation in acting by starring in roles that highlight his skills. He always keeps Natasha Richardson’s memory with him by continuing to work as Natasha Richardson Lyne and calling himself Liam Neeson. It proves that a mother and son have a powerful bond and that love and a family’s past can survive anything.
