Makes a person realize how precious life really is and how most of us take it for granted. My Thoughts and especially my prayers go out to her family. Special hugs for her two boys. Elizabeth Roy
Liz,
I was hoping the family and doctors would decide to NOT take her off life support. She’s so young and many times even chronic comas, (when the swelling reverses) have emerged to lead a full life. NOt being privy to the exact diagnosis, I can only wish her family the strength to celebrate her life.
Thank you for keeping us posted about this very private and dire situation.
I live next door to Vanessa & Natasha’s family also lives a few blocks away. They were a fixture in the neighborhood walking to dinner or back from the theater (true New Yorkers!) & often saw them walking together in Central Park enjoying the spring.
Such a lovely, normal UWS family. Seeing the vermon papparazzi hanging outside their home last night was nauseating. Here’s wishing the family solace, peace and comfort at such a difficult time. God speed.
What else to say?? Such a beautiful woman lost to her family on this earth, I have had them in my prayers since hearing the story. I too wish them peace, and solace at this time. We can only pray that she is not suffering.
God Bless….
Once again this world is at a loss of a young, beautiful actress. Natasha died way to young, she had so much more to live and give. Her boys and husband are in my prayers. I pray that parents can find solace in the fact she is with the father and is wrapped in his arms. I also pray her boys have nothing but excelent memories of thiere Mum, and hold on to them, it will help give them peace. God bless you Natasha and your family.
God Bless, Deniseann
My heart goes out to Natasha’s family. She was an "original".
In sympathy
A Light went out in the World today.
My heart goes out to the family at their sense of great loss.
I especially ache for her young sons.
A truly beloved and admired public figure completely deserving of the respect and adulation she received. RIP. Wishing peace for her family…knowing how hard that will be to achieve. Terribly heartbreaking.
I have seen several photos of Natasha and Liam together where, they are not just looking straight ahead, at the camera, but they are looking at each other, and with such adoration. And Liam’s arm is usually wrapped around her. He is always holding her. When I look at photos #8 and 12 here, I can’t help but cry.
I remember reading, years ago, an interview with Liam. He and Natasha were dating at the time. Liam had been away filming Schindler’s List. The way I remember it, Liam had forgotten that it was Natasha’s birthday. At the last minute, he sent her a fax. It said something like "You’re catching up with me" (referring to their careers/success). Then it said "Happy Birthday" and he signed it Oskar (his character in the film). Well, Natasha wrote back something like, "Is that what I am to you … just one of your chums?" Liam said that it was then that he realized just how important she was to him. They were married shortly after.
I feel sick for Natasha’s family - her mother, sons, sister, and Liam. What will he do without her.
