Natasha Richardson


Such sad news with the tragic death at 45 of Natasha Richardson yesterday. A lovely, elegant woman with a rich lineage of movie/stage royalty. She hadn't made a lot of films, but I made a point of watching my favourite tonight in order to do this sketch in tribute to her. This drawing depicts Natasha as she appeared in 1994's "Widows' Peak", a sly little tale set in Ireland, in which she costarred alongside Mia Farrow and Joan Plowright.

Goodnight, sweet Natasha. You'll be fondly remembered....

    Wow!! What a beautiful drawing!! Love your work Pete. I noticed you did not ink it up, just a clean pencil drawing, NICE!!

    Sad news though. I have not seen many of her movies, but seen "Parent Trap" several times, because my daughters loved it. She was adorable in that.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust, from the earth we come and to the earth we shall return.

    Wonderful tribute Mr. Emslie.
