After Broadway dimmed the marquee lights last night to pay tribute to film and stage star Natasha Richardson, actor Liam Neeson held a wake for his late wife today in New York, reports People.com. Uma Thurman, Diane Sawyer, and Richardson’s mother, Vanessa Redgrave, were among those attending the private viewing of Richardson’s body at the American IrishHistorical Society on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Richardson, 45, died Wednesday from a brain injury she sustained in a freak skiing accident on Monday.
