"It was one of thoserandom events that leaves you in a state of shock and profound grief….People say, ‘Oh, she can’t really have been that great or graceful.’She was. ‘That funny, charming, sweet and elegant.’ She was. She leftbehind her husband and two stunningly beautiful children and anunfinished mission to help us find a cure for AIDS." Following Stone’s tribute, she pledged $50,000 of her own money to honor Richardson andread a notefrom Richardson’s husband, Liam Neeson, asking everyone to continuewith their great work.

Say what you will about Sharon Stone and her so-called kooky ways, but she is a committed crusader in the fight against HIV/AIDS. And she’s really such a classy broad when the time calls for it.

I loved Natasha Richardson so much as an actress, and she seemed radiantly kind as a person.
Go Sharon. Love her.
That’s wonderful.
