Biography:The daughter of British actress "Vanessa Redgrave" and director "Tony Richardson", "Natasha Richardson" was named for the heroine in "Leo Tolstoy"'s War and Peace. Richardson made her film bow at age four, playing one of her own mother's bridesmaids in "Charge of the Light Brigade" (1968), which was directed by her father. Trained at the Central School for Speech and Drama, Richardson did her first professional stage work at the Leeds Playhouse in 1983 then went on to specialize in Shakespeare (like virtually everyone else of Redgrave lineage) at the Old Vic. In the company of her mother Vanessa and her Aunt Lynn, Richardson made an excellent impression in a 1985 staging of Chekhov's The Three Sisters; the following year, she won the London Theatre Critics Award for Most Promising Newcomer. The honor was a trifle belated, as Richardson had been acting on stage for three years and costarring in films... Full Biography
