Liam Neeson, Vanessa Redgrave and other members of Natasha Richardson's family gathered on Broadway in New York City Thursday evening, where theaters in the historic district dimmed their lights in tribute to the actress, who died Wednesday.

The theaters dimmed their lights for one minute at about 8 p.m. Thursday, the traditional starting time for Broadway evening performances. Neeson, Richardson's husband, and Redgrave, her mother, were among those who gathered at the tribute. Also present were Richardson's sister, Joely, and actors Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker.


Following Thursday night's Broadway tribute, Richardson's family held a wake for the late actress on Friday in New York.

In attendance were Richardson's husband Liam Neeson, their two sons, her mother Vanessa Redgrave, and her sister Joely Richardson.

Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.

My thoughts are with the family.  There is never a good time but the week before Mother's Day is even more traumatic.  God bless you all and my prayers are with you at this incredibly said time.

My thoughts are with the family.  There is never a good time, but the week before MOTHERS DAY is even more traumatic.  My thoughts, and those of my son, are with you all.  God bless - there must be a reason - but I don't understand!!  XXXX
