To begin with, Natasha Richardson was the daughter of the actress Vanessa Redgrave and the director Tony Richardson, and so was raised in one of the most famous English actor families. She was educated at two London schools – Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle, and St. Paul’s Girls’ School – then attended the Central School of Speech and Drama in London, and her first stage experience was at the Open Air Theatre in Regent’s Park, where she played the role of Helena opposite Ralph Fiennes in William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Nights Dream”. In 1985 she was Ophelia in a production of “Hamlet” at the Young Vic Theatre in London.
She made her breakthrough in 1985 when she played the role of Nina in Chekhov’s “The Seagull” at the Queen’s Theatre, alongside her mother, Vanessa Redgrave, and Jonathan Pryce. In the 1980s, she also took several television roles, including in the series “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” (1985) as Violet. From 1990 onwards, she played the title role in Eugene O’Neill’s play “Anna Christie” for which she was nominated for Tony Award, and was awarded a Tony and a Drama Desk Award for her role of Sally Bowles in Sam Mendes “Cabaret”. In 1993, she appeared in the re-release of “Anna Christie” with Liam Neeson on Broadway, and in 1994, they were in the film “Nell” together in front of the camera. In the spring of 1999, she returned to Broadway with Patrick Marber’s hit “Closer”, moreover, she landed roles in the plays “The Lady from the Sea” (2003) and “A Streetcar Named Desire” (2005).
