In a touching moment of reflection, Liam Neeson recently paid tribute to his late wife, Natasha Richardson, the woman who profoundly impacted his life. The 73-year-old star, known for his role in the Taken series, opened up in an interview with The New York Times about the moment he fell in love with Natasha. It was during a 1993 Broadway revival of the play Anna Christie that he not only captivated audiences but also discovered his greatest passion. 

"It was great doing it every night with her," Neeson recalled, saying this with a simple statement, "And falling in love." Their connection on stage quickly blossomed into a real-life romance, and just a year later, they were married. Together, they raised two sons, Micheál and Daniel, and enjoyed over 15 years of marriage until Natasha tragically passed away in 2009 at just 45 years old due to a skiing accident.
