Savage Messiah: Ken Russell > Savage Messiah: Ken Russell

Natasha Richardson, star of Russell's 'Gothic' dies.

(1/1)

BoyScoutKevin:
Everytime I think of Natasha's premature death, I can't also but help think of Jade Goody's premature death, as they both died about the same time.

One died in a skiing accident. The other die of cancer.

Both had contact with Ken. Natasha through the film "Gothic." Jade through the television show "Big Brother."

Both left behind a husband.

Both left behind two sons, who were only a year apart in age. Natasha's were 12 and 13. Jade's were 4 and 5.

What I can't see is Ken writing a tribute for Jade, as he did for Natasha.

Iain Fisher:
I agree, Ken's tribute was just what was wanted.  Very thoughtfully written with compassion.

Over the weekend I'll watch Gothic again, a film I always liked, and Richardson was great.

Donald McKinney:
This is such sad news. My thoughts are with her family at this time, and that was a touching tribute from Ken.
