Expressions of sympathy also notably came from Northern Ireland, where her actor husband Liam Neeson was born.
Actress Dame Judi Dench told the media, "She had an incredibly luminous quality that you seldom see, and a great sense of humor ... I thought she was a really great actress."

US actor Kevin Spacey, who is artistic director of London's Old Vic Theatre, paid tribute to Richardson's "passion, devotion and talent," that she inherited from the famous Redgrave acting family.
Kevin went on saying, "There are no words to express how tragic Natasha Richardson's untimely passing is for the theatre community ... The bloodlines of greatness were always there and she committed herself to every role she tackled.” "All of us at the Old Vic Theatre Company mourn her loss and send our heartfelt wishes to Liam and her family,"
US actress Demi Moore wrote in her blog, "I am sending out prayers for Natasha Richardson and her family. A real reminder of how precious life is and how quickly it can be gone."
In addition, Northern Ireland first minister Peter Robinson and his deputy Martin McGuinness also offered their condolences.
