Liam Neeson finally speaks out about Natasha Richardson’s death…two years after the fact. He hasn’t said anything publicly about the devastating ski injury Natasha got back in 2009, until he sat down to speak with Esquire.
Liam was still not really wanting to talk about his wife’s death. But he did and then he even went in-depth about almost not making it in to see her.
“I walked into the emergency — it’s like seventy, eighty people, broken arms, black eyes, all that — and for the first time in years, nobody recognizes me. Not the nurses. The patients. No one. And I’ve come all this way, and they won’t let me see her. And I’m looking past them, starting to push — I’m like, F*&^, I know my wife’s back there someplace. I pull out a cell phone — and a security guard comes up, starts saying, ‘Sorry, sir, you can’t use that in here,’ and I’m about to ask him if he knew me, when he disappears to answer a phone call or something. So I went outside. It’s freezing cold, and I thought, What am I gonna do? How am I going to get past the security?
“And I see two nurses, ladies, having a cigarette. I walk up, and luckily one of them recognizes me. And I’ll tell you, I was so f&^&^ grateful — for the first time in I don’t know how long — to be recognized. And this one, she says, ‘Go in that back door there.’ She points me to it. ‘Make a left. She’s in a room there.’ So I get there, just in time. And all these young doctors, who look all of eighteen years of age, they tell me the worst.” He purses his lips, mouth dry. “The worst.”
That’s so sad, that he almost didn’t get to see her before she died. And you can tell how much he loved her, with it being so hard to talk about two years later still.
