London, Mar 20 (PTI) Luminaries from the world of cinema and theatre came together to pay tribute to late British actress Natasha Richardson. Broadway dimmed its lights yesterday in honour of Richardson, who died on Wednesday in a New York hospital two days after suffering serious head injury during a beginners' skiing lesson in Canada where she was holidaying with her two children. "The Broadway community is shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic loss of one of our finest young actresses," said Charlotte St Martin, director of the Broadway League.
Dame Judi Dench, who worked with Richardson on a 1987 production of Ibsen's "Ghost", said, 'She had an incredibly luminous quality that you seldom see, and a great sense of humour. She was a really great actress and seemed to simply shine in both film and theatre," she was quoted as saying by Daily Mail. Lindsay Lohan, who played her daughter in the 1998 film "The Parent Trap", said, "She was a wonderful woman and actress, and treated me like I was her own. My heart goes out to her family. This is a tragic loss." Film director Michael Winner said, "She was a wonderful actress and she had not yet fulfilled her possibilities. It's a twinkle and a sparkle that has left the world."
