Richardson Lives on Through Donated Organs

Natasha Richardson’s death had the tiniest sliver of a silver lining: Her family donated her organs, the New York Post reports. “Doctors spent six hours harvesting all her organs. Some patient is going to wake up in the recovery room and start reciting Shakespeare,” said a source. But a family spokesperson said: “We have no information on that.”

Meanwhile, Richardson’s mother is returning to work: Vanessa Redgrave has signed on to Ridley Scott’s upcoming Robin Hood film, according to the Hollywood Reporter. She will play Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, mother of King John. Other cast members include Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett.
