Liam Neeson and Vanessa Redgrave gathered to watch New York City's Broadway lights dim for Natasha Richardson , who died Wednesday after a tragic skiing accident.

Joined by actor friends Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick during the touching tribute, Neeson shielded his eyes under a baseball cap, the London Telegraph reports.

Look back at touching photos of Natasha Richardson through the years.

The New York City Medical Examiner told Usmagazine.com Thursday Richardson, 45, died from a "blunt impact to the head" after the Monday tumble near Montreal. Her family released a statement Wednesday saying they were "shocked and devastated."

On Thursday, her uncle Corin Redgrave said he hoped she would be remembered as a "wonderful, very glamorous person and a very beautiful person."

Broadway star Patrick Wilson told Us Richardson was "a fantastic talent" at the revival of West Side Story Thursday night.

Although Richardson starred in movies -- and wed her husband after Nell -- she was acclaimed for her theater work, and won a Tony after appearing as Sally Bowles in Cabaret.

Said In The Heights actor Lin Manuel Miranda: "It's a tragic loss...I was a huge fan of her work. So it's just really unbelievably sad. I wanted to see her next thing."

Kathleen Turner told Us, "I'm just heartsick.

"I loved her. We knew each other, we liked each other. I admired her work, she admired mine. I thought she was a terrific person. It's just shocking."

    A lot of celebrities have suffered tragedy, put out there for the world to see; I'm not sure why this one affected me so much. Condolences to Mr. Neeson, his sons, and the Redgrave family. I hope her love and your memories sustain you. I only saw one of her movies; didn't even know the name at first... If she was as beautiful inside as she was out, you're all truly lucky sh

    We never know when we get up in the morning what the day will hold for us - that is why we need to live in the moment and not dwell on the past or anticipate the future. It will take much time for her family to get past losing her in such a tragic way. God rest her soul!

    Liam and Family, My heart is so sad for your great unexpected loss. She was a beautiful person. Out of all the actresses I've seen she totally stands out. Very classy lady and I will be praying for you all, in the days and months & years to come, for continued strength and courage to face each day. Carolyn Gomes

    I feel really sad for Liam. Losing someone that you were really close to makes you feel like you can't go on. I hope that he will be able to move on. She would not want him to dwell on it for too long.
