Natasha Richardson part of legendary acting family

Natasha Richardson, who is hospitalized in New York following a Quebec ski accident Monday, comes from an illustrious British acting family — one whose name she’s often found a challenge. Richardson, the daughter of Oscar-winning actress Vanessa Redgrave and the late director Tony Richardson (“Look Back in Anger,” “Tom Jones”), has said, more than once, that she found it difficult to live up to the family reputation. “The names Richardson or Redgrave didn’t help,” she told About.com’s Rebecca Murray in 2007.
