Liam Neeson attends tribute event to Redgrave acting dynasty... and family of late wife Natasha Richardson By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Liam Neeson, 60, attended the American Theater Wing's Annual Gala in New York with the mother and sister of his late wife Natasha Richardson.

Vanessa Redgrave, 75, and 47-year-old daughter Joely Richardson stepped out for the event at the Plaza Hotel on Monday night, which paid tribute to the six generation acting dynasty and their contribution to theatre.


The Taken actor, Natasha, Vanessa and Joely were among the family members honoured, with the long list also including Corin, Michael, Lynn Redgrave and Rachel Kempson.

Joey Richardson looked stunning in a silver dress for the event, while Vanessa opted for an all-in-black outfit.

Executive director of the organisation Heather Hitchens said before the event: 'I don't know of another family with six generations of actors in it.'
