Widower Liam Neeson Beams with Messy Gray Hair near Son & His Girlfriend – At 70 He’s a Supportive Dad
|- Rarely seen, Liam Neeson is all gray-haired at 70 and enjoys time with his son and his girlfriend.
- The “Schindler’s List” actor raised his two sons alone after becoming a widower.
- His younger son Daniel doesn’t follow in his dad’s footsteps, yet Neeson still supports him.
Liam Neeson and his wife, Natasha Richardson, had a beautiful marriage and had welcomed two sons into the world when tragedy struck their family. What was meant to be a fun occasion turned into the family’s last moments with Richardson.
Neeson raised his sons alone after Richardson passed away with the guidance of his mother-in-law. At 70, he is still a loving and supportive father to his two boys and has never remarried, despite his sons finding love.

Neeson and Richardson were raising their sons, Michael and Daniel, together when Richardson passed away at 45. It was March 2009 when Richardson and her son, Michael, were on a ski trip in Quebec, Canada.
The actress fell and hit her head on the beginner’s slope at Mont Tremblant. Richardson was not wearing a helmet when she fell, but she didn’t think anything had gone seriously wrong and even refused medical attention when an ambulance arrived on the scene.

The ski patrol and her ski instructor escorted Richardson back to her hotel room. Neeson was in Toronto filming a movie, and she called him to let him know what had happened, simply saying:
“Oh, darling, I’ve taken a tumble in the snow.”
While she seemed healthy, doctors later said Richardson had experienced a “lucid interval,” which means someone with a severe brain injury can appear normal for a while. Still, there is bleeding in the brain, causing fatal pressure. Richardson’s condition was called an “epidural hematoma.”
