Stars React to Death of Natasha Richardson

Christie Brinkley, Vanessa Williams, Marlo Thomas, Mark Indelicato, Patrick Wilson, and Dagmara Dominczyk open up to "The Insider" in New York on Thursday night about the death of Natasha Richardson.

"It's so tragic, there's hardly words to describe," Christie Brinkley says. "My heart goes out to her family -- her two young sons, her husband, her mother. She is so vibrant, so lovely, so talented. To have her life snapped away so tragically like that, it's unbelievable."

"She was the same age and she's a mother," Vanessa Williams says about Natasha. "It's devastating. My heart goes out to everyone obviously Vanessa [Redgrave], Liam [Neeson], the children, it's heartbreaking."

The celebs were on hand for the red-carpet, Broadway re-opening of West Side Story, and Broadway paid tribute to Richardson -- a Tony Award winner -- by dimming all of its marquees at 8 p.m. for one minute.

Richardson, 45, passed away on Wednesday after a tragic skiing accident earlier in the week. She was married to Liam Neeson, with whom she had two children.
