Which is of course why her daughter Lily Rabe has been missing Merchant of Venice performances...so sad for that family!

Oh, my. Always so sad. Hopefully she passes with much love and without pain.

She was not your average, ordinary kind of woman.
Brilliant Actress, lovely person.

I enjoyed her performances in "The Rothschilds" & "Pippin" in the early 1970s. Because of her later, impressive career as a dramatic film actress, I don't think many people realized what a wonderful singer she was too. She will be greatly missed.

Tragic. I'm in a production of Pippin right now.

It's so incredibly sad. The Clayburgh/Rabe family is in my thoughts.

Jill Clayburgh in an iconic scene with Alan Bates in An Unmarried Woman.
The movie also featured Kelly Bishop in a brilliant film debut.

My very first week after moving to NYC, I was 19 at the time, I was downtown by myself seeing a matinee at the Sunshine Cinema and it was completely deserted and I had gotten there way too early and I was about to sit down on a bench and I saw Ms. Clayburgh sitting by herself waiting for the theater to open. As I had just moved to New York I wasn't used to seeing theater people in the flesh and I just blurted out "oh my god you're Jill Clayburgh" and told her how much I had enjoyed her performances in the clean house and on the Pippin recording and she was beyond gracious and we had one of the most special, meaningful conversations. I told her that I had just moved to NY to study acting in school and she asked all about where I was staying and gave me tips about the subway. It couldn't have been more than a fifteen minute conversation but I'll never ever forget how incredibly warm and open she was. She was so generous with her thoughts and advice and told me a very funny anecdote about almost missing a performance of Pippin. It's a cherished memory of mine and even more so now. rest in peace to a truly special wonderful lady.
RIP Natasha Richardson. ~You were a light on this earth ~

I know this isn't the best example, but I really loved her performance in "Running With Scissors". Never got the chance to see her in THE CLEAN HOUSE. Thoughts to her family.

Totally shocked here. I had no idea she had leukemia.
A totally unique, talented lady. RIP.

That is sad news. Rest In Peace. Glad that I got to see her on the stage.

I regret not having seen her on stage but she was luminous, funny, unforgettable, in AN UNMARRIED WOMAN. Condolences to her family, and may she truly rest in peace.

I had no idea she was sick. She was such a gifted actress. The film that introduced me to her was "Gable and Lombard" opposite (her then lover) James Brolin.
She was to star with Susan Sarandon in the film version of the Off-Broadway hit, "A Coupla White Chicks Sitting Around Talking" directed by Jack Lemmon for 20th Century-Fox in the early 1980s. It never got made.
