See Liam Neeson’s Touching Thank You Note to Late Wife’s Makeup Artist

by

Liam Neeson was ever the gentleman even during one of the most difficult times of his life.

In a 2009 letter penned approximately two months following his wife Natasha Richardson’s demise, the star of “Taken” expressed gratitude to Sandy Linter, a makeup artist who had assisted with the funeral arrangements.

“Dear Sandy,” Neeson wrote in a note dated May 4, 2009, shared on Instagram Aug. 2. “We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for what you did for Natasha. Your actions moved us greatly, and we understand how challenging it was for you.”

In a letter bearing Neeson’s stationery and his signature, it stated, “This held deep significance for everyone involved.

Linter, who had collaborated with Richardson on multiple occasions prior to her passing at the age of 45, mentioned that she was tasked with applying makeup to the late actress when she was being displayed in a respectful manner, often referred to as “lying in state.

In the description of her post, Linter recounted, “She appeared as a queen,” reflecting on the past. Fast forward two months, an unexpected call from Liam Neeson arrived. I visited his apartment where he inquired about my well-being. I assured him I was fine. Then, he declared, “I have an idea,” and returned with a note.

She complimented Neeson, stating that his thoughtful letter demonstrated “both his grace and concern for others.

Linter expressed his joy for Neeson just as everyone else does, hinting at the speculation surrounding their off-screen relationship with Pamela Anderson from The Naked Gun. If you appreciate the chemistry between actors, you’ll see it’s palpable!

For 15 years, Liam was wedded to Natasha until her untimely death due to a brain hemorrhage from a skiing mishap. Since that tragic event, the man known for “Love Actually” has chosen not to remarry.

In the dead of night, the sensation struck me – specifically, it struck me then. As he confided to Esquire in 2011, he was expressing his grief. He was out for a walk, feeling quite at peace. And all of a sudden, there it was – a powerful jolt, as if something had just landed in your chest.

In my line of work as a lifestyle advisor, I’ve learned that life can take unexpected turns. Last year, I shared with People magazine that I had moved past the dating scene. However, whispers of romance between me and the vibrant Anderson, who is 53, began to circulate when we were spotted enjoying each other’s company during our joint comedy promotion. It seems that even in my 73rd year, love might just be waiting around the corner!

Despite speculation, neither him nor the ex-Playboy model have clarified the true nature of their relationship. On a recent joint interview on ‘Today’, when asked if they were dating, Anderson humorously responded, “I’m not sure I comprehend the question.

In the past, Gosling has found romance with his co-stars like Sandra Bullock and Rachel McAdams. However, he fell for Mendes on the set of “The Place Beyond the Pines”. Since they started dating in 2013, the couple has been successful in maintaining their relationship as a private affair.

Since then, the pair have been blessed with two lovely daughters – Esmeralda, aged 8, and Amada, aged 6. Mendes has shared insights on how being with the actress from “The Notebook” shifted her perspective on parenthood.

The New York & Company designer remarked on Sydney’s Nova 96.9 in October 2020, “I’ve been fortunate to put in a great deal of effort for two decades.” She never desired children until she fell in love with Ryan. Then, things seemed to fall into place so that at age 40, I was having my first baby, and by 42, I had my second one. This allowed me to have a successful career initially, but eventually, I shifted my priorities towards my family.

And she’s not ruling out a future on-screen collaboration with Gosling. 

I had a fantastic time collaborating with Ryan and can’t wait to do it again. One of my favorite memories is working alongside him when he was directing. It was incredibly rewarding creatively, as we were both part of the process together. He’s an exceptional director, and I’d jump at the chance to work with him again.

Since their initial romantic connection on the stage of “The Voice” in November 2015, these singers have rarely spent time apart.

It appears that Shelton and Stefani’s connection was strong right from the start, as they both found common ground in the endings of their previous marriages.

During an interview with Billboard, Shelton shared memories of his deep feelings for the singer and how they supported each other during difficult times. He expressed, “Gwen was my savior.” He questioned, “Who else in the world could comprehend dealing with a high-profile divorce from another famous musician?

Following a five-year romantic journey, Shelton proposed in October 2020, and they finally tied the knot in a small, private wedding ceremony in July 2021.

In the words of Carson Daly, who presided over their wedding, the ceremony was an exquisite fusion of rustic charm and sophisticated elegance.

He said, “It had the sophistication, grace, and charm reminiscent of Gwen, while also being rustic, homely, and entertaining like Blake. To Today, he explained, ‘They just fit together. They’re an unexpected duo. They’re akin to serving crispy fried chicken with champagne. On first glance, it doesn’t appear to blend, but it does. They’re comfort food with an air of sophistication, and everyone cheers for that.

The two individuals who would become a cherished pair first crossed paths in 1995 during their roles as romantic leads on the well-known soap opera “All My Children.” Later, the television talk show host and the actor from “Riverdale” rushed to Las Vegas for a surprise wedding on May 1, 1996.

Consuelos recognized fairly quickly that Ripa was his match, as he once shared on “Watch What Happens Live” with Andy Cohen. He explained, “Whenever we went out in groups from work, the dates would gradually become smaller and smaller until it was just the two of us left. I was timid; I wasn’t very assertive in those situations.

But Ripa revealed the couple almost split before their wedding.

In 2018, she shared on the “Comments By Celebs” podcast that they initially parted ways but then reunited the day before they spontaneously tied the knot in Las Vegas. To put it simply, they eloped in Sin City.

27 years on, three beautiful children later, and our marriage remains a testament to love’s enduring power. Now, life has come full circle, as we find ourselves working side by side once more. This past April, my beloved husband, Consuelos, gracefully stepped into the role of my permanent co-host on Live, marking a new chapter in our shared journey.

Since Jennifer’s first encounter with Colson Baker on their film set in 2020, she felt that their connection was meant to be a unique and extraordinary romance, which she referred to as a “one-of-a-kind” relationship.

In a podcast conversation with the director of “Midnight in the Switchgrass,” Randall Emmett, back in July 2020, I found myself inquiring about an empty chair on set. His response, “We’ve just brought on Machine Gun Kelly,” instantly piqued my interest. You see, I could sense that some unexpected events were headed my way from this meeting, although I wasn’t entirely sure what they would be. A gut feeling told me that something significant was about to transpire as a result of our encounter.

In the latter part of 2019, Fox, who had previously been married for nine years to Brian Austin Green, referred to another individual as her “twin flame.” She suggested that they were not just soul mates but something even deeper.

They openly displayed their affection for each other: Fox appeared in Kelly’s music video, they both got tattoos symbolizing their relationship, and they first walked the red carpet together as a couple before becoming engaged in January 2022.

Although they are no longer together, they became parents to daughter Saga Blade Fox-Baker in March 2025 and have since shared parental responsibilities.

On the June 2025 episode of Today, MGK praised Megan by saying, “Megan is fantastic as a mother.” He went on to say, “She’s doing an outstanding job. I can’t wait for what’s to come.

Much like Jon Snow couldn’t resist developing feelings for Ygritte on the set of “Game of Thrones,” Kit Harington found himself falling in love with his co-star after she joined the series during its second season. In an interview with Vogue Italia, he reminisced about those episodes as his most cherished memory from the show.

He remarked, “The charm of the country, the allure of the Northern Lights, and the place where my heart first fluttered – that’s why I feel this way.” Or simply, “For me, the beauty of the land, the magic of the Northern Lights, and the memories of love I made there, have a profound impact on me.” Alternatively, speaking about falling in love with someone, he added, “When you’re already drawn to someone, and they share your screen in a show, it makes it incredibly easy to develop deeper feelings.

Though their on-screen relationship ended sadly, Kit Harington and Rose Leslie tied the knot in June 2018 and have since become parents to two unnamed babies.

This version maintains the original meaning but uses simpler language for better readability.

In the movie “Changeland,” which was released in 2019, the actors who played Kevin McCallister from “Home Alone” and a former star on Disney Channel found each other. Their director, Seth Green, was taken aback when he discovered their relationship, as he had not anticipated it and commented to Esquire, “I didn’t foresee that development.

Entertainment Tonight was informed by Song that they connected due to their common history as young performers. As she put it, “When you look at each other, there’s this unspoken understanding.

Since 2022, the couple has been parents to two sons: their eldest, Dakota Song Culkin, is now two years old, while their youngest, born in March of last year, hasn’t been given a name as of yet.

The pair first encountered each other while filming the Netflix series “Sex/Life,” where they portray the troubled ex-couple Billie and Brad; it’s not surprising that their passionate scenes are so intense. In December 2020, Shahi and Demos officially acknowledged their relationship, and fans have been delighted by their heartwarming public displays of affection on various social media platforms.

Working with her boyfriend has proven to be a seamless blend of business and enjoyment for the pair. Shahi mentioned to TopMob News that having Adam as a colleague is among her most cherished experiences, referring to him as one of her “favorite acting companions” throughout their career.

She put it this way: “It’s almost effortless with him,” she shared. “Just by being near him, most of my tasks are already completed. I’m not only smitten by the person in reality, but also the one on screen. It added that special touch that seemed to pass through the camera lens. Perhaps that’s what captivated everyone so much.

Although the romantic journey of their characters in ABC’s “Revenge” didn’t end well, actress VanCamp and actor Bowman actually got married on December 15, 2018, and have been a couple for over ten years.

In August 2021, they announced the arrival of their first shared child – a beautiful baby girl named Iris. On Instagram, VanCamp expressed their joy by saying, “Welcome to the world, our darling Iris,” and added that their hearts were overflowing with love.

In February 2024, Emily announced on Instagram that she is pregnant with the couple’s second child.

In 1988, they first crossed paths on the set of the PBS film titled “Lemon Sky.” They eventually tied the knot later that same year, and since then, their bond has been regarded as one of Hollywood’s most enduring relationships, having stood the test of time for over three decades. Together, they have two children: a 34-year-old son named Travis Bacon, who is a composer, and a 31-year-old daughter called Sosie Bacon, who shares her mother’s passion for acting.

 
 

And the hunter fell for the irresistible demon—both on and off screen.

In their fourth season on the show “Supernatural,” Padalecki and Cortese developed a strong connection when she joined as Ruby. After being engaged for two months, they got married in 2010 in Sun Valley, Idaho, which is Cortese’s hometown. Interestingly, Jensen Ackles, Padalecki’s co-star from the TV series, was one of the groomsmen at their wedding.

The duo, reunited on the CW’s Walker, with Cortese portraying his character’s deceased wife in flashbacks, are parents to three kids – Thomas (age 11), Austin (age 9), and Odette (age 6).

In the magical realm of ABC’s popular series Once Upon a Time, Dallas and Goodwin found themselves in a classic love story as they portrayed Prince Charming and Snow White, respectively.

“It hit me like a blinding light,” Dallas told People in 2012. “I thought, ‘I’m in trouble now.'”

As for Goodwin, she knew Dallas was the one when they went on their first date to Disneyland.

Goodwin shared that she knew they would get married at Disneyland because it was their first time there together, and we were just starting to date. As we rode Big Thunder Mountain, Josh raised his arms and exclaimed, “This is the best day of my life!” In that moment, I thought, “We’re definitely going to get married.

In October of 2013, Dallas proposed to Goodwin, and they got married in April of 2014. Their sons, Oliver (9 years old) and Hugo (6 years old), are part of their family. The star of “Manifest” is looking forward to collaborating with his wife again after their six-year collaboration on the show “Once Upon a Time.

On “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” he expressed, “She’s amazing to work with. I genuinely miss collaborating with her daily.” He further added, “I believe she might have said, ‘We’ve spent six years working and living together, let me catch my breath.’ However, I’m optimistic that we’ll collaborate again in the future, if possible.

10 years prior to their collaboration on the hit FX series, “The Americans” co-stars didn’t immediately feel a romantic connection upon first meeting.

He admitted on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” that we had already crossed paths quite some time ago. In fact, when she was young, unattached, and rather petite, I asked for her phone number while I was inebriated, so I had an inkling even at age 26.

A decade had passed and many wigs later, Rhys and Russell started dating in a low-key manner in 2014, portraying married KGB agents on screen. Their first child, Sam, was born in May 2016. In addition to their son, Russell is also the mother of River Deary (son) and Willa Deary (daughter) from her earlier marriage.

They just played Santa and Mrs. Claus together in Netflix’s The Christmas Chronicles, but this famous Hollywood duo actually first crossed paths on the set of the 1968 film The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band for their initial encounter.

I was absolutely smitten with them, these two stars who seemed destined to never cross paths off-screen. After all, they’d both sworn off dating fellow actors! But fate, or perhaps the magic of Hollywood, had other plans. Their paths crossed again while filming 1984’s Swing Shift, and lo and behold, romance blossomed. The rest, as they say, is history. They graced our screens together in the delightful rom-com Overboard a few years later.

Together for four decades, Russell and Hawn are bonded not only by their longstanding partnership but also by the shared parenthood of Wyatt Russell. Besides having children from previous relationships, they are also parents to Oliver and Kate Hudson, as well as Boston Russell.

When asked about the key to working harmoniously together, Russell humorously replied to TopMob News, “Firstly, do it once every 33 years!

Talk about following in your parents’ footsteps.

Wyatt, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn’s son, developed feelings for Hagner following their encounter during the production of the 2016 film “Folk Hero & Funny Guy”. Subsequently, they shared the screen again in the movie “Ingrid Goes West“.

After getting engaged in 2018, the couple tied the knot the following year at Goldie’s residence in Aspen. As reported by TopMob News, the event had a Western theme, with guests donning cowboy hats and boots. It was a laid-back affair that brought together family and friends over an extended weekend.

Russell and Hanger welcomed their son Buddy Prine Russell in November 2021.

Well, at least one good thing came out of the universally panned Fantastic Four reboot in 2014.

Mara and Bell developed feelings for one another while working together on the superhero movie, but it wasn’t until they were seen holding hands at a Met Gala after-party in May 2015 that dating rumors started swirling around them.

Following their wedding in July 2017, Bell expressed to TopMob News that it seemed as though they had been married for a long time, but in a wonderful manner. They were enjoying themselves immensely.

Back in May 2019, Mara shared that her family had expanded by welcoming their first child, stating on Instagram, “We’ve had a baby a couple of weeks ago…” The star of A Teacher added, “Here are her feet.” In November 2022, Mara and Bell announced the arrival of their second child in a similar manner: “I had a baby a week ago,” Mara posted on Instagram. “Here are his feet.” Bell is also father to son Jack Bell from his previous relationship with Evan Rachel Wood.

Kate isn’t the only Mara sister to find love on a film set.

In 2013, Phoenix and Mara showcased their exceptional on-screen connection when they acted together in the movie “Her,” which was nominated for an Oscar. Later, in 2018, they worked together again in the biblical drama “Mary Magdalene.” It is said that the couple became aware of their mutual attraction during the production of this film, which took place a year earlier in Italy.

At the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, this secret duo first appeared on the red carpet together, and they discreetly became engaged in the year 2019. During his acceptance speech for Best Actor at the Oscars, the lead actor of The Joker displayed his emotions as he acknowledged Mara, expressing his affection by saying, “I adore you.” Wiping away tears, he conveyed this message to his significant other.

In September 2020, director Victor Kossakovsky announced at the Zurich Film Festival that the couple had given birth to a baby boy. He also shared that their son was named River, which appears to be a tribute to Joaquin’s deceased brother, River Phoenix, who tragically passed away in 1993 at the age of 23.

Fans of Yellowstone enthusiastically swung their ropes in joy when the co-stars publicly acknowledged their relationship by posting a passionate photo on Bingham’s Instagram in April 2022. In this picture, they were depicted locked in a kiss amidst an open flame, with Bingham captioning their affectionate post as “More than a spark.” As for Harrison’s response? She expressed her feelings by saying, “I adore you, cowboy.”

From the very first taste, a profound affection blossomed between the pair, as they started dating during the production of HBO’s True Blood in 2008.

In an interview with TopMob News back in 2009, Moyer expressed, “There is no one else I’d prefer to collaborate with.” He shared his affection for the person, stating that their professional partnership blossomed into something more, right under the cameras.

One year after they made their engagement public, they got married in August 2010. Moyer and Paquin became parents to twins named Poppy and Charlie in the year 2012.

In 1993, both actors had been through unsuccessful marriages before they started filming Pontiac Moon. Neither of them were seeking romance at that time.

Steenburgen shared with Closer that he made it clear to all his friends – not in a theatrical way, but very sincerely – that he was stepping away from relationships. However, things changed for him and Danson when they were acting as husband and wife. Danson revealed that their connection deepened during a canoe scene on set.

Danson mentioned that we moved our paddles together rhythmically,” he said. “Initially, we set out as companions, but upon returning, we discovered we had fallen in love… It’s ironic how life sometimes unfolds in those instances. Often, when you let go and give in, good things often find their way to you.

Last October marked their 25th wedding anniversary, and the Book Club actress couldn’t help but share her heartfelt feelings about her partner with Closer magazine: “I’m utterly smitten by him! I find him incredibly captivating. He continually amazes me and, above all else, he makes me laugh nonstop.

In the very same conversation, the talented actor from The Good Place confessed, “I find myself getting anxious around her as I yearn to make a good impression on her – truly, I feel like I’ve hit the jackpot.

After watching the Hulu series “Tell Me Lies,” fans couldn’t help but speculate whether Van Patten and White’s on-screen chemistry extended off-screen as well. In interviews and on social media, they seemed to embrace their will-they-won’t-they dynamic. However, last November, we received confirmation: contrary to any rumors, the troubled on-screen couple is actually a real-life item, and thankfully, free of any toxic dynamics.

White made their relationship official at the 2022 CFDA Awards through various photobooth snaps, among which was a picture of the on-screen pair locking lips. Later, he shared a photo of himself and Van Patten tongue-kissing, accompanied by the caption, “Can we kiss for a season 2 at Hulu?” As a spoiler, it seems their strategy worked as Tell Me Lies is set to return later this year.
