Liam Neeson Recalls How His Family 'Pulled Together' After Wife Natasha Richardson's Tragic Death

Liam Neeson tells PEOPLE how his extended family 'pulled together' after his wife Natasha Richardson died after a skiing accident in 2009. 'It was a horrible thing to happen,' but in the aftermath 'we were fortunate in lots of ways,' he says of the support.

Neeson, raised by parents with modest means in Northern Ireland, says he felt “that Irish working-class need to just take any job that was going.” His latest in the action genre is Absolution, a drama about a low-level Boston criminal and boxer diagnosed with CTE. As he struggles to accept his new reality, he aims to make amends with his family while also settling the score with some very bad men.
