The open Liam

I read and listen to a lot of interviews that Liam has given over the years. There are some interviews that I always enjoy reading or listening to. Because there you get to know Liam as he really is. Open, honest and sometimes "fragile" (maybe that's the wrong word, but it describes some of the passages that you read or hear in the interviews quite well.) 
One of the interviews that I always read or listen to is the "60 Minutes" interview from 2014 that Anderson Cooper did with Liam. 
The introduction to the interview alone says a lot about Liam: 
Liam Neeson at 61 years old has been become one of the highest paid movie stars in Hollywood. You may remember him as Oskar Schindler in Steven Spielberg's movie "Schindler's List" or dozens of other classical dramatic roles, but today he's best known as one of the most sough after action stars in the movie buisness. 
Neeson's success is bittersweet. Five years ago his wife,  the actress Natasha Richardson, fell while skiing and died from a traumatic brain injury. He's said very little about her death, until tonight. We decide to start this story about Neeson where He was born. In Ballymena, a simple town, just outside Belfast, Northern Ireland. 
During the interview, small films were repeatedly shown that showed Liam in a very private way. One film in particular sticks in my mind. It shows Liam with a dog that he saved from children who were throwing stones at him in Central Park in New York. Liam took the dog into his home in Millbrook at the time.

Maidin mhaith a Liam, guím lá iontach síochánta oraibh agus tá súil agam go mbeidh cupán tae againn le chéile go luath. Tabhair aire mhaith duit féin agus fan sláintiúil  
❤️🇮🇪🍀💚🤍🧡

How I Became a Liam Neeson Fan!

I have been a Steven Spielberg fan since the 1970s. Almost from the very first hour, and I eagerly awaited all of his films.  When Steven Spielberg first talked about making a film about Oskar Schindler around 1990, I was thrilled. Because I had learned a lot about this remarkable person at school.  When the name Liam Neeson was mentioned my first reaction was 'Liam who?'  I had never heard of this, what was the name, Liam Neeson... and believe me, it was the early 1990s. A completely different decade... No, a completely different century. No internet where you could quickly look up who this certain Liam Neeson is! You had to wait until some specialist magazine for the cinema world appeared. No matter whether printed in German or English.  This is how the information was obtained at the time!  When the film "Schindler's List" finally came out in 1994, I went to the cinema three times in one week. The first time because it was a Steven Spielberg film an

Natasha about her mother

Bild
When Natasha was asked:" What was it like to see your mother, Vanessa Redgrave, on stage or screen when you were growing up?" Natasha answered:" Well, I didn't see her much on stage, because at that period of her life I don't think she was on stage much. I think it had a profound effect on me. I took it very real, but not only because she's such a great actress, but, you know, when I'd see her as "Isadora" ,you know, died at the end, I'd get doubly upset.  And my mother would say,' no, it's okay, I'm here. ' And I'd say, ' Well,I know you're here, but it's a true story  ,and that really happened and it's upsetting me,.' But I just love, you know, I just loved watching her movies. I loved- I've always been, you know, I could eat movies for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I mean, I need them like a drug! And I used to watch always old Judy Garland movies, and Marilyn Monroe movies and Katherine Hepburn
