An honorary doctorate

Liam took a detour via Hollywood when he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Belfast's Queen's University by Professor Peter Gregson in New York in 2009.
Four decades after enrolling at Queen's University, Liam was awarded a PhD by Belfast Instituten in May 2009. 
In his emotional speech, Liam quoted the Northern Ireland poet Paul Mulden, who comes from Armogh, as saying, " It is an art to create a monument to the human heart out of pain, out of misery, out of deep-seated sorrow, which shines like a golden dome between rain-slick and leaden roofs. In his speech, Liam also joked, " Now I can finally tell my mom that I graduated. "
Liam studied  physics, computer science and theater at Queen's University from 1971. However, he soon left college again to devote himself intensively to acting. To earn some money Liam worked at Guinness as a forklift truck driver.
In his laudatory speech,  Prof Gregson recounted details from Liam's 1970 application form,  which included the following note : "The 18-years-old's acadamic referee from Ballymena Technical College commented on the possibility of career away from physics and computer science. Liam's chief interest would appear to be amateur dramatics."
Someone recognized Liam's potential very early on. But I think the person who created the profile of this eighteen-year-old had no idea how big his former student's acting career would become.  
Liam was accompanied to the awards ceremony by his sons Micheál (then 13 years old) and Daniel (then 12 years old).

Maidin mhaith a stór Liam, guím lá iontach síochánta oraibh agus tá súil agam go mbeidh cupán tae ag an mbeirt againn le chéile go luath  
Tabhair aire mhaith duit féin agus fan sláintiúil. 
Dála an scéil, is maith liom do ghairdín go mór. Chonaic mé cúpla grianghraf ar chuntas Instagram Daniel. Caithfidh an gairdín a bheith cosúil le linn snámha suaimhneach duit. Bain sult as an ósais glas seo. Tá sé tuillte agat  🦋

How I Became a Liam Neeson Fan!

Bild
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
