REDGRAVE POSTPONES NEW YORK PLAY

Veteran actress VANESSA REDGRAVE has postponed her New York stage return in THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING following the tragic death of her daughter NATASHA RICHARDSON.
The Maid In Manhattan star died last Wednesday (18Mar09) after suffering a traumatic brain injury during a skiing lesson in Montreal, Canada.
She was laid to rest on Sunday (22Mar09), near the upstate New York home she shared with actor husband Liam Neeson and their sons.
Redgrave was due to perform her one-woman play, adapted from Joan Didion's book, at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine on 27 April (09), but she has now chosen to reschedule the date to allow her time to mourn.
The British actress originally starred in the 2007 Broadway adaptation of the harrowing retelling of the deaths of the author's husband and daughter.
Cathedral officials are working on securing a new date for the show, according to church spokesman Jonathan Korzen.
