Actor Liam Neeson spoke to Diane Sawyer on "Good Morning America" about his relationship with the late Senator Ted Kennedy -- and how his family is dealing with the loss of his wife Natasha Richardson.

"We're doing good," the acclaimed actor told GMA. "To be honest, we're taking each day as it comes. I'm still getting extraordinary condolence letters from American people. It's deeply, deeply touching."

Natasha Richardson was the daughter of legendary actress Vanessa Redgrave. She had two sons with Neeson.

Richardson made her feature film debut as Mary Shelley in Ken Russell's "Gothic" (1986). Her performance caught the attention of director Paul Schrader, who cast her in the title role in "Patty Hearst" (1988), In 1995 she co-starred with Jodie Foster and Liam Neeson in "Nell" (1994) and, in 1998, in "The Parent Trap" (1998) with Dennis Quaid. Her other films include "Blow Dry" (2001) released in 2001, and Ethan Hawke's "Chelsea Walls" (2001).

Natasha Richardson won the 1998 Tony Award for her celebrated performance in the Roundabout Theater Company revival of Cabaret and was also Tony-nominated for her starring role in the revival of Anna Christie. Other Broadway credits include Closer and A Streetcar Named Desire.
