London, Feb 19 (ANI): English actress Vanessa Redgrave has spoken out about how acting helped her in dealing with the death of her daughter actress Natasha Richardson.
Redgrave, 73, who will receive an Academy Fellowship at February 21's film Baftas, had appeared in 'The Year of Magical Thinking', which is Joan Didion's play about mourning the deaths of her husband and daughter.
The BBC asked the actress in an interview on how she coped with the grief and loss of her daughter during a skiing accident last spring, and if art played a part in helping her.
"When I did the final performance in New York in The Cathedral of St John the Divine this October, it helped me," the Telegraph quoted her as saying.
"But help is a funny word. It turns out to mean so much more and so many things differently than what we think of when we hear the word 'help', you know?
"This is where the magic of an extraordinary writer comes in. Because nothing can help - absolutely nothing.
"On the other hand, we all of us learn about terrible grief, all of us go through it at some point in our lives or another.
"And if someone can throw some light on what we have gone through or are going through or will go through always, you can call that, yeah, it's a big help," she added. (ANI)
