Liam Neeson was smitten by Natasha Richardson when he met the late actress in 1993.
'She was a radiant beauty,' Neeson, 61, told Anderson Cooper in a recent '60 Minutes' interview.
'Yeah, cascading hair. I remember. There was-that was very, very attractive.'
The 'Taken' star described the intense chemistry he had with Richardson while they co-starred on Broadway in Eugene O'Neill's 'Anna Christie.'
'She and I were like [Fred] Astaire and [Ginger] Rogers. We had just this wonderful kind of dance, free dance on stage every night, you know?'
Richardson died suddenly in March of 2009, after falling and hitting her head in a skiing accident. She was 45 years old, and was survived by the actor and their two teenage sons, Micheál and Daniel.

'Bono is a pal and he came around to have a dinner,' he said in the interview, according to E! News.
'And I remember he was sitting beside Micheál and, just out of the blue he said, 'What age are you, Micheál?'... Micheál said, 'Thirteen.' And he said, 'Yeah, that's the age I was when I lost my mum.' That was it. And it I could have kissed him for it.'
'He was saying, 'You know, I lost my mom at this age and I'm doing OK. And you will do OK too.''
