Joely, an actress known for movies like The Patriot and television series like Nip/Tuck, and Natasha — a Tony Award-winning actress — are the daughters of celebrated actress Vanessa Redgrave and Tony Richardson.
Natasha and the Irish-born actor met in 1993 when they starred opposite each other in a Broadway revival of Anna Christie. They married one year later on July 3, 1994, and went on to welcome two children together, Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28. Richardson died in March 2009 after suffering a head injury while skiing on Quebec's Mont Tremblant.
Joely has been candid about her sister's death over the years. In January, Joely shared a black-and-white childhood photo of herself and Natasha as she reflected on turning 60.
"Me and my sister Tasha. On my birthday people seemed astonished that I was happy to be turning sixty," she wrote in a caption at that time. "Why wouldn't I be? It's not like the numbers jumped from 25 to 60. All the years and decades in between were LIVED. Now I get to be this number and investigate how I find it. '60 is the new 40' people say — I say 'Why does it need to be? I did that one 2 decades ago.' '

In addition to the sale of NFL Network, the NFL and ESPN are also entering into a second non-binding agreement, under which the NFL will license to ESPN certain NFL content and other intellectual property to be used by NFL Network and other assets. These transactions between America's most popular sporting league and the world's most innovative sports media leader are designed to set a new standard for how professional football is delivered, experienced and celebrated by fans. "Today's announcement paves the way for the world's leading sports media brand and America's most popular sport to deliver an even more compelling experience for NFL fans, in a way that only ESPN and Disney can," said Robert A. Iger, Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company. "Commissioner Goodell and the NFL have built outstanding media assets, and these transactions will add to consumer choice, provide viewers with even greater convenience and quality, and expand the breadth and value proposition of Disney's streaming ecosystem." "Since its launch in 2003, NFL Network has provided millions of fans unprecedented access to the sport they love," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "Whether it was debuting Thursday Night Football, televising the Combine, or telling incredible football stories through original shows and breaking news, NFL Network has delivered. The Network's sale to ESPN will build on this remarkable legacy, providing more NFL football for more fans in new and innovative ways." "This is an exciting day for sports fans," said Jimmy Pitaro, Chairman of ESPN. "By combining these NFL media assets with ESPN's reach and innovation, we're creating a premier destination for football fans. Together, ESPN and the NFL are redefining how fans engage with the game—anytime, anywhere. This deal helps fuel ESPN's digital future, laying the foundation for an even more robust offering as we prepare to launch our new direct-to-consumer service." Additional Details This new relationship brings together some of the NFL's premier media brands and fan-engagement platforms with ESPN's deep experience in producing and distributing high-quality and innovative sports programming. ESPN intends to deploy its resources and expertise in the development of NFL Network, distribution of the RedZone Channel and fantasy, to expand audience reach, increase accessibility and flexibility for consumers, drive innovation, and offer even more high-quality content to fans at highly competitive prices. As a result of this sale, NFL programming will be available on more platforms than ever before, including ESPN's upcoming direct-to-consumer ("DTC") service, while remaining on cable, satellite and leading streaming providers. ESPN's DTC offering will deliver an array of NFL content to subscribers. Under the terms of these agreements: NFL Network, including both linear and digital rights, would be owned and operated by ESPN and fully integrated into ESPN DTC, alongside traditional pay television distribution, increasing accessibility and flexibility for consumers and promoting innovation in sports programming. ESPN would own broad rights to the RedZone brand and distribute the NFL RedZone Channel to pay TV operators for continued inclusion into their sports packages. NFL Fantasy Football would merge with ESPN Fantasy Football, creating the official Fantasy season-long game of the NFL and one best-in-class digital experience, driving innovation and enabling broader reach to meet global demand. In total, ESPN's platforms will license an additional three NFL games per season to air on NFL Network as a result of today's news. In addition, ESPN will adjust its overall NFL game schedule, with four games (including some from overlapping windows) shifting to the NFL Network, which will continue to present seven games per season. The NFL will continue to own and operate its retained media businesses including properties such as NFL Films and key fan-facing platforms such as NFL+, the NFL Podcast Network, the NFL FAST Channel and the official sites for the league's 32 clubs. It will also continue to own, operate, and produce NFL RedZone, and retain the rights to distribute NFL RedZone digitally. The transactions are subject to the parties' negotiation of definitive agreements, various approvals including by the NFL team owners, and customary closing conditions. ESPN is 80 percent owned by ABC, Inc. (an indirect subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company) and 20 percent by Hearst.

John Oliver takes ‘hard pass' on Jay Leno's comedy advice

Amid the uncertainty of the late-night TV industry, John Oliver isn't trying to hear Jay Leno's expert opinion on comedy. The 'Last Week Tonight' host opened up on the fate of the media landscape following CBS pulling the plug on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.' While the network said the cancellation was due to so-called 'financial' reasons, some have attributed the decision to Colbert's comedy stylings, which leans heavily into the polarizing political climate. Leno, who exited the late night scene in 2015, shared his views about why that type of content doesn't work — at least not for him. During a recent interview with David Trulio for The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, the 75-year-old comedian said he doesn't subscribe to mixing politics and humor for a mass audience. ''I like to think that people come to a comedy show to kind of get away from the things, the pressures of life, wherever it might be,' he said, adding: 'I love political humor, don't get me wrong, but what happens [is] people wind up cozying too much to one side or the other.' 'I don't understand why you would alienate one particular group … just do what's funny,' he concluded. When asked about Leno's comments, Oliver dismissed his opinion. 'I'm going to take a hard pass on taking comedic advice from Jay Leno,' the 30-time Emmy Award winner told The Hollywood Reporter in a Q&A published Tuesday. When probed further about the former 'Tonight Show' host's belief that comedy on late-night TV should cater to the widest audience possible, he poo-pooed that as well. 'Who thinks that way? Executives? Comedy can't be for everyone. It's inherently subjective,' Oliver said. 'So, yeah, when you do stand-up, some people try to play to a broader audience, which is completely legitimate. Others decide not to, which is equally legitimate.' Regarding his own approach to comedy on his top-rated HBO series, Oliver admitted that his show 'clearly comes from a point of view' but argued that most of the bigger content pieces 'are not party political …they're about systemic issues.' The British-American funnyman added: 'You want people to at least be able to agree on the problem, even if you disagree on what the solution to it is.'
