Dennis Quaid Says Parent Trap Co-Star Natasha Richardson’s Death ‘Breaks’ His Heart; Details Inside

As a die-hard fan of Dennis Quaid‘s illustrious career, I can’t help but feel a pang of melancholy at his longing for a sequel to “The Parent Trap.” The film holds a special place in my heart, not just because of the adorable antics of Lindsay Lohan, but also because it served as an exceptional platform for Dennis Quaid’s acting prowess.


Actor Dennis Quaid from The Long Game expresses hope for a Parent Trap sequel, but believes it may not come to pass due to the tragic passing of Natasha Richardson. During an interview at the premiere of his latest movie Reagan, Quaid shared that it’s difficult to envision making another film without Richardson, who passed away in 2009. He also mentioned that her loss continues to deeply affect him.

In the 1998 reboot of “The Parent Trap,” Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson portrayed Lindsay Lohan’s parents. Quaid recently commended Lohan, who is now 38 years old, as exceptional, adding that she has blossomed into a stunning individual.

Additionally, he hinted at the potential for a follow-up storyline, involving his character gifting a vineyard to his daughters, though he’s uncertain if it will materialize. Nevertheless, Quaid holds that the 1998 movie maintains a robust impact.

“For me, ‘The Parent Trap’ was a significant stepping stone in my acting career,” Quaid mentioned. “This film holds a special place and is incredibly charming. I think it will still be cherished and watched by generations a hundred years from now.”

Quaid expresses that Natasha Richardson’s unfortunate accident left a deep impact on him and numerous others. He held her in high regard due to her blissful marriage with Liam Neeson and the uplifting atmosphere she brought to the workplace, inspiring those around her.

Looking back at The Parent Trap, Quaid comments that it seems like only yesterday, even though the movie celebrated its 20th anniversary not too long ago. He fondly recalls the 1961 original and how the 1998 version became a hit among children, frequently used by parents as a form of childcare. Quaid jokes that he himself was quite the childcare provider for many kids while their parents were occupied.
