20 celebrities you didn’t know contracted HIV (With Pics)

12. Tony Richardson

Natasha and Joely Richardson’s father Tony was a world renowned director and had been married to Vanessa Redgrave (with whom he had Natasha and Joely). It was long suspected that Tony was bisexual and he contracted HIV. There has been no word on whether it was passed on to anyone else in his family, but he died in 1991 as a result of AIDS-related complications. Tragically, his daughter Natasha died several years ago from injuries sustained during a skiing accident.
