Oh how terrible. I love her, she is a great actress like her mother and so beautiful. I hope she recovers. I do hope the brain injury isn't as bad as it sounds
Wow that doesn't sound to good isn't she the grandaughter of Ralph Richardson?
Hmm guess not always thought she was she's actually Michael Redgrave's grand daughter..

Hey lets all go skiing in Canada and either die or get badly injured. Seriously though helmets should be required at all ski hills.
Damn. Sad news on a day when I finally got some good. Been in love with her since I saw Dennis Quaid do so all over again in The Parent Trap remake.
I had a couple of prayers answered today, so I will definitely be p(r)aying it forward. Here's to a complete and speedy recovery for Natasha!
I love Natasha Richardson, such a wonderful actress. I actually saw her on Broadway in 'Cabaret' and she was astounding.
I hope and pray she will pull through this.
Thats sad. I've always liked her acting. Hope she pulls through.
Awwww....does she have any kids?
Sad story, hope she is able to pull through!
I never ski. Too damned dangerous.
She has two sons with Liam Neeson.
Her sons with Liam are just 12 and 13 years of age. If its a trumatic head injury I wonder if she ran into a tree or hit her head on a rock....ran into another skier?? I love skiing but it just takes a split second to have a bad accident. Here's hoping it is not a serious as it sounds.
Bummer.
They should remake The Handmaid's Tale. Brilliant. Baaad movie.
I certainly hope she is OK as well.
Liam Neeson always has that sad world weary look and cadance to his voice that several of us Irish can have.
They seem like a very happy couple and their kids are cute. Her Mom Vanessa Redgrave was so beautiful in a wild sort of way when she was younger.
I remember her Mom in Camelot.
I must say as a southerner that I fail to see the attraction of paying good money to get cold and wet. Sking has never held any facination. I tried it a couple of times and it was not pleasant for me.
The drinks in the lodge afterwards by the fire worked but freezing in the lift line and on the lift etc not so much!
Well prayers for her and her family.
Regards,
Mary
I am devistated. She is so lovely and she and Mr. Neeson are such a wonderful pair. I don't look for her to survive this and it is devistating. In my opinion "Nell" will be her best movie. Her family must be beside themselves to say the least.
So very awful. I hope if she recovers, there are no lasting affects to her.
There is something in the reporting of Natashas accident that sounds very devastating! I hope she will recover....... this sounds like a very serious accident!
Oh this is so sad!!! I do feel a little bad writing this since I lust after her husband (but who doesnt really) I hope she has a full and speedy recovery. Our prayers are with you Natasha!!!
This is just terrible news. I really hope she recovers. She is a great actress and I just loved her and Liam in the movie Nell.
I just heard this while driving into work - sounds so bad.
I've never skiied so I don't know much about it, but I would think if you were traveling at a high speed and hit a tree or some other object you could really fuck yourself up.
I'm having a good thought for her...she's a talented woman and from everything I've read a nice gal to boot, a quality which seems rare among some celebrities.
Wow! I had no idea that they had two young boys! I hope she pulls through!
Just read this on Yahoo news. I don't have a good feeling about it, unfortunately. If she pulls through, she has a lot of rehab and recovery time to go through and probably won't be the same. There are miracles, of course, and the human body can come back from extraordinary trauma, but I just don't get a good feeling about this. I feel particularly bad for her sons. I'll pray for a good outcome, nevertheless.
This sort of accident reminds me why I gave up downhill after my teens and took to Nordic skiing. You get the ski experience, but at a much safer speed, and you can enjoy the surroundings better! I'm naturally a chicken myself; never was a danger junkie!
I never knew much about her, and can't say I've seen any of her movies; the only thing I know is she's married to Liam Neeson.
I hope she recovers.

Just read that she was on a green hill which is a beginners hill. She lost her footing and tumbled down the hill. She didn't hit a tree or anyone else. Liam is in Toronto filming a movie and rushed to be by his wife's side (the happened in Quebec).
awww thats terrible... Liam Neeson is one of my favourits and I have seen Natasha in several films and think she´s a wonderful actress... I hope she recovers and that her injuries aren´t as bad as rumoured

Love is the answer - and you know that for sure.
Has anyone else any more on this story??
Natasha Richardson, 45, wife of Liam Neeson is critical in Sacre Coeur hospital in Montreal after suffering a head injury whilst skiing in Mont Tremblant resort in Quebec.
She married Nesson in 1994 and they have two sons. Her movie credits include The Parent Trap and The Handmaids Tale. She also won a Tony Best Actress in a musical award in 1998 for her role in Cabaret.
There is a thread on this in the Entertainment thread Goth
Just read about this on the NY Post Twitter and followed up to an article.
Prayers and good thoughts going out to Natasha and her whole family, especially the boys. I really hope she recovers, as she's one of my favorite actresses...
Now... wheres that then... oh entertainment... cool its only just come on our news channels.... that and the news that John Lennons dead!!
I liked her in Patty Hearst.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]peek-a-boo!!
hum....
I forgot about that movie joplinfrk. She was good in that.
Just saw on Perez Hilton that she has passed away...not on any other news links yet though.
I just read an update. Apparently she was getting a lesson and for some unknown reason she fell. No blood, no sign of impact. The Ski Patrol came to her aid and she was concious and making jokes. An hour later she started complaining of headaches and was taken to the hospital. She was totally concious when she arrived at the hospital. No mention of her state right now.
On Yahoo they've downgraded the headline to "hospitalized" from "critical", and make it sound like she went to the hospital after not feeling well. Wonder where the truth lies?

THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL -- Actress Natasha Richardson was conscious and showed no signs of a serious head injury after she fell during a beginner ski lesson at Mont Tremblant, a spokeswoman for the popular Quebec resort said Tuesday.
Lyne Lortie said the Tony-award-winning actress was in the middle of a private ski lesson on Monday when she suffered what appeared to be a relatively unspectacular fall at the resort north of Montreal.
While Richardson seemed fine, the ski patrol wanted to take a closer look so she was taken to the bottom of the hill by sled, Lortie said.
"She showed really no visible sign of injury and she was talking and showed absolutely no sign of confusion," she said.
"It was right in the middle of the slope so she didn't hit anyone or a tree. It was a fall as anyone can do. It wasn't a violent fall at all."
A family member confirmed Richardson had a skiing accident but the extent of her injuries was unclear.
Earlier reports indicated she may have suffered a serious brain injury.
But Lortie said Richardson insisted on returning to her room at Mont Tremblant's Hotel Quintessence and was accompanied by the instructor and ski patrol.
They stayed with her for about an hour after which she began complaining of a headache and not feeling well.
Lortie said they "immediately" called an ambulance and she was taken to the Centre Hospitalier Laurentian near Mont Tremblant before being transferred to Sacre-Coeur Hospital in Montreal.
The accident happened around noon and it's not clear if Richardson was accompanied by anyone.
Lortie said Richardson had not yet checked out of her hotel room as of noon Tuesday.
Richardson is the daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave and the wife of actor Liam Neeson.

Here's the link.
I just saw on CNN's Headline News that she is exactly as Duster and myself reported. She had an accident skiing, is in hospital recovering.
