RIP...and thinking of Liam and their sons now. In a way, it's a good thing that, if she wasn't going to recover, that she went quickly and that she didn't have happen what happened to Terri Schiavo and others.

[flvegan]

1. OMG, I can't believe she died.

My condolences to her husband, family and loved ones.

[LostinVA]

7. This is very upsetting to me for some reason

[WildEyedLiberal]

9. Me too, and I don't think I really even saw many of her movies

I think it's because she and Liam Neeson were the one real honest to God in love with each other Hollywood couple out there. It's so horribly sad to imagine the pain he and their sons must be going through.

[RaleighNCDUer]

97. make a point of seeing A Handmaid's Tale

I actually thought seeing it was de rigueur for DU - much like V for Vendetta is.

[DevonRex]

10. I understand. She was a really great person by all accounts. Active

in several causes, one of them being AIDS. She was young, beautiful, talented, had a great husband and fine children.

:hug:

[LostinVA]

39. I was thinking about Liam Neeson's role in "Love Actually"

[colorado thinker]

41. Me, too. That was the first thing I thought of.

It broke my heart, thinking that he is now living the role he played in that movie.

[glinda]

76. Life often imitates Art. I too was thinking of that movie.

[DevonRex]

49. Aw, man. Now I'm tearing up. So very, very sad.

[DrZeeLit]

87. Yes. I heard his voice in my mind and I struggled to remember where and then, whoa, I was blown away

because I love that movie and have watched it so many times.

He's so vulnerable and compassionate in that role -- comes across as such a "dad".

This is so heartbreaking. They are young and their family is young.
Plus, Vanessa Redgrave has always been one of my heroes -- never afraid to speak put against injustice.

[MissDeeds]

96. Me too

I mentioned that to my husband earlier today. The irony.

I feel terrible about her death. To be so alive one moment, to be able to laugh about a spill on the beginner's ski slope, and then, in no time at all, to be brain dead. It is incredibly chilling, and very, very sad.

[BrklynLiberal]

102. That is exactly what came to my mind too....

[FedUpWithIt All]

129. I have been haunted by him in that role too.

This was such a shocking death.

RIP to Natasha and much sympathy to her family.

[peacetalksforall]

42. And a fabulous mother. The best.

[NYC Liberal]

15. She wasn't "controversial", she wasn't an attention hog...just a great woman and a great actress.

I think that's part of it.

[LostinVA]

34. Yes -- very "normal" in her real life

I keep wondering if her boys coaxed her into going skiing.

[jobycom]

33. It's hard to see it happen like that, especially since we've all known her closest family

for so long. Makes it all more personal than just a name and cause of death. Plus, the shockingly incidental cause is hard to get a grasp on. How can life be so fragile, and how can things so unfair really happen? Reminds us all of what can happen to our own loved ones.

Watching it develop gave our emotions time to get involved, and even time to hope the reports were wrong.

Sad day.

[LostinVA]

37. Haruka and I were just saying that -- it could happen to any of us

Both of us have REALLY whacked our heads on the crawl space joists, or got punched in the head in Karate (her), or taken a bad fall while trailrunning (me). And we just shrugged it off, just like she did. She was also only a year older than me.

[jobycom]

58. Makes me think of my late night jogs differently. nt.

[aquart]

38. As if we need to believe that beauty wealth and fame is a magic amulet

protecting the wearer from all harm. It's always so shocking and dismaying when we find it isn't true.

[jobycom]

56. I don't think it's that, so much, as that we are more attracted to talent and beauty

and so we feel it more when something so horrible happens to people who charm us so. Obviously we would all be far more devastated if it happened to a close loved one, and it obviously happens to people we have no connection to all the time without us even being aware of it, but to see someone we've smiled at, maybe shed a tear watching, maybe bonded with in a film or two, suffering so much, makes it more real, almost like it is personal.

There was a study done recently that showed that your brain reacts the same to people you see repeatedly on favorite television shows as people you actually know, as though your brain and your emotions use the same chemical responses for friendship as for the cathartic relationship with a figure you observe only through a medium like film or TV. The emotions are just as real, in other words, even if logically you tell yourself they shouldn't be. People feel real emotions towards celebrities they have reacted to.

[NashVegas]

77. Actors and Other Artists Are a Part of Our Culture

The art they make, when it is art, is among our touchstones as humans. Richardson was someone who I saw in the 1980s "arthouse" films in my town (The Spectrum, Albany). My friends and I would go there and discuss the movies after, while we munched on homemade desserts. Gothic was one of the freakiest and we ate it right up.

[Paula Sims]

83. My 88 year old father just took a tumble down concrete stairs. . .

Received a head gash, broke his nose and is just fine. This just happened Sunday and the family was amazed. Yes, he went to the hospital, got stitched up, and he was monitored for some time but he's fine now. Well, "fine" is a relative term -- he has inoperable prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones (legs).

I guess why she & Liam seemed so "real" is that they still had "googlie-eyes" for each other and it was genuine. My sympathies to them all.

:cry:

[Hieronymus]

45. Me too ... much more than I'd have thought possible. I've admired

her family for so long.
She and her mother were preparing to do "A Little Night Music" on Broadway. That would have been phenomenal.

[MillieJo]

62. Maybe because it seems so random...one seemly small

accident and then she is gone... The speculation throughout the day haven't helped either...

All the time the gossip rags are promoting the off-spring of the famous as stars (Lily Allan, Rumar Willis, Nicole Ritchie, Paris Hilton, Peaches and Pixie Geldof, Jamie Winston, Kelly Osbourne etc), while they mis-behave, fall down drunk in the streets and do nothing much, but demand attention.
Natasha Richardson the daughter of a famous arting dynasty, achieved everything through her own work and did not demand any limelight and she wasn't spoilt either... Judging by the reaction to the news, it seems that Natasha was loved by many, many people.

[Warpy]

64. It's probably because her initial injury looked like nothing

and she went from fine to comatose in such a very short time.

Do look for more of her work. She was a fantastic actress who could convey a page of dialogue with a tilt of the head or a wave of the hand.

Thanks to her work, she'll always be young and beautiful.

My condolences to her family.

[TuxedoKat]

93. Me too.

My dad died in a similar manner, from a blood clot in the brain. His was caused by a medication they gave him in a hospital though -- and he was even in the hospital at the time and they couldn't save him. I also have a daughter the age of her younger son.

RIP, Ms. Richardson. God bless you and your family.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

44. Me, too. Very sad. Condolences to the family. May she rest in peace.

[LisaM]

2. Ah, I'm sorry.

I was a big fan of hers.

[ronnykmarshall]

3. This is just so sad.

:cry:

[supernova]

4. Announced it on BBC America News as well

So sad. My condolences to her family.

Poor Liam and sons! :cry:

[ixion]

5. Rest in Peace, Ms. Richardson

you're talent will be missed. :(

[LSparkle]

6. So, so sad ... God bless Liam Neeson and their sons ...

Rest in peace, Natasha.

[DevonRex]

8. We knew that was coming. She was in a great hospital in Canada.

And you don't fly a patient with brain swelling if they're already in a place that can handle the injury, unless there is no chance of recovery.

[Demoiselle]

48. You're right. I hadn't thought of that...

I wanted so badly for her to be OK. Perhaps there was no chance from the start. Oh how sad for them all.

[MillieJo]

69. Yeap... her she was flown to New York so she could die

surrounded by her family, who were in New York or London.

[maddezmom]

11. so sad

:cry: thoughts and prayers to the family.

[question everything]

12. Sad (nt)

[AndyA]

13. Bless her heart. Sending comforting thoughts to family and friends.

She was a lovely young lady, and a very capable actress.

She's in a better place now. Rest in peace, Natasha.

[jobycom]

14. Heartbreaking. Condolences to her family, friends, and many well-earned fans.

There will be a ton of grief tonight for a lot of people.

[LaurenG]

16. I am very sad - condolences to her family and friends. nt

[DesertRat]

17. My heart goes out to her family.

I liked her work in a movie with her mother a couple of years ago called Evening. There were both such great actresses. She and her mother were reportedly planning to work together again on Broadway in a revival of A Little Night Music.

May she rest in peace. :cry:

[colorado thinker]

71. I watched "Evening" just last night

on cable. A really good film, didn't get good reviews but perhaps that was because it was truly a woman's movie?

Watch it, it is lovely.

[DesertRat]

114. I thought it was a very good movie

I saw it in the theater when it came out a couple of years ago. It was very moving, with great performances. I remember that the reviews were mediocre. :shrug:

[susanna]

113. Evening really touched me.

I watched my grandmother die as a young woman, and she told me stories of her young life when I'd sit with her at night; she'd be upset and want to talk, and I was always there (she lived in our home). So it was a bittersweet movie in that it touched on that theme; what was, what wasn't, what could have been.

Rest in peace to Natasha, and all my sympathy to her grieving family. May time heal their pain.

[kestrel91316]

How sadly ironic that a few years ago Liam Neeson played a widowed

father raising a son in Love Actually.

Sad, sad, day. I can't imagine how those boys feel to lose their mom this young. I lost my dad when I was 23 and I wasn't even able to cope very well at that age.

I liked her role in The Handmaid's Tale, though it was an iffy adaptation of a truly great book.

[FarLeftRage]

18. Like totally bumming here...

RIP Natasha and peace to her family. :cry:

[Starry Messenger]

19. Absolutely tragic.

I can't believe it.

[proud patriot]

20. Strength to her family and friends

This really saddens me .

I remember her grace .

She will be missed .

[JitterbugPerfume]

21. if she was severely brain damaged

it is a blessing to her and her family .

How can I make such a statement?

My son lived 10 years with severe brain damage in a nursing home.

my condolences to her family , but it is better this way.

Think Terry Schiavo

[NYC Liberal]

23. Yes, I feel the same way. IF she wasn't going to recover

better that she go quickly than linger for years. Not even just for her sake (she obviously wouldn't be conscious), but for the family's sake.

[Booster]

29. I totally agree, and if this ever happens to me, I hope I go

just like she did. RIP, Natasha - you've always been a good and lovely woman.

[LostinVA]

47. Agreed -- she and her family were spared what happen to Karen Ann Quinlan and her family

Very, very tragic.

[MillieJo]

70. If think she was brain-dead... actually...not brain damaged

n/t...

[onehandle]

22. Thinking of two films I love.

"The Parent Trap" remake. Which was one of the best remakes in history. I loved the original as a child (still).

"Love Actually" where Liam Neeson's wife was dead.

choking up...

[MillieJo]

73. I loved that re-make too...

It is the beautiful scenes between Natasha and Lindsay Lohan that make it so compelling, it was really good work from both of them.

I also loved her in Nell, The Comfort Of Strangers and Widow's Peak... she wasn't afraid to play small parts, she wasn't starry, wanting the lead role.

[avaistheone1]

24. Unbelievable!

How sad - a tragic end as the result of a simple accident.

God bless her and her family.

RIP

[bear425]

25. Very sad news, indeed.

RIP Natasha and my condolences to the family

[stray cat]

26. On a beginners trail talking lessons with a ski instructor and a seemingly minor spill

Life is fragile - no matter your political inclinations.

[avaistheone1]

Indeed it is.

Life is fragile and a great gift. These are the times we are reminded.

[Kahuna]

32. This incident reminds me that when it's your time to go, you just go..

It doesn't matter how. I feel so bad for her family. She seemed to be a really lovely lady and I've long admired her mother. :cry:

[jobycom]

43. I'm not sure it was so minor.

Judging from the press releases, her instructor and others who saw it were very alarmed, and tried to get her to see a doctor several times before she did. Sounds like they thought it was a bad spill. Christ, that's going to drive her family crazy, wishing she had, wondering if she could have been saved. Her poor kids are really going to have problems. They were there, they are going to be blaming themselves and they won't even have the language to express their feelings.

My kids are out of town this week. I think I'm going to go call them now. Make sure they know how I feel about them. They'll just have to deal with the mushiness best they can.

[Berry Cool]

82. I wouldn't dwell on that if I were them.

Like I said in a post this morning, I know of someone who I heard of secondhand from friends years ago who died about a week after a head injury--and he HAD been checked out in the meantime, at the urging of his friends, and pronounced OK. He still died.

I hope very much that no one blames themselves or thinks they could have done anything different. It's aching and pointless to think that way.

I am sure your kids can deal with the "mushiness." We can never tell the people we love that we love them too many times.

RIP, Natasha, and condolences to all the loved ones.

[defendandprotect]

111. Natasha seems to have been as moving and memorable as her Mom .. .

With all the corrupt people around I'd be willing to have moved off the

planet, I can only wonder what sense this is making in the universe.

None that I can see.

A shocking loss for her family, husband, children -- very sad!


PS: And just want to mention that thought came to mind because I was just

reading some lovely things Natasha said about her mother -- Vanessa Redgrave --

after seeing her film "Camelot." And, I have to agree that was a mystical,

magical production having a great deal to do with the mystical, magical Vanessa.

[DevonRex]

51. I think she was being a mom and trying not to...

spoil the fun for her boys. That's what mothers do, after all.

[warrior1]

27. Bless her heart

I hate this. She was one of the good ones.

[FloridaJudy]

28. My condolences to her family and friends

This has got to be tough. Safe passage, Natasha.

[chatnoir]

30. Omg, I can't believe she died!

This is deeply shocking and heartbreaking to me for some reason. :cry:

[rebecca_herman]

35. so tragic :(

I feel terrible for her husband & young sons and the rest of her family. :( She and her husband always seemed truly in love, one of the few genuine marriages in Hollywood. RIP, my thoughts are with the family.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

36. This is heartbreaking

She was such a beautiful and talented actress

My deepest, sincerest and most heartfelt thoughts, prayers, sympathies and condolences are extended to Liam Neeson, their kids and Ms Richardson's other family and friends

[BeyondGeography]

40. Dreadful, the whole thing

I grieve for her and her family.

[jb5150]

46. Very, very sad

I hope this will inspire everyone, particularly young people, to have a written directive spelling out exactly what type of medical intervention they want if this terrible event should occur.

[BumRushDaShow]

50. R.I.P.

I finally got chance to see her movie "The Handmaiden's Tale" and now this happens. :-(

Rest in peace and my prayers go out to her family.

[Jefferson23]

52. This is too sad, RIP dear lady.

[tomm2thumbs]

53. very sad news

rest in peace

[Lavender Brown]

54. Rest in peace... another talented person lost too young

:cry:

[Wetzelbill]

55. A good person who I've never heard a bad word about

Natasha and Liam Neeson were always absolutely classy people. This is a sad day, tragic. And to die from a seemingly innocuous accident, it goes to show you that it can happen to anybody and we can never be too safe. My condolences to her family, friends, loved ones and fans.

RIP, Natasha, you will be missed.

[radiclib]

57. This is a horrible tragedy

My heart breaks for Liam and the boys. A lovely, elegant lady in the prime of life.
Unfair in the extreme.

[housewolf]

59. Oh that is SO sad....

She was such a wonderful actress. What a shocking, tragic accident.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[MillieJo]

60. The BBC just broke the news..,, so it is true this time...

It must be an unbelieveable shock to her family, it has shock many of us that have watched this tragedy unfold...
RIP Natasha, you will be missed..

[Stargazer09]

61. I had been hoping for a better outcome

I guess I wanted a happy ending to all of this. I had hoped that all of the secrecy was just a way to preserve the family's privacy while she recovered, instead of a prelude to her death.

She seemed like a really nice person, and I'm sure she will be sorely missed by all who knew her.

:cry:

[skoalyman]

63. me too rip

;(

[shadowknows69]

65. .........

;( :cry:

[Qanisqineq]

66. I find this incredibly sad

I didn't know her but yet I am tearing up. I was hoping she would recover even though I figured it wasn't good if they were sending her back to New York while so seriously injured.

:cry:

[superconnected]

67. Very tragic.

I wasn't expecting this.

Condolences to the family. Rest in peace Natasha.

[DKRC]

68. Our condolences to her family, loved ones & friends

[Darth_Kitten]

72. I'm sorry, that's way too young.........

:(

[bluedeminredstate]

74. Such a loss for her family.

I've always admired Liam Neeson and her as a couple. He must be absolutely heartbroken. Her poor mother and children! It's hard to believe that she was walking around after the fall only to end up on life support hours later. My sympathies to those who loved her.
I hope the vultures in the press will leave her family alone and take their cameras and go home.

[depakid]

75. Talk and die syndrome

[Swede]

81. It kinda sounds like what happened to Brittanie Cecil.

She was hit by a hockey puck,and seemed ok. She died 2 days later. Here is the link.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittanie_Cecil

[depakid]

95. I knew someone who fell off a bike (not wearing a helmet)

Went home, seemed fine and then after dinner his mental state declined, his wife took him to the ER and he was dead by the next morning.

Epidural hematoma.

Needless to say, I never ride without a helmet.

[marasinghe]

78. go in peace Natasha

so hard for that poor guy, Liam; believe he is totally in love with his wife.
and for the Kids; and for that lovely, liberal lady, her mother Vanessa - who spoke for the Palestinians long before it was the fashion.
saw Natasha in "Cabaret" on Broadway - she did a marvelous job, even with the great Alan Cumming running away with the 'Emcee' role; they more than matched up to Liza & Joel Gray.
really nice & decent folks, all of them - and the worst that could have happened.

[AnnieBW]

79. How awful!

I didn't know her work outside of "Nell", but I've been a big fan of Liam Neeson's for years. Goddess bless him and their sons.

[Mari333]

80. I am thinking of her mother. nt

[liam_laddie]

84. RIP, Natasha

She co-starred in "Blow Dry," a 2001 film which didn't get the buzz it should have. An excellent cast with Rachel Griffiths, Bill Nighy, Alan Rickman, others. A delightful movie, a good way to remember her talent and beauty.
:grouphug:

[bdamomma]

85. very sad,

:(

[Barrymores Ghost]

86. I am heartbroken and crying...

I am a theatre and film grad who has tracked her career since I first saw her onstage in the West End, and this really hurts. She deserved far more and better roles than she'd received, yet she was a formidable presence in all, and those who know her work recognize her for the incredible talent she was.

My deepest sympathies go out to Liam, their children and family and all who adored her work.

[CHIMO]

88. Paramedics turned away in Richardson accident: official

A potentially life-saving ambulance was dispatched to the ski hill where actress Natasha Richardson suffered a critical fall on Monday, but the emergency workers were turned away and told they weren't needed, a paramedic says.

Yves Coderre, director of operations at the company which sent the medics to Mont Tremblant, says ski patrollers requested an ambulance after Ms. Richardson had fallen and suffered serious injuries.

The medical workers rushed to the hill but told they were unneeded, Mr. Coderre said in an interview, citing preliminary information he has received.

“They never saw the patient,” said Mr. Coderre, whose company, Ambulances Radisson, serves Mont Tremblant. “So they turned around.”

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20090318.wrichardsontremblant0318/BNStory/Front

Sad. Very sad. Whether earlier intervention would have helped we may never know.
Head injuries must be treated very carefully.

[bottomtheweaver]

119. Told by whom I wonder?

If "they never saw the patient," it wasn't Richardson who sent them away.

[bottomtheweaver]

120. 'Many were perplexed how such a critical injury could have occurred

on the “green” (beginner)-level hill. But others say the conditions on Monday were far from ideal and could have confounded a novice.'

But from the same article:

'Ms. Richardson's tumble on the slopes was the talk of the ski hill at Mont Tremblant Tuesday, which was bathed in the same soft sunshine and spring-like snow conditions that Ms. Richardson had been enjoying before her accident.'

The conditions sound fairly ideal to me. If her mother wasn't Vanessa Redgrave, I'd be more inclined to believe this tragic accident was just another fluke.

[Mari333]

89. The face of her mother says it all....

arriving to see her daughter.

[Mrs. Overall]

98. Darn, held in tears until this post. So very sad and tragic.

[Mari333]

126. shes 72 yrs old.

I know how she feels. I am not that old, but it will probably be the end of her, its that devastating. I would have rather they didnt take pics of her, but they did. I was wondering about her thru all this. I have always enjoyed her acting since I was young. The pic does, however, speak a huge truth.

[MilesColtrane]

108. Nobody needs to see that.

Really, how could a picture of a grieving relative increase our knowledge of such an event?

Everyone already knows that her family is devastated.

It's like the way the TV networks zoomed in on the anguished families in the reviewing stand after the Columbia explosion and replayed their reactions over and over.

The media can be sick, fucking vultures sometimes.

[Maat]

90. Rest in peace, Ma'am.

May your protective energy surround Liam, your family, and, particularly your boys, from the Great Beyond, for eternity.

Healing and comforting energy to the family (they are in our thoughts and prayers).

This is so sad.

[NikolaC]

91. How Terribly Sad

My heart goes out to her husband, sons and family:(. May she rest in peace.

[KT2000]

92. Peace to her loved ones

it must be very difficult for them to make sense of such a sad thing.
very sad.

100. that is so sad, and tragic

my beloved BIL died suddenly on a ski slope in Colorado 4 weeks ago, of a heart attack...I am sad all over again :-(

115. my condolences to you and your family

:hug:

[BuddhaGirl]

132. thank you very much!

:hug:

[BrklynLiberal]

101. That is just so very, very sad. I cannot imagine how devastated her family must be.

Vanessa Redgrave has to do that which no parent should ever have to do...bury a child. :cry:
Her husband and children ...... there are no words.

[nickyt]

103. This feels like a combination of the death of Eric Clapton's 3-year-old son in the

early nineties, Princess Diana's death, and the terrible loss of Heath Ledger.

I remember thinking, upon hearing the bizarre and shocking news of the death of Eric's son, Conor, that d a m n - it's as if "God" (or - whoever) really, really wanted that child, and this was the best "God" could do, because falling out of that window was just - crazy. It was insane.

I was never all that "attached" to Diana, but - she was royalty, as is the Richardson family, and she left behind two young sons, as well as her mother...similarly, I have never been a huge "fan" of Natasha, but now tonight I am so deeply moved by this tragedy, and the enormity of my grief is very surprising to me, as was my reaction to Diana's death.

And Heath, for me, was a horrible, 100% unacceptable nightmare of losing both a stellar, breathtaking talent AND - from what I could tell - a really terrific human being, as was Natasha.

Hey, you know - I love you guys, my DU brothers and sisters - I know we are holding dear ones a little tighter tonight...

"And we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun"
Good Lord, and Lennon too...(*sigh*)

[specimenfred1984]

106. This is really sad, my thoughts go out to her family

Usually, I don't care too much about hugely publicized celebrity events but this tragic accident is awful and, I'm sure, incomprehensible to her loved ones.

[Jennicut]

107. Natasha was in one of my favorite movies Blow Dry with Alan Rickman

Ironically, she was dying of cancer in the movie and was keeping it a secret from her girlfriend but enlisted the help of her ex husband (Rickman). Great movie. I really became a fan of her after I saw it. RIP Natasha and her entire family is in my prayers tonight. I have not seen something so sad in a long, long time. She and Liam Neeson seemed like such a happy couple and I feel for their two kids.

[MrsBrady]

109. I had a friend die like this

so this is upsetting.

[DesertRat]

116. I'm so sorry, this must bring it all back to you

110. She was wonderful.

[Canuckistanian]

117. That was a shock

After hearing she was basically fine after the accident....

She left us too soon.

[bottomtheweaver]

118. Her mother is very politically active and outspoken in the cause of peace.

This is disturbing.

[Robeson]

121. Awful news. Just awful.

[Norrin Radd]

122. Peace to her and her family and friends.

[qanda]

123. I keep wishing they could turn back time and have her go straight to the hospital

So tragic. I think Liam is great and feel so bad for him and the children. My condolences to all those who loved her.

[nonconformist]

124. This just breaks my heart.

[Genoveseboy]

125. I don't know Natasha

Sorry but Rest in peace anyway.

[moez]

127. It's especially tragic

because she was so attractive.
