 |
Edited on Wed Mar-18-09 08:15 PM by NYC Liberal
Source: Entertainment WeeklyNatasha Richardson, the versatile actress known for her nuanced performances on stage, television, and film, has died. She had suffered a traumatic brain injury in a skiing accident in Canada on Monday, March 16, and was later transported to New York, where she passed away at age 45.

CNN, MSNBC, etc. have banners on their site but here's an actual link. 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.

OMG, I can't believe she died. |

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.

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.

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.

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.

| 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.

| 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.

| 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.

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.

| 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.

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.

| 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

| 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.2009... Sad. Very sad. Whether earlier intervention would have helped we may never know. Head injuries must be treated very carefully.

| 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.

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.

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.

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.

| 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. Her husband and children ...... there are no words.

| 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*)

| 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.

| 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.

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