On Monday March 16th, stage and screen star actress Natasha Richardson fell on the slopes of Mont Tremblant in Montreal, Canada on Monday during a skiing lesson. At first, she claimed to have felt fine and shrugged off the accident. She was taken later that day to a hospital after feeling unwell. On Tuesday March 17th, Richardson's condition worsened and she was flown to a hospital in New York for further treatment. She was later reported as braindead. On Wednesday, family members of Richardson, including her husband Liam Neeson, agreed to turn off the life support machine that Natasha was on. Richardson died several hours later.
The official autospy concluded that Richardson had died of "blunt impact to the head." In the wake of this tragic loss, the celebrities of Hollywood and Broadway alike have banded together in this time of sorrow. The Broadway theatres dimmed their lights before their performances last night in tribute to the fallen star. Hollywood stars like Helen Mirren, Sarah Jessica Parker, Meryl Streep, Judi Dench, Mathew Broderick, among others have given their condolences to Richardson's husband Liam Neeson and their two children.
Producers of Liam Neeson's current film "Chloe" have agreed to postpone shooting until Neeson is ready to return. Natasha Richardson appeared most notably in "Maid in Manhattan", "Asylum", "The Parent Trap," and other notable films. Our condolences go out to all those affected by this tragedy.
