    One of the great modern actresses (Liam Neeson's wife, daughter of Vanessa Redgrave) may have suffered a serious brain injury in a skiing accident.

    That's sad. Hope she recovers fully.

    Oh, goddammit.
    I met her once on a movie set on which Neeson was filming. (And, yes, he's every bit as good a bloke as you might expect. And his effect on women is otherworldly.) She was smart and good-natured, and she looked great in a baseball hat. They genuinely seemed to love each other.
    All kinds of prayers here.

    I hope this turns out the best it possibly can.

    Note to self - never try to ski ever again.

    Very few details. Let's hope this is not as serious as some reports are making it out tobe.

    Some outlets (perezhilton, several twitter feeds with links) are reporting the worst. I say that hoping that this doesn't turn into another posthumous argument about sources and such.

    Time Out NY reported earlier that Natasha Richardson died. Now they are backing off that and saying that their source says she is brain dead and not expected to survive. TMZ reports she is en route, via private jet and with a team of medics to another hospital.

    Does anyone have the time to set up a website that records these false reports? Every major story seems to have one huge error (scoop).

    Not the point right now. Just got to send out good wishes for her.

    If she is brain dead, there is no "expected" about it.
