Natasha Richardson has been critically injured in a skiing accident in Canada.
The English actress and wife of Irish native Liam Neeson suffered a traumatic brain injury. Richardson was due to appear next year in a Broadway revival of A Little Night Music alongside her mother, Vanessa Redgrave.
It's yet to be determined whether or not Neeson is with Richardson at the Montreal hospital where she is being treated. The Oscar-nominated actor has had his own run-in with injury; Neeson suffered a broken pelvis in 2000 after his motorcycle collided with a deer outside New York City.
In addition to her scheduled stage performance, Richardson's TV and film credits include Evening, Maid in Manhattan and The Parent Trap, in which she starred opposite Dennis Quaid — and co-parented a pre-pubescent Lindsay Lohan.
TMZ is reporting that she has brain swelling and is not brain dead. Obviously, I don't know what is going on but I hope the best for her and her family. I love her as an actress.
weird too in that she was on a beginners course. Had a pro ski instructor with her. Made it to a flat area before falling. Walked about laughing and talking for about an hour before saying she had a headache. THEN was taken to the hospital. None of that sounds so drastic but the reports are sounding severe.

She wasn't wearing a helmet and even if the fall didn't seem severe any kind of hard knock to the skull can be damaging. Brain injuries are tricky.
At first I didn't know who she was. Her husband is Liam Nelson. Not spelled right I know. Her MOm is Venessa Redgrave I think. I guess she was fine for like an hour and then things went bad. I think it sounds pretty bad.
