    Yeah, it's official. The family made the announcement an hour ago, I think. The news is on CNN right now. RIP, Natasha. You'll be missed. :(

    Just read the shocking news. Still a young woman compared to the average length of life today. May she rest in peace. :(

    Yeah, just read the announcement a couple of minutes ago. Very sad -- I was really hoping she would recover.

    R.I.P. Ms. Richardson. :(

    My condolences to Liam Neeson, their children, and the rest of their family.

    RIP a wonderful talent and human being. Natasha Richardson was truly loved in the acting community and gave back so much, especially her time and effort with amfAR for AIDS research.

    Now boast thee, death, in thy possession lies
    A lass unparalleled.

    I feel especially bad for Vanessa Redgrave. No parent should have to bury his or her child. :( And those poor boys. I can't imagine losing a mother at that age.

    Sad news indeed, :(
    (she thought she was fine, the ski instuctors asked her to see a doctor, but she said she was fine.)
    R.I.P. Ms. Richardson.
    Condolences to her family.

    Wow. That really fucking sucks.

    We all knew it was coming. After "Bernie Mack recovering" suddenly became BERNIE MACK DEAD, I've assumed that a celebrity health problem is usually going to be fatal.

    I'm surprised Robin Williams is still kicking. Or maybe he's not. He could be on death's door and we don't know.

    You know, this will make watching Love Actually pretty hard, since Neeson was playing a widower with a young boy. :(

    I wonder if it was the fall that caused the injury or the injury that caused the fall...

    Terrible news. Just heard about her death. Feel bad for Liam Neeson, who I've admired for years. -- RR

    Re: Natasha Richardson suffers possible brain damage in serious ski ac

    I am not very familiar with her work, but I will look into it, as she seems to have been very admired.

    I feel sad any time something like this is reported, especially as it seems she had a wonderful and caring family.

    If anything positive can come out of this tragedy, perhaps someone will remember this when they get a seemingly minor head injury... and choose to see a doctor, just in case, rather than risk it. It's very easy to shrug off something if there's no obvious visual sign of trauma... but it's not worth the risk.

    Very sad indeed.

    Sun, always a liar. I'm not complaining this time around but i think its hilarious how all their character traits are still there
