I'm feeling very strong-willed at this moment: I did NOT click on either of nearthestage's FoxNews links.
I agree with pianolin: It is NOT her time yet.
MissP--we will be reading on this board very soon about how you brought your daughter to see Natasha in A Little Night Music and about much she loved it.

A statement is expected from her family tomorrow.
Sadly, it's not looking good. Every article I'm finding says the same thing.
Friends of Natasha Richardson Mourning

You're very quick Eris. I just came over here to post that link, for some to read...or not.
Yes, it seems that the world's press sat on it a bit today, but is less reluctant to print what was going around earlier.
Just because it isn't official, doesn't make it any less likely or true. I suppose it just may make some feel better, for a while anyway.
Again, I don't wish ill of her, quite the opposite, but I'm not one to ignore likely possibility simply because an official status is lacking. If things turn out untrue, all the better.
Edited for typos.

well, I saw on People the same thing.. :/ so sad
and I just love this video of her... it shows just how respectable she is, and if it is true, she WILL be missed
Natasha & Liam Neeson talking about Eugene O'Neill
I hope these reports turn out to be untrue. But there are so many of them. Could they all be wrong? I have my hope but, sadly, it's looking less and less likely she'll pull out of it.
Fears grow for Natasha Richardson after skiing accident

And how freakish I just so happened I was watching Maid in Manhattan on Saturday for the first time in probably a couple of years.
(With another strange coincidence that I happened to be watching it with the mother of one the extras who was one of the backup singers in the band at the gala in it and I had no idea they were related. What strange fate.)

Hopefully the hospital told them right. I really hope she pulls through, such an amazing actress and woman.
The LA Times is throwing their hat in the ring now.
Unconfirmed reports: Natasha Richardson is brain dead
TMZ hasn't been updated in 7 hours. More recent reports all say "brain dead" unfortunately.
I really hope they're wrong, such a wonderful and gifted woman, it would be a travesty to lose her in such a freak accident way. And I can't even imagine how the family is feeling.
Hope to god this is not true.
I don't care what every outlet is saying, it's speculation.
I don't believe a word until I hear something official.
It doesn't matter how sad, tragic, or sordid the story is, the media thrives on nothing but shady negativity. We don't know what's going on, sources are just heresay, no matter who they're labeled as.
Just hope, pray and wait.

CNN --Larry King is covering it.
the only thing we know for sure (besides that the incident happened) is that the family is going to release a statement tomorrow, so, until then, we cannot believe everything as the truth
Report: Natasha Richardson dead at 45

I think I read that OK story was removed that they cite.
AP is saying someone tells them she's in town now. Though someone on Larry King brought up and interesting point...they say she's coming to NY, but not necessarily that she's in/going to a hospital. Could mean something or nothing.

My heart stopped when I heard this. She is genuine beautiful and brilliant performer. I hope these reports are exaggerations. It would be a unbearable tragedy for the the theatre and the show biz in general to lose such a phenomenal thespian.
"AP is saying someone tells them she's in town now. Though someone on Larry King brought up and interesting point...they say she's coming to NY, but not necessarily that she's in/going to a hospital. Could mean something or nothing."
I noticed that myself. They're either keeping the name of the hospital/treatment center out of the presses because the family wants their privacy or she's not at any sort of facility.
I won't believe any of these news reports--like that UPI report--until they cite a named source.
Until then, they're just recycling the same old hearsay.
I'm not too quick to believe any of these awful news reports, but I'm just praying for her and her poor family.
This is new...
Natasha Richardson 'suffered blood clot' after skiing fall, experts say
A big part of me really doesn't want to believe any of these awful reports, but as they pile up it becomes increasingly difficult to. I will wait until something is released from the family and, until then, just keep her in my prayers. Either way, it's a real tragedy and such a random event.
