Natasha Richardson 'critically injured' in skiing accident
Actor Natasha Richardson was said to be in a critical condition in hospital today after being badly injured in a skiing accident in Canada.
She reportedly suffered a brain injury and has been transferred to a Montreal hospital having first been treated near the luxury Mont Tremblant resort in Quebec.
Her husband, actor Liam Neeson, flew from filming in Toronto to be with Richardson, 45, following the accident yesterday.
The website Irish Central quoted a spokesman for the film as telling Canadian television: "We don't have any details at this time but we hope for the best and our thoughts and prayers are with Natasha and Liam and their family."
The Montreal Gazette said this morning that a staff member at Sacré-Coeur hospital in Montreal confirmed Richardson had been in its intensive care unit on Monday night but was no longer there at 11pm.
A hospital spokesman later told the Guardian he had checked a list of patients and Richardson's name was not there.
Kika Markham, the wife of Richardson's uncle, Corin Redgrave, said: "We know that she has had an accident but we really do not know any more details. We are very concerned."
She said the family wanted to be left alone.
Richardson's agents, London-based ICM, said: "We don't have any comment."
The upmarket resort, in the Laurentian mountains about 80 miles north-west of Montreal, is regularly voted the best skiing resort in eastern north America.
Richardson, daughter of Vanessa Redgrave and the late film director Tony Richardson, married Neeson in 1994 after they both appeared in the film Nell. They have two sons.
She won a Tony award for best actress for her role as Sally Bowles in Cabaret on Broadway in 1998 and her film credits include The Parent Trap and The Handmaid's Tale. In January, she and her mother played together in a one-night benefit version in New York of A Little Night Musicby Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler. Neeson has been working on the film Chloe with Julianne Moore.

Re: Natasha Richardson 'critically injured' in skiing accident
I was just watching the news and they said that she might have some swelling in the brain and dont know if she is going to be ok , They want to take her off life support. I pray she makes a full recovery.When the accident first happened she felt fine and was talking than she felt dizzy and they took her to a hospital and when she started feeling worse they flew her to a hospital in New york.

I was watching FOX 5 and they reported she was brought back to NY. But they didn't say which hospital.
They reported she was brought back here to be taken off life support.
This just hits so close to home, I was crying watching the report.
I just wish the family would make a statement so their is a CONFIRMED report out there.
