UPDATE TO THIS POST:The reports that she was brain dead have been confirmed.Ms. Richardson has passed away on Mar. 18 at the age of 45.It's so sad & I pray for her family's endurance through this very tough time.The original post is below.

I really like Natasha Richardson as an actress! I liked her in "Maid In Manhattan" & "The Parent Trap"! She's a very refined & elegant lady.And I had no idea that she came from a family of esteemed actors! Her mother is Vanessa Redgrave,who is one of the finest actresses around.

Ms. Richardson has been seriously injured in a skiing accident.There are mixed reports about the status of her condition.Here's more on that from CBC:

"The medical condition of actress Natasha Richardson — who fell Monday during a ski lesson at a Quebec resort — was being described Tuesday as anywhere from minor to life-threatening.

Friends of the British actress said she was "brain dead," according to the New York Post.

Early reports from People.com and IrishCentral.com said Richardson — a member of an esteemed British acting dynasty — suffered a serious head injury. Some Hollywood "insider" websites suggest Richardson has swelling of the brain.

Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for the Mont Tremblant ski resort said Richardson suffered what initially appeared to be a relatively unspectacular fall.

Montreal's Sacré-Coeur hospital confirmed that Richardson had left the facility on Tuesday, but a hospital spokeswoman declined to comment on the extent of her injuries or where she was transferred.

A person close to the family later confirmed that the actress is now in New York City, according to the Associated Press. That person offered no further details.

A family representative will release a statement Wednesday, the hospital spokeswoman said.

According to online reports, Richardson, 45, was transferred via private jet to New York, with her husband, actor Liam Neeson, by her side."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
