Natasha Richardson's Tragedy, And More...

[calliopes_pen]

Forrest J. Ackerman filmed a farewell message a couple of days before he passed away. You can watch it here.

Natasha Richardson (wife of Liam Neeson) may or may not be in a coma. She may or may not be brain dead. She may or may not have a slight cough--that last one was apparently according to one Canadian site, from what I’ve heard on a couple of shows. Whatever turns out to be the case, my best wishes go out to both her, and her family. There have been too many conflicting reports on her condition.

I didn’t think I had ever heard of her before, but according to IMDB she was in the Jeremy Brett version of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The episode was The Copper Beeches, and she played Violet Hunter. Which means I would have seen her at some point when the episode was shown on A&E in the 90’s, back when they used to show it.

On a less morbid note, looks like someone’s intrigued (in the comments) by two of my prompts over at multific. The Martha as an Immortal one, and the prompt about Donna and the pie that frenchroast gave me.

That they bothered to move her from Montreal to New York is not a good sign. In all likelihood, since he was fine after the accident, something bled in her head and culminated in the aftermath. If she had simple swelling, I have a hard time believing that they'd move her. But her kids and mother are in NYC, so it's telling that they'd want her near them.

I feel really bad for her husband. I mean, who knows when they last saw each other? He is on location, probably said, "Oh, I'll see you in a few weeks," and that was the end of it, you know?

I'll hope for the best, anyway.

Richardson has died. :( RIP. Her husband just released a statement through his publicist.
