When I saw Natasha Richardson in The Handmaid's Tale, I said, "She's the actress I want them to cast as me in the movie of my life." I really, really, really adore her.

God, I want her to be okay.

I've been refreshing Google News all night long. I've never been quite so affected by something happening to someone I never met, but Natasha Richardson is one half of my favorite celebrity couple (possibly my only favorite celebrity couple.) Makes me wish I still believed prayer was any good.

I've been scared every time I go to yahoo news.

I have done nothing but refresh news sites all day. I've adored her for years - she's a beautiful, talented, classy lady, and I'm finding this really distressing.

Yes, that's exactly how I feel.

And she's got two little kids, too. This is awful.

God, yes, on top of all that.

Times like this I hate working in the news industry. I'm hearing about this and the Josef Fritzl case and nothing else today. Regional news is empty.

*sends comforting vibes*

On another note... always remember to be your own actress in the movie of your life. *hugs*

Oh, I don't want to play me--I want to direct :D

Aaaaaah. Okay, that works. :D

As do I. I've also been obsessively refreshing my news feeds for updates. Maybe no news is good news?

I was really hoping she'd be chosen to play Narcissa in HBP/DH :(

I was hoping for her to play Mrs. Coulter in The Golden Compass--she did the abridged audiobook of that and she'll always be my image of Mrs. Coulter.

I have my fingers crossed for her too.

I actually still want to grow up to be Vanessa Redgrave.

No matter how old we are there should always be someone we want to grow up to be.

I feel the same, although I fear the worst.
It was kind of a silly role, but I adore her in The Parent Trap. The scene where she gets tipsy in anticipation of meeting her ex-husband again after a long time apart is just hilarious and perfect. She is a wonderful dramatic actress, but her flair for comedy is really special.

I'm getting to the point where I feel like I mustn't expect good news. I hate this.

I've been a huge Liam fan for years. I've been impressed and heartened by the fact that 15 years on, they still seemed to be very much in love. I keep checking my Google News alerts, hoping that the direction will change.

I knew she and Neeson were married but I somehow managed to forget it until this piece of news. Isn't that mad?

A friend of mine up here just finished filming scenes with her husband - that's why they were in Canada. We're all talking about it here today and hoping that she's okay.

The lack of anything heartening is, well, distressing.

Sadly the news I just read is that she has passed.

Oh I hope she'll be okay.

Yeah, this is a strange one, isn't it? After her fall, supposedly she was fine and walked back to her hotel under her own power, and it wasn't until later she collapsed. I guess the mystery makes it more frightening to think about.

I'm sure she's getting the best possible medical care, but yes, it is distressing to see people you like and admire undergo such misfortune.

Brains is so STOOPID. Brains should tell you right away if you need help, dammit.

Well, brains don't have pain sensors, so if they're in trouble they can't tell us. They're not so much stupid as mute.

Yeah, I saw the news today and I'm crushed. She was such an amazing actor. Tragic.
