Best wishes to her family.

This was just one of those things that I thought was going to get better, because the news reports were so inconsistent. When I heard, I just had to hug my kids awake and tell them I loved them and called the wife at work and did the same.

Godspeed to her family, husband, and kids

Yeah, this sucks. No point in really saying any more than that.

Tragic...she was exceptional as Patty Hearst and will be missed.

This is so sad. Her and Liam Neeson just seemed like such a normal, wonderful couple, and to think of how he must feel just breaks my heart.

Very sad news.

Very, very sad news. My heart breaks for the family and what they're dealing with. Unexpected death always tears at the core of a family and I don't wish it upon my worst enemies.

I gave my husband big ole' extra kisses and lovin' this morning. Because news like this makes one realize how precious life is and how goddamn temporary life can be. No other way around it sometimes. Just a big bowl of suck.

The best man at our wedding lost his mother last Friday and I have a wake to go to this Friday. We plan to drink hard and long for her, and for all of us. Together.

Fuck.

shit... i wont be able to watch nip/tuck, atonement or liam neeson in love actually anymore itll all seem like it plays in to her story

R.I.P is all I can offer. A tragedy.

Jim, this morning, after processing this a bit, I began to think about Liam Neeson at the beginning of "Love, Actually".....processing his wife's death, leaving him with a young son, her funeral, etc. Now, it's real. How horrible for their family. How sudden and shocking that a woman, the same age as me, can simply fall one day, and pass away, leaving her family the next.

While "The Handmaid's Tale" is a very flawed film, she was luminous and brilliant in it. I am sure there were many, many more great roles ahead for her. My heart goes out to her family.

Everyone is saying this, but please, hug the people you love. Let them know you love them. Forgive the stupid, little, shitty things we do to each other every day. Enjoy what time you have. You never know if the simplest thing can come along and take it all away.

I had also hoped the media was moving too fast on this story (as they said she had died before she actually had) and am saddened for her family. Not only for her boys and her husband, but for her mother. I know how devastating is is to lose a parent, and at a very young age (we lost my dad when he was 50. I was 18, but my sibs were all younger), and I saw what my mom went through in losing her best friend and lover, but I cannot even begin to imagine how much it hurts to lose a child.

All I can do is send my condolences to the family, and love those close to me as hard as I can while we're all around.

She seemed like such a warm, vibrant woman and she and her husband obviously adored each other even after 15 years of marriage. Call me a sap, but I keep getting weepy everytime I see a photo of her. RIP Ms Richardson, you will be missed by many.

Terribly sad.

Oh no he didn't!

Most of you have already been apprised of this, but Natasha Richardson passed away today, from complications arising from a skiing accident. Her husband, Liam Neeson — through a publicist — released this statement: “Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time.”

Poor Qui Gon/Oscar Schindler/Ras Al Ghul.

This is why skiing is bad. If I have kids, there will be three rules that they must follow:

1. No football (including Rugby).
2. No skiing (including snowboarding).
3. No acting (one or two school plays is acceptable, but no more).

Incredibly sad news. Like most of you out there, I thought of Liam Neeson in Love, Actually as well. I don't think anyone will be able to listen to "Don't Worry Baby" the same way ever again. He and his wife looked perfect together, and it pains me to see someone so beautiful and so big of heart gone so quickly.

I hope the family recovers from this terrible tragedy, and sues the everloving shit out of the media, if only to make them realize how tastelessly they handled this situation. When the family didn't want to say anything, they just up and decided to declared her dead a half day before she actually died. Yeah, real classy you lot.

Did it really break your heart Pink Hulk? Enough for you to stop wearing that obnoxious feather boa around your neck?

I have to echo the strange feeling of watching Liam in "Love Actually," because I just watched it again last night for the millionth time. My heart goes out to the family.

Ok, I have to speak up because this is just getting fucking STUPID.

SKIING IS NOT BAD. SKIING IS NOT DANGEROUS. I have been skiing for 16 years and have never once had a serious accident. Skiing BECOMES dangerous when people take FOOLISH risks and go beyond their limits as a skier. SOOO many times I have heard of beginner skiers going off into the glades and getting killed. Glades are only meant for intermediate to expert skiers not beginners but that is just another clear cut example of people thinking they can do more than they can.

For the record, she was skiing on a green circle called Nansen at Mont. Tremblant. I've skied it several times, it's one of the longest runs in Canada in fact. She fell at the bottom and it was a MINOR fall, she was barely injured. What may have happened in fact is that she had a brain aneurysm and that is was merely a coincidence that she fell at all that day.

I cannot emphasize this enough, if you are an inexperienced skier wear a fucking helmet. Like I said skiing only becomes dangerous and lives are only ever put in danger as a result of someone else's stupid actions. Know your limits.

Sorry, this just really has me fired up. You won't let your kids ski? Are you serious? More deaths are caused per year by snowmobiling than skiing...did you know that? Maybe let your kids ski but fucking teach them how to do it properly. Sorry again. I'm mad.

Also, my thoughts go out to Liam Neeson, Vanessa Redgrave and Natasha's children.

This is such heartbreaking news. I thought she was a great, understated actress who didn't get the credit she deserved; most of the vehicles she did in recent years were for other actresses (JLo, Lohan, etc) but I thought she was a lovely, charming presence in her films.

RIP, Natasha. My prayers are with your family.

She was good in the Parent Trap and a few others... RIP Natasha
