onflicting reports about Natasha Richardson’s condition after yesterday’s ski accident. Personally, I’m holding onto the stories that have The White Countess star walking to her room and laughing for some time after the fall, before entering the hospital complaining of headaches. The NY Post has jumped to the worst conclusions, but TMZ has sources who say Ms. Richardson is sedated with brain swelling.
Natasha Richardson and Liam Neeson met as the stars of the 1993 revival of "Anna Christie" at what was then the Criterion Center. At the time, Richardson was married to producer Robert Fox, and Neeson was a perennial bachelor who had wooed stars such as Helen Mirren, Julia Roberts, Barbra Streisand and Brooke Shields. Soon they were New York City fixtures, who could frequently be seen at Cafe Luxembourg, an upper West Side bistro near their apartment or, when they started a family, taking their sons to swimming lessons.
