Tony Award-winning British actress Natasha Richardson died today after suffering a head injury during a beginners' ski lesson Monday north of Montreal. She was 45.
Richardson, who had two sons with husband Liam Neeson, was the daughter of Academy Award-winning actress Vanessa Redgrave (at center in photo) and descended from at least three generations of actors. Also pictured is sister Joley Richardson (at right).
Newsweek, the NYT and the Times of London have remembrances.
I hope this accident underscores the importance of everyone wearing a helmet when skiing, snowboarding, riding your bike or whatever. Be safe.
