Natasha's legacy on Broadway will be honored tonight. All the Marquees will be dimmed for one minute at 8 pm et.

"The Broadway community is shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic loss of one of our finest young actresses, Natasha Richardson. Her theatrical lineage is legendary, but her own singular talent shined memorably on any stage she appeared."

Natasha Richardson's Family Fight and Hope

Whit Honea — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 19:10:00 GMT

Natasha Richardson has been surrounded by family at Lenox Hill hospital in New York City since being severely injured while skiing in Canada.

According to Yahoo: Representatives for Richardson, 45, and her husband actor Liam Neeson repeatedly declined to comment on the severity of her injury, but the New York Times reported the actress was in "a serious condition with head injuries."

Television footage showed Richardson's mother, actress and activist Vanessa Redgrave, sister, television star Joely Richardson, and aunt, actress Lynn Redgrave, arriving at the Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan overnight.

Photos also showed two boys -- identified by local media as Richardson's sons with Neeson, Daniel Jack, 12, and Michael, 13 -- leaving the hospital early on Wednesday. The couple own homes in Manhattan and Millbrook, New York, north of the city.

The 45-year-old actress is still in critical condition and visitors have been paying their respects around-the-clock.

According to Gossip Girls: One Richardson family member told press, “I’m hoping to hear from Liam [Neeson] with good news. I’m really anxious. I feel sick to the pit of my stomach. I just hope she is going to be OK, I really do.

“We’re doing our best to stay up-to-date on what’s happening, but it’s difficult when they know so little themselves,” the family member continued. “We’re a strong family, and Natasha is part of that family. We’re good at putting up a fight.”

Our continued thoughts to Natasha and her family.

David Cameron is the popular leader of the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom.

He and his family have suffered a terrible tragedy.

Their eldest son, six-year-old Ivan, died early this morning.

According to Hello magazine Ivan had cerebral palsy and epilepsy. He fell ill Tuesday night "and was taken to St Mary's hospital where he died early Wednesday."

David and his wife Samantha also have a daughter, Nancy, and a son named Arthur.

From Hello: "Prime Minister Gordon Brown was one of the first to send condolences, saying the prayers of the country were with the family. "I know Ivan was a child who brought joy to all those who knew him and his was a life surrounded by love," he added."

Very sad. Our thoughts to the Cameron family during this awful time.

Natascha McElhone Shows Off Baby Boy for First Time

Karl Erikson — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 22:38:00 GMT

Actress Natascha McElhone, most recently seen in the series "Californication," lost her husband recently after a sudden death from heart attack. And she was pregnant at the time. Since then, she's had the baby, Rex, who was born in October.

Natascha showed up to her latest movie premiere - "Heaven and Earth" - with Rex in tow and showed him off to the press for the first time. She brought her other sons, too - Theo, 8, and Otis, 5.

Cute family, yeah? I really enjoy Natascha's films, ever since "Ronin." Sad, losing her husband when he was only 42. Wish her all the best.

Michael Crichton Passed Away

trix — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 18:46:00 GMT

Jurassic Park and ER creator Michael Crichton passed away after fighting a very private war against cancer.

His family told ET, "While the world knew him as a great storyteller that challenged our preconceived notions about the world around us -- and entertained us all while doing so -- his wife Sherri, daughter Taylor, family and friends knew Michael Crichton as a devoted husband, loving father and generous friend who inspired each of us to strive to see the wonders of our world through new eyes. He did this with a wry sense of humor that those who were privileged to know him personally will never forget."

Mr. Crichton's death came unexpectedly to us and his family. We send our heartfelt condolences to the family. It's always hard to lose someone, unexpected or not.
