Liam Neeson's Film "Chloe" Won't Stop Production

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 21:05:00 GMT

Liam Neeson was in Canada filming his latest movie, "Chloe" when he left the set to be at wife Natasha Richardson's side after her tragic skiing accident. That crew of that film, Atom Egoyan's Chloe, is devastated over the death of Richardson but says they will continue with production. The filming will focus on scenes that don’t need Neeson, who is understandably still in mourning.

“There are some scenes with Liam Neeson which have not been completed, (but) we do not feel this is the time to address that matter,” says a statement. "The entire cast and crew of Chloe are bereft. Our hearts go out to Liam and his family at this difficult time."

“I had the opportunity to meet Natasha at the opening of the play I did with Liam in New York last year,” said director Egoyan. “Her intense pride and affection for her husband was so clear, as was his passion and love for her. I’m so devastated for Liam’s loss.”

I'm sure the film will only bring up sad memories for Neeson and sons Michael and Daniel after all that has happened. If Neeson does return to the set, no doubt his sons will be with him. Richardson once said in an interview that her and Neeson carefully plan their work schedules around their sons. "We try and take time so that we don't leave our children without one parent being there for them.”

A grieving Liam Neeson gathered with family, friends and loved ones on Friday afternoon for a wake for his wife Natasha Richardson. The private viewing took place at the American Irish Historical Society on Manhattan's Upper Side two days after Richardson's tragic death following a ski accident in Canada.

The service was presumed to be the "traditional Irish wake" that Neeson had spoken of the night before, when he had attended the Broadway tribute to his late wife.

Besides Neeson and his two sons Michael and Daniel, Richardson's mother Vanessa Redgrave and sister, Joely Richardson also attended.

Other mourners included Diane Sawyer, Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Lauren Bacall, Howard Stern, Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, Matthew Modine and Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Mathilde Krim, a longtime Richardson friend and founding chairman of the AIDS research organization amfAR, described the wake as "very respectful." Krim tearfully told People magazine that Richardson, looked "beautiful, incredibly beautiful" in her casket.

According to reports, the family was planning to bury Richardson during a private funeral service in Millbrook, NY, where she belonged to St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church.

Natasha Richardson: Beloved Wife and Mother

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 14:50:00 GMT

The tragedy of Natasha Richardson's untimely death is so hard to comprehend. We all grieve for her husband, Liam Neeson, who was married to Natasha for almost fifteen years. After surviving a horrific motorcycle crash in 2000, Neeson said of his wife, "I could have died - but Natasha's love gave me the strength to pull through."

Natasha was a devoted mother to her two sons, Michael, 13, and Daniel Jack, 12, who she is pictured with above. She spoke about how her and Neeson would plan their work schedules so that the boys would never be left alone. "It would be inconceivable that I go off and do a movie in China, while Liam goes off and does a movie in Bulgaria. We just wouldn't be able to do that; we wouldn't do it to them.

"We try and take time so that we don't leave our children without one parent being there for them.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Neeson, Michael and Daniel and the rest of their family and loved ones.

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.

We've heard all the conflicting reports about Natasha Richardson's condition since she was flown to a New York and Lenox Hill Hospital.

TMZ has reported that they received information from her ambulance ride that confirms her condition as brain dead.

The source says, "Natasha was unconscious, pale skin, non-reactive pupils and she was suffering from major head trauma."

Her husband Liam was said to have caressed her face, but remained silent during the ride.

It's also reported that when the plane landed in New Jersey the medics from the plane told the ambulance team that Natasha was "brain dead".

I absolutely loved her in Parent Trap, she will be missed.

I hope it's not true, but I have a bad feeling in the pit of stomach.

This story is so tragic, and hard to report. According to the New York Post, Natasha Richardson is brain dead and will soon be taken off of life support. The report says that she is being transported to New York this afternoon so that her mom, two sons and other loved ones can say goodbye. As reported earlier, Richardson was critically injured in a skiing accident in Montreal, Canada - husband Liam Neeson was in Toronto shooting a film.

The thought of the couple's sons having to say goodbye to their mother is unbearable. Eldest son Michael, 13, was with his mother in Montreal where the accident occurred, while younger son Daniel, 12 was in New York.

Along with her husband and sons, Richardson is expected to have mom Vanessa Redgrave, aunt Lynn Redgrave and sister Joely Richardson at her side. Richardson also remained close friends with her ex-husband Robert Fox and he is expected to make the journey as well.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family at this incredibly difficult time.

TMZ is reporting that, contrary to media reports, Natasha Richardson is sedated and suffering from brain swelling but is not brain dead. They say the actress is being moved to a new hospital - they are speculating the location is New York City. According to reports, she has been transported from the hospital in Canada by ambulance and has been boarded onto a private jet. That jet was scheduled to take off from Montreal-Trudeau Airport.

Time Out New York had reported earlier that Richardson had died from her injuries but has since retracted. They are reporting, however, that the actress is "brain dead" and is not expected to survive.

Let's hope that for the sake of her family members, especially her young sons, that the rumors are kept to a minimum.

We'll keep you posted.

Details of Natasha Richardson's Skiing Accident

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 16:22:00 GMT

As is being reported, actress Natasha Richardson was seriously injured in a skiing accident in Canada yesterday and was taken to a Montreal hospital with serious head injuries. Now TMZ is reporting the details of that accident.

From TMZ:

We're told she was having a private lesson on a green slope (beginner) at a ski resort in Quebec, Canada. She fell -- we're not sure why. There was no blood and no sign of impact. Two ski patrollers came to her rescue. When they got there she was conscious -- smiling and making jokes.

An hour later, Natasha started to complain of a headache and said she didn't feel well. Someone called 911 from the ski resort and she was taken to the hospital. She was conscious when she left the resort.

Richardson, the daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave, is married to actor Liam Neeson. This must be an incredibly difficult time for the whole family, particularly the couple's two young sons Micheál,13, and Daniel, 12. Our thoughts go out to all of them.
