Natasha Richardson Update

Photobucket

From Ted Casablanca of E!Online:
“Her body’s being flown back to New York,” good friends to gravely injured Natasha Richardson tell me. “They would not put her on a plane with the air pressure changes if she had brain swelling and was still alive. It is so sad.”

Not sure about the medical science here, but it seems to make sense. I know Tash socially, and I’ve always adored her. She’s a gutsy, classy Brit babe who remained upper crust and crusty in the same breath—always admired that about her.

A close New York friend to Richardson, 45, just told me the hideous news about the plane flight and other depressing gab that’s currently being shot ‘round Manhattan between some of Richardson’s closet pals and colleagues. Also, one of the producers of Natasha’s upcoming Broadway show, A Little Night Music, which N.R. was supposed to perform with her mom, Vanessa Redgrave, has been informed Richardson is “brain dead.”

Reps for Richardson are not, as yet, commenting.

May be peace be with you, Tash.

I didn't really know who she was from your first post and picture. With this picture, I think I realize ~ the mom in Parent Trap with LiLo, right?

So terrible!

She was also in Nell with Jodi Foster, she met her husband doing that film. So sad.
