Natasha Richardson may have suffered brain damage in a tragic skiing accident, American and Irish news sources are reporting.
The actress, who was due to star alongside her mother, Vanessa Redgrave, on Broadway soon, was on holiday in Canada when the accident happened. Husband Liam Neeson has left the film set where he was working to be by her side.
