Oh! I knew that! I just didn't know who she was! The saddest thing about it is there's no "hook" to hang it on. Had this happened in Britain - the ambulance would have been too late - or the skiing instructor wouldn't have been up on his H&S and would have let her go when she said she felt fine in the first place, or the skis she had would have been second hand and faulty - or she'd have caught a bug from an MRSA riddled hospital. As it was - the instructor did it by the book and insisted she saw a doctor and she was rushed to hospital appropriately, but still she died! It makes it all the more unfair somehow. I read that she refused to see a doctor and even signed a waiver to that effect. What a sad sad story. Poor girl. I'm sure the family are devastated - as any family would be. Let's hope the press aren't too intrusive. Her poor boys - 12 and 13. It's weird how some things touch you and some don't, and you can't help which. For whatever reason, I am very sad about her dying. My sister is too, we were in contact a lot yesterday about it, perhaps there is some childhood thing going on or something. I think one of the reasons I am sad is that she and Neeson and the boys seemed to be a very happy and 'normal' family which is a rarity in the spotlight. It seems particularly 'unfair' for fate to attack a successful group. Mind you, it never would be 'fair' so I am talking rubbish I suppose. |

She wasn't particularly super-star famous but, as you said, their marriage seemed, for Hollywood, unusually successful, which makes even more tragic. |

She wasn't particularly super-star famous but, as you said, their marriage seemed, for Hollywood, unusually successful, which makes even more tragic. Only because there is someone sensible here (namely everso) I am going to attempt to write down a theory I have that I can never articulate without sounding somewhat like Glenn Hoddle talking about disabled people, although my theory couldn't be further from his point of view. It is as follows: When a tragic event happens in what seems to be a successful set up - such as this case - it often elicits the response in me, and others, that that makes it even more tragic. But my theory is that the group has been given, by fate/god(s)/whatever, a special coping mechanism to help them through such as a strong family or a particularly strong family member or set up. This falls down when I think of people who suffer tragedy without a perfect homelife to fall back on but then in each case something else appears to create a bigger good. I suppose my theory comes under the 'God works in mysterious ways' theory which is where I have to distance myself from Hoddle. I don't think that 'pro-active forces' create the tragedy but I think that 'proactive forces' build and create the support mechanism to deal with it. Please - does anyone here have the faintest idea what I am trying to articulate because I haven't articulated it. FFS.  |

I think quite a lot of people felt the same when John Thaw died. I overheard quite a few people the day after saying they felt somewhat bereaved.

I'm sorry, I still have no idea who she was. I know who liam neeson is, because he was in a film where he and his cajun family took war to some city folks wot had wronged them...shotgun deaths a plenty. He also played Qui-Gon Jinn, in what "Warsies" will tell you was the first ever screen portrayal of a "Grey Jedi". AH He was also the title role in the first "Dark Man" film and, of course, Ras Al Ghul in Batman If you haven't seen the subsequent Dark Man films - don't  You're forgetting his best film...Schlindlers List. |

I knew of the family as they are very well respected in the acting world, but not of her specifically.
Still, it is very sad.

The way you worded your post seems to suggest so. Very sad for such a lovely woman to die so young and so unexpectedly. We never know the day. Hoka Hey and Carpe Diem. |
