Natasha Richardson, a film star, Tony-winning stage actress and member of the famed Redgrave acting family, died Wednesday after suffering injuries in a ski accident, according to a family statement. She was 45.
According to a statement from Mont Tremblant Ski Resort, Richardson fell during a lesson on a beginners' trail. "She did not show any visible sign of injury, but the ski patrol followed strict procedures and brought her back to the bottom of the slope and insisted she should see a doctor," the statement said.
If you ski with us and don't wear a helmet, you already know we can be quite a nag. We hear silly things about "I don't ski that fast" or "I don't ski near the trees". The only reason not to wear a helmet is if your brain just isn't worth the $100 it costs to buy a good ski helmet.

I am heart-broken for her family, especially her sons and husband.
No one wears a helmet to look "cute".
If trained personnel take you off the mountain and tell you to see a doctor, take their advice.
The world is a lesser place for the loss of a person with such talent.
