9. Severe does sound bad. Hopefully they are perhaps being a little melodramatic. Mr. Neeson and Ms. Richardson have had one of Hollywood's rare enduring marriages so far. Hoping for the best for them.

13. Here's hoping that the initial report is wrong, or at least exaggerated, because a "severe" brain injury sounds horrific.

15. Natasha is so beautiful - and talented as all the other Redgrave family members are. She and Liam both worked with Jodie Foster in the movie Nell. I'm a real fan of her work & wish her Godspeed to a full recovery.
