Natasha Richardson

I find myself unaccountably sad to read about the death after a skiing accident of Natasha Richardson at the age of 45.

It is particularly mystifying since looking down her filmography, I can say with some certainty, that I have not seen any of her films though I think I may have seen her in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes on TV as Violet Hunter in the adaptation of Copper Beeches.

I suppose it is just the thought of someone being cut down in their prime.

I saw The Parent Trap a short while ago, one Sunday afternoon. I actually tuned in because I thought it was the original (the one with Brian Keith, Maureen O'Hara and Hayley Mills) and I hadn't seen it in years.

Although initially disappointed that it wasn't the original, I sat and watched it, and bar a couple of bits where the updating really didn't work, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it seemed apparent that all the main cast had a blast making it. There seemed several moments where I guessed the director called CUT instants before one or the other of the cast cracked up laughing...

Edit to add: It may be entirely selfish, but the thought that she was a shade over a year older than me has been sending chills down my spine since I heard.
