Bedside Vigil As Neeson's Wife "Critical'
Ballymena-born international star, Liam Neeson (pictured here) has rushed from the Toronto set of his latest film, Chloe, to be at his seriously injured wife's hospital bedside.
He has been joined by other members of the actress Natasha Richardson's family in New York's Lenox Hill Hospital.
Neeson's 45-year-old wife is reported to be in a critical condition following a skiing accident in Canada on Monday.
She was flown by private jet to the US on Tuesday, accompanied by her husband.
Their sons and Richardson's mother, Vanessa Redgrave, have all visited the hospital.
Liam's wife initially appeared unhurt after an "undramatic accident" on a beginners' run at the resort of Mont Tremblant.
However, the award-winning actress was taken ill an hour later.
She was later taken to the nearby Centre Hospitalier Laurentien before being transferred to the larger Hopital du Sacre-Coeur, in Montreal.
The Manhattan hospital to which Richardson has been transferred is near the family home.
