Natasha Richardson died Wednesday...

...of head injuries she sustained in a skiing accident on Monday. She was the daughter of Vanessa Redgrave and the wife of Liam Neeson. It's been all over the news. What I'd like to know is, am I the only person in America who had never heard of her until now? How come I don't recognize any of the movies or plays she was in? Am I that hopelessly out of touch? And how come nobody's talking about the death of Betsy Blair? Now that's news. Who? You know, she was Ernest Borgnine's love interest in the movie Marty. It won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1955. If you haven't seen it you should.
