For those who grew up knowing Natasha Richardson as Elizabeth James in 1998's The Parent Trap, her death was a tragic loss. After a skiing accident in Quebec, Canada, Richardson sustained a head injury, but refused medical attention. Two hours later, Richardson complained of a severe headache. She died from an epidural hematoma two days after the accident. At the time, she was working on The Wildest Dream (2010).
