It was an unusual choice for both ABC and NBC to assign a correspondent to a celebrity story. The beat is almost always reserved for the network's morning news programs, or the syndicated shobiz newscasts--extra, Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, The Insider--that abound after the nightly newscasts. It is not clear what was so important about actress Natasha Richardson falling and hitting her head on a ski slope in Quebec that NBC's Robert Bazell and ABC's John Berman should have to report on it.
It did sound freaky, though. The 45-year-old was on a beginner's slope without a helmet. She fell. An hour later she had a headache. She was admitted to a local hospital. She was rushed to a medical center in Montreal. She was medevaced to New York City. "We have no definite word from the family or the hospital on what happened," shrugged NBC's Bazell. It "seemed like such a harmless event," ABC's Berman commented.
