Kristin Chenoweth was inches from death in The Good Wife accident
Actress Kristin Chenoweth feels lucky to be alive after her doctor marvelled at how close she came to death following her onset accident while shooting U.S. legal drama The Good Wife.
The diminutive star was hospitalized with a concussion in June (12) after a lighting rig fell and struck her in the face, leaving her with a skull fracture and rib and hip problems.
She recently admitted the incident, which took place in New York,
has cost her the ability to multi-task and now reveals she could
have died if the set equipment had come crashing down on her
slightly differently.
During an interview with U.S. talk show host Chelsea Handler, she
says, "The doctor said I was hit in the face and knocked to the
ground and my head hit a curb... He said, 'You know, if you had
been hit (on the top of the head) or (on the throat) you wouldn't
even be able to talk anymore. I'm so glad that I wasn't
killed...
"What happened was a terrible accident and hopefully nothing (like
that happens again)."
