Eric Eisner, a well-known film producer and the son of former Walt Disney CEO Michael Eisner, found himself in a precarious situation last month. While skateboarding in Inglewood, California with friends, Eisner attempted a move that ended in disaster. His elbow was broken, and his hip was fractured in the accident. Despite the severity of his injuries, Eisner managed to drive himself to the hospital, leaving medical professionals astounded by his resilience. His wife, Stacey Bendet, shared the details of the incident, highlighting the challenges her husband faced in the aftermath.
Interestingly, Eisner’s accident was not the only misfortune to befall the family. The day before his skateboarding mishap, one of their daughters suffered a fall from her horse in New York, resulting in a broken collarbone. The surgeries for Eisner and his daughter occurred on separate coasts, adding to the complexity of the situation. Bendet, who humorously referred to herself as an “orthopedic doctor in residence,” navigated the challenges of caring for her injured family members with grace and determination. Despite the setbacks, she remained optimistic about their recovery prospects.
As Eisner and his daughter recuperate in Malibu, the reality of their injuries sets in. Eisner, known for his work on the Grateful Dead documentary series, “Long Strange Trip,” will be unable to attend the opening match of Portsmouth Football Club, the UK soccer team he co-owns with his father. The impact of their injuries extends beyond personal inconveniences, reminding them of the fragility of life. Bendet’s reflections on the situation convey a mix of concern, gratitude, and hope, emphasizing the resilience of their family in the face of adversity. Despite the challenges they have faced, Bendet remains confident in their ability to overcome the obstacles and emerge stronger on the other side.
