Actress Kristin Chenoweth was released from the hospital on Thursday, one day after she was injured by falling lighting equipment on the set of "The Good Wife." Hear more about the chilling 911 call in the video below!

"Kristin has been released from the hospital and is home recovering," her rep, Jill Fritzo, said in a statement. "She thanks everyone for their prayers and well wishes." But what happened? "A gust of wind blew a lighting silk out of place striking actress Kristin Chenoweth," the studio said in a statement. Kristin Chenoweth was carried off the set on a stretcher, and she was spotted wearing a neck brace in the Intensive Care Unit of a New York hospital after she was "knocked out cold," The New York Daily News reported.

This wasn't the first time Kristin took a beating on the job. Last year, she hurt her back on the set of "Glee" when she fell down a flight of stairs, and in 2006, she fell off the stage during a rehearsal of one of her Broadway shows, the News reports. Is acting a dangerous job? Or is Kristin just accident-prone?

C.'Mon , physical job it is not... Don't most actors use body doubles. She must of sprained her face muscles as well. Her face looks swollen.

Brendon Lee died,Jerry Lewis and Chevy Chase suffered debilitating back injuries,and numerous others have suffered serious falls.Electric burns,and being hit by sash weights and other suspended equipment is part of an actors work-a-day world.

Falling lighting equipment, I dont think that qualifys to make acting dangerous. Acting is not dangerous, unless you are doing stunts. Other than that, no.

Yeah so one person gets hurt. You know Sheen was making like $1.4 million PER episode of Two and a Half Men? 22 minutes of show and you get $1.4 mil. Tell me that's not easy

Sounds like she is just clumsy for the most part. And I don't think it is the easiest job in the world. Some have to work like 18 to 20 hours a day over a 3 month period!

If acting is a dangerous job you can slap an "S" on my chest and give me a cape.

Of course it can be. Actors who do their own stunts could really hurt themselves. And then, you could always have freak accidents like what happened to Kristen.

Anyone who says being an artist is easy has clearly never tried to sing/dance/act/whatever or known someone who has.

Okay, well it's not the 'most dangerous job on earth', but it is hard, in many different ways. But any job can be dangerous. You can get hurt doing ANYTHING. Just the other day, I was doing my job on a goat farm, and just giving food, I slipped and bruised one of my ribs. I don't think acting is more dangerous than any other job, because there's jobs that are far more dangerous.

It's not that easy either but take into consideration that some people are just more accident prone and Kristin is so tiny at like 4'10" it's a wonder she wasn't hurt worse.

Let's ask a fireman or a soldier in Afghanistan if they'd more worried about acting than doing their own job.
