Emmy- and Tony-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth, who hails from Broken Arrow, said this morning she is still recovering from a skull fracture and other injuries she sustained in a July accident on the set of the CBS legal drama “The Good Wife.”

According to USA Today, Chenoweth, 44, appeared this morning on “Live! with Kelly & Michael” and shared with hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan some details about the accident, which occurred during a New York location shoot and caused her to be briefly hospitalized.

“I’m doing so much better than I was,” Chenoweth said, describing the incident like this:

“Basically a big lighting thing … fell and hit me. Knocked me out, knocked my face and slammed me down to the ground. … The back of my head got hit on the curb. …I had a skull fracture, rib issue and neck issue and a hip issue. I’m issue-ridden, but I’m getting better.”

She added, “I wear my neck brace on and off,” and she patted the back of her head, “This is healing.”

The actress said when she woke up, co-star Josh Charles was holding her hand, according to the Associated Press.
