Carrie Fisher suffered a massive heart attack Friday on an airplane ... TMZ has learned.

Our sources say Carrie was on a flight from London to LAX when she went into cardiac arrest. People on board were administering CPR. 

We're told the emergency occurred 15 minutes before the plane landed in L.A. A flight attendant asked if there were any medical personnel on board and an EMT who was sitting in the back of the plane came up to first class and administered life-saving measures.

The plane landed just after noon in L.A. and paramedics rushed her to a nearby hospital.

Fisher, who became famous, of course, as Princess Leia from 'Star Wars,' has been on a book tour

Fisher, 60, was rushed to the hospital by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics shortly after noon, after her flight touched down at LAX.

A source who said they were not authorized to discuss the incident said the actress was in a lot of distress on the flight.

Fisher, who rose to stardom as Princess Leia, recently published an autobiography titled the Princess Diarist, her eighth book.

She is the daughter of famous Hollywood couple Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher.

Cautiously optimistic that she will pull through.  I do not know where gate1975 got his info ... but Twitter/TMZ/etc. are still just reporting a "massive" heart attack.  

I read it on a message board from a few posters but perhaps they are just making bad jokes.

Sooo apparently she was targeted in  "Death Hoax"  ... just today moments before she had her heart attack today they reported that she was live and well

On the plus side, she made the age of 60, like I always said, if I died at age 59 ... my spirit is going to be ######! 

 

...please be true....

Update (December 23, 2016, 9:12 P.M.): According to Variety, Carrie Fisher is currently in the ICU—and not in stable condition, as previous reports indicated. “She’s in the ICU and everybody’s praying for her,” her brother Todd Fisher told the trade. “There’s nothing new from the doctors. There’s nothing new at all. … There’s no good news or bad news.” He also indicated that media outlets reporting Carrie’s condition as stable are writing between the lines.”

 

Meanwhile, get your hankys 

 

 

Wow. :no: Hope she pulls through. She's a survivor, and if anyone can get through something like this it'll be her. She'd made a lot of positive life changes in the past few years (diet, exercise, getting balanced mentally, career, writing, speaking again, etc), so for something like this to happen is a real punch in the gut ... *sigh* ...

Maybe she'll stop smoking like a chimney now?

 

She's had a very hard life, mostly self inflicted but 69 is young. If a clean life was hers. it would be unusual but her history makes it no surprise. I know a few years ago she cleaned up her act but the damage was done. Having said that, I hope she is with us for many years to come.

    • Weirldy, in Texas the age of consent is 17, not 18.
    • DXVK generally performs better on Linux (using Wine/Proton) than on Windows. Because Linux utilizes highly optimized, open-source Vulkan drivers (like RADV/ACO) that were specifically built for AMD Radeon hardware, the translation of Direct3D 9/11 to Vulkan is highly efficient. But if you take the trouble to watch my video, you can see that there are also advantages for Nvidia users. You see that I run Assassin's Creed Odyssey on 4GB RAM and on an i3-3240. What do you think are the minimum system requirements for windows11? For CPU-based rendering, Linux is generally faster than windows11 by about 15% due to lighter background overhead and efficient kernel scheduling.
