Carrie Fisher has massive heart attack on plane [UPDATE: RIP]

2016 can bite my ass.

I hope she awakens.

She was extremely lucky this happened just before the plane landed. I doubt they could have kept her alive for several hours, flying over the ocean.

True – though every minute is an eternity on such circumstances. Here’s hoping for recovery.

She and her mom Debbie were working on a joint production as well. How shocking and awful that she may have to bury her child.

She’s in critical condition, and someone on Twitter reported that she was not breathing for a while, and that they had trouble finding a pulse for a while.

It sounds really bad.

2016, you can’t have her.

15 minutes isn’t a lot of time doing CPR, though. Granted, they got a pulse, but I wonder if there will be any brain damage.

Good thing that they were doing CPR on her as they landed. Apparently, she’s on a ventilator right now.

I could only stand about thirty seconds of that. It’s as if the Brits took everything awful about Family Feud–which is pretty much everything–and chummed it in a blender with jellied eel and fluorescent lighting.

Fisher’s cameo on 30 Rock may be the best thing on that show, ever. And Fisher had quite a reputation as a script doctor for many film and television scripts which ultimately netted her more money than her acting roles.

“Hey 2016, go punch yourself in the dick.”

Stranger

All this, and given the delay in treatment given that she was stuck on a long overseas flight… not the best odds. But all good thoughts her way.

Her original line actually shocked me. :slight_smile:

The first TV showing squeezed four fast syllables into the lip-flap’s one: “…makeitwithme?”

Stranger on a Train, actually 8 out of Ten Cats is typical of a certain kind of British TV show. It’s a quiz show (sort of) where the contestants are always celebrities. Some of the British shows like this are actually closer to real quiz shows, with points being given out that actually matter. The celebrity contestants are supposed to come up with clever replies to the questions being asked. In the 1950’s and 1960’s, there were a lot of celebrity quiz shows in the U.S., but they’re rarer now. Some of the celebrity contestants in the U.K. appear to make a substantial part of their income from this sort of shows. You’re probably thinking, “What do you mean, celebrities? I’ve never seen these people before.” And you’re right. They aren’t the most famous celebrities, even just in the U.K. The shows often snag a minor American celebrity who’s passing through the U.K.

The latest from the Associated Press

I really enjoyed her book Postcards From The Edge (The film with Streep and McClaine, not so much).

Let’s avoid calling other people names unless you’re in the Pit.

She’s having such a career renaissance too.
C’mon Princess, hang in there. We still need you.

Hmmm. I should be taking more drugs,

Ms Fisher, please ignore the people making rude comments regarding your health and get well soon.

Hope the Force is with her. There I got that out of my system. :smiley:
Get well soon.

I wonder, what exactly is Disney’s backup if the elderly actors in the proposed trilogy croak.

Considering that one of the stars of Rogue One has been dead for 25 years, I’m sure they’ll manage.

Hang in there, Carrie.

I really feel for her mom, who is one of my favorites.

Well, they already lost Kenny Baker, didn’t they? Although, it probably doesn’t matter as much who’s inside of the trash can, but still…

I honestly doubt they considered it significantly more likely than any of the younger actors.

Han’s already been killed off, meaning no plan would be needed for Harrison Ford (the oldest surviving cast member), and none of the four older ones (Ford, Fisher, Anthony Daniels and Mark Hamill) are old enough that people would be considering them on death’s door (74, 60, 70, and 64, respectively), and were all in apparently good health.
