Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill of Star Wars are among many who have expressed hope and concerns that the 60-year-old Fisher recovers after falling ill on a flight from London. The actress was treated immediately by paramedics upon landing in Los Angeles.
TMZ, which first reported the incident, said anonymous sources told them that the actress had suffered a heart attack. Catapulted to stardom as Princess Leia in 1977’s Star Wars, Carrie Fisher reprise the role as the leader of a galactic rebellion in three sequels, including last year’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
The author and actress may be best known for her portrayal of Leia, but she is also an accomplished writer known for no-holds-barred accounts of her struggles with addiction and mental illness. Most recently, Fisher has been promoting her latest book, The Princess Diarist, in which she reveals that she and co-star Harrison Ford had an affair on the set of Star Wars.
