That's terrible. I do hope she recovers. 60 is way too young to go.

Re: Carrie Fisher suffers heart attack.
That's great news. Hopefully she makes a full recovery. 60 is, indeed, far too young to go.

Re: Carrie Fisher suffers heart attack.
That's a relief. I was getting really worried when news pages were being so vague about her condition.

Re: Carrie Fisher suffers heart attack.
Unfortunately reports that Carrie is fine are false, shes in the ICU
Basically the media somehow got "she's fine" out of, "she's in the ICU"
Basically the media somehow got "she's fine" out of, "she's in the ICU"
Carrie Fisher has been hospitalized and is in intensive care after suffering a full cardiac arrest on Friday while aboard an airplane headed from London to Los Angeles.
The actress was in critical condition earlier in the day, an emergency official told Variety on Friday afternoon. She was moved from the emergency room to the Intensive Care Unit hours later, her brother, Todd Fisher, said Friday evening. The actor and filmmaker said his sister is not in stable condition, despite previous reports.
“She’s in the ICU and everybody’s praying for her,” he told Variety in a phone interview. “There’s nothing new from the doctors. There’s nothing new at all. … There’s no good news or bad news.”
Todd Fisher said media outlets are “writing between the lines” in reporting that she’s now in stable condition. The Associated Press reported earlier today that Todd Fisher said Carrie Fisher was in stable condition and “out of emergency.”

Out of the emergency room, but still in the ICU.
Well, I suppose no news is better than bad news.
But shame on the press for their sloppy reporting.

Re: Carrie Fisher suffers heart attack.
Is their any evidence that this is related to her prior drug use? Their are plenty of reasons that a sixty year old person might suffer a heart attack.

Re: Carrie Fisher suffers heart attack.
While I genuinely wish her and her family the best of thoughts and wishes and hope she recovers from this, am I a despicable human being for also thinking at first glance after seeing the headline that I hope she doesn't croak and actually recovers so that she can finish filming the sequel trilogy?

Re: Carrie Fisher suffers heart attack.
That's in a lot of peoples' minds, of course, but its also obviously not the foremost concern here.
But yeah, I hope that too, partly because it would mean that Carrie Fisher is alive and recovered enough to act.

I have a horrible suspicion that Disney actually has draft copies of the script of Episodes VIII and IX with each of the original Star Wars actors 'written out' in case one or more of them drop dead during filming.

Re: Carrie Fisher suffers heart attack.
I wouldn't be surpriced if it was standard policy for film makers doing multi-film series like this that once an actor gets above a certain age that there's a plan in place in they die either while filming or after it, but before the series is done.Simon_Jester wrote:I have a horrible suspicion that Disney actually has draft copies of the script of Episodes VIII and IX with each of the original Star Wars actors 'written out' in case one or more of them drop dead during filming.
After all people die there's nothing sinister about preparing for that possibility.

Re: Carrie Fisher suffers heart attack.
I'm kind of pissed the way some of the news is bordering on talking about her in the past tense. Can we wait on that until she is, you know, actually dead?
In the ICU after an episode like that is nothing particularly sinister. We'll know more in a few days.

Re: Carrie Fisher suffers heart attack.
NPR's top of the hour newscast said that we only know she had some sort of medical emergency and is in the ICU, and that most of what was initially reported was speculation.

Re: Carrie Fisher suffers heart attack.
Cocaine can cause much younger and healthier people to die from heart attacks, and even when people stop using, the damage to the heart and blood vessels is already done. It's quite reasonable to think her heart attack is related to her cocaine use, just as it's reasonable to suppose that someone who was a recovered alcoholic and had a stroke at a relatively young age might be suffering from long-term damage from heavy drinking.The Romulan Republic wrote:Is their any evidence that this is related to her prior drug use? Their are plenty of reasons that a sixty year old person might suffer a heart attack.
Her mother is still alive and well into her 80s, as was her father when he died a few years ago, so maybe heart conditions don't run in the family. But really, who knows? Anyway, I hope she pulls through. This has been an incredibly shitty two years for a number of artists I've liked for a long time (most recently, the death of Greg Lake) and I'd like to finish this year without any more celebrity obituaries.
