She received immediate medical attention and those planes can get to an airport amazingly fast when they have to. So she's got that going for her, which is nice.
She was 15 minutes without a pulse though. We don't know what other damage may have been suffered yet.

Not sure how close to LA they were. But even if they were 30 min out. That's still an eternity waiting for care. I think on heart attacks you need care within a few golden minutes.
Quoted from EalaDubhSidhe:She was 15 minutes without a pulse though. We don't know what other damage may have been suffered yet.
I hope she doesn't end slurring her words and occasionally making no sense!
(I kid, I kid! And bills reports are they were 15 minutes out and an EMT was on board)
Quoted from EalaDubhSidhe:She was 15 minutes without a pulse though. We don't know what other damage may have been suffered yet.
As long as CPR was being administered, a body and brain do not suffer much, if at all if the heart restarts.
She's stable now, according to the news. Lucked out in a big way that medically trained people were on that flight as passengers, and the plane was only 15 minutes out from landing.
Her companion dog's been delivered to the hospital, too. I bet she's probably already writing her next book based on the experience, "Postcards from Past the Edge".
She had a great line about George Lucas and how he owned likeness rights. She said when she wakes up in the morning and looks in the mirror she has to send him a check.
I'm hoping she will be alright! Reports from her brother were saying she was stable but only time will tell. She has been though a lot so hopefully she can get through this!

Here's an article posted today about what state she is in
You know...
I told my wife when George Michael's death was announced that at least it seemed slim that 2016 was going to claim much more.... /facepalm

2016 has become a horrible year for 80's icons. David Bowie, Prince, George Michael, Carrie Fisher.
Very said day but as a wise green man said
"Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the force."
Sad, she was very talented and definitely a very interesting person. She definitely made this young boy (at the time) fall in love with her with the slave girl costume from Return of the Jedi and the leopard print bra and panties in the Man with One Red Shoe.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:I wonder if she was even done with all her parts for it.
Yeah I read she was. I hope if they need to re-shoot something they just use some fake shemps and keep the effects practical.
Not too many form Blues Brothers still around...I'd watch your back Dan.
Just listed 20 minutes ago. Some people will try to capitalize on anything.

Bummed- Been really hoping she would pull through. Hope was all we had!
Thank you Carrie for being apart of our lives. You will be missed.
We've lost another Jedi.
Quoted from SoCalPinballs:Just listed 20 minutes ago. Some people will try to capitalize on anything.
Just sent ebay an email to pull it.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Just ebay an email to pull it.
OMG an over priced pinball machine on ebay!
Quoted from TheLaw:Yeah I read she was. I hope if they need to re-shoot something they just use some fake shemps and keep the effects practical.
Only VIII was done filming. They'll have to figure out what to do for IX.

RIP,Princess
I grew up with Star Wars and it has been there for me almost my entire life. Over time, I've been lucky enough to make many friends that have been part of the franchise (actors and other Lucasfilm employees). I know the news of this is hitting harder with many of them than it is with me and I'm quite devastated by this. All my prayers and well wishes to Debbie, Billie, and Gary today.
Goodbye, my princess.
Quoted from Medisinyl:Only VIII was done filming. They'll have to figure out what to do for IX.
That's why I'm wondering if they kill her off; Be the best move really.

Yes, they can do it offscreen between the two movies. Really the only practical and classy thing to do. I don't want to see CGI Carrie popping up throughout the movie, and it would be tasteless to blow CGI Carrie up in the first 10 minutes. It's practical, respectful, and a good plot device, creating a leadership vacuum in the ...uhh..rebellion? What the hell are they now?
Why wait between the movies...blow up her transport right at the end of 8...that would be pretty sweet.
Doesn't excite the rebellion if she croaks from a heart attack betwixed the 2.
