According to TMZ, actress Carrie Fisher suffered a massive heart attack while traveling on a plane. The website says Fisher, 60, was flying from London to Los Angeles when the heart attack occurred, prompting passengers to perform CPR on her. She was reportedly rushed to a hospital when the plane landed in Los Angeles around noon pacific time. NBC reported that Fisher went into full cardiac arrest, and that her condition is not good. Peter Mayhew, the actor who played Chewbacca in the films, wrote on Twitter: Thoughts and prayers for our friend and everyones favorite princess right now. Fisher is best known for her role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars movies, and has been on a book tour. In an interview last year with The Daily Beast, she discussed her admiration for her Star Wars role. People want me to say that Im sick of playing Leia and that it ruined my life. If my life was that easy to ruin, it deserved to be ruined.
