Actress/Author Carrie Fisher, 60, has Passed Away

[La Louve]

Also her daughter.

Thank you Rott Mom.

I was not aware until today that Carrie's daughter is an actress and public figure in her own right.

 

[Rott Mom]

Currently, her daughter Billie, plays Chanel #3 on Fox's "Scream Queens". Thank my niece for that info.

Flying for a long period of time could be dangerous. Because you don't move, blood clots can form in legs, then if they travel that could cause heart attack or stroke.
RIP Carrie.

Flying isn't unhealthy unless you have pre-existing conditions, a healthy person isn't going to develop blood clots from flying or sitting. She apparently had pre-existing conditions that have not been disclosed, or perhaps she was unaware of. Or certain medications or drugs. JMO, as a retired RN.

I am so deeply saddened by Carrie's premature death. My son is the one who introduced me to Star Wars, otherwise she wouldn't have meant as much to me as she did. God Bless her dear mother, Debbie Reynolds. I can only imagine her grief. And what a loss of such a great talent. RIP, Princess Leia. :tears:

I'm 10000% done with these shenanigans, 2016. [emoji31]

Rest In Peace, Carrie.

My heart is heavy tonight. She was not only our favourite princess and heroine but a talented, intelligent, witty and vibrant woman and mental health advocate.

Rest in peace, dear Carrie. You'll be sorely missed and fondly remembered, always.

TMZ is reporting that Carrie Fisher's condition never improved from the time she was rushed to the hospital after suffering a heart attack on a flight from London to Los Angeles, according to sources. Her family has not confirmed that information and had told the media she was in stable condition after being hospitalized on Friday.

I do not really know are they accurate??

[h=2]Carrie Fisher died Tuesday after suffering a heart attack Friday while on a flight, her family confirmed. She had been in London filming episodes of the comedy "Catastrophe" and was flying to Los Angeles, Variety reports. Fisher was the daughter of actress Debbie Reynolds and singer Eddie Fisher, and was "brought up in the sometimes tumultuous world of film, theater and television," People writes. She is best known for her role as Princess Leia in "Star Wars" and was just 19 when the first installment of the franchise was filmed. Her memoir "The Princess Diarist" was recently released.

I miss her already. I spent the past summer listening to all of her books on Audible and it pulled me out of a depression. She was special. She was a gift to us. She is gone way too soon.

You don't have to have a pre-existing condition to form a blood clot when flying. Clots form because you are not moving for long periods of time. If clots break off and travel they can cause heart attack or stoke. She was flying from London to US so a very long flight.

"Blood clots can sometimes form in your legs during air travel because you are immobile for long periods of time, often sitting in cramped spaces with little leg room. While commonly referred to as "economy class syndrome," the clinical term for this type of blood clot is deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The longer the flight, the more at risk you are for developing a clot. Flights lasting 8-10 hours or longer pose the greatest risk."

Carrie Fisher Was a Feminist Force to Be Reckoned With

by Adam Howard

Actress Carrie Fisher was many things: a best-selling author, the product of Hollywood royalty, and, of course, Princess Leia, the heroine of the blockbuster "Star Wars" saga.

But what is sometimes overlooked is that she was also a feminist icon.

Fisher, who died Tuesday at age 60 following a heart attack, defiantly marched to the beat of her own drum, especially off-screen, where her blunt-spoken, no-nonsense persona made her a distinct voice in Hollywood, particularly when it came to issues of sexism and ageism...

This probably warrants it's own thread but I just saw that Debbie Reynolds (Carrie's mom) has been rushed to the hospital with a possible stroke:

Oh how sad. I have been thinking of her and all she is been through in her life - in the public eye - and how she remains dignified and strong.
