God, I hope she pulls through. I normally don't get weepy over celebrities, but hearing this made me physically ill.

The thing that gets me is that she's only 60.

Damn, this sucks. I'm getting a bad, "2016 Strikes Again," kind of feeling.

60 going on 90, with the drugs and alcohol she abused for years.

Yeah, well - Lemmy. Drugs and alcohol didn't kill him, it was brain cancer. And then there's Keith Richards. He may look 95, but he's still alive and kicking!

cocaine fucks up your heart.

hope she makes it, but even if she does, I fear she'll be in pretty rough shape.

I just saw her cameo in Rogue One last weekend. She looked the best she's been in years in that movie.

She was scheduled to be at the Wizard World convention in New Orleans in early January. It looks like they have already deleted her from the line up on their website. That was quick!!

They likely would have made an emergency landing in Iceland or Canada.

yeah, they're just usually not that quick at changing schedules on their website and they usually don't erease all trace of an appearance being scheduled. They will usually say "cancelled" above where all the guests are that are no longer appearing at that con.

She is one with the Force and the Force is with her.

Keeping positive...although this year can't end fast enough.

I had to be civil on social media but here I can let loose :

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuckity fuck.

I'm sure the people here can understand how important these movies were to me as a kid - Harrison Mark and Carrie were almost like family.

I hate to say this, but it doesn't sound good. Ten, fifteen minutes is a very long time in situations like this.

Seems like we're just waiting for an official announcement.

Reminds me of Princess Diana and Michael Jackson. When MJ was rushed to the hospital, we were watching it on CNN at. Work, and I was telling people that he was dead, the media knew it, but were waiting on the official word.
