Winona Ryder Hospitalized After Airplane Illness Wed, 19-Nov-2008
In celebrity medical news, Winona Ryder was taken to the hospital on Wednesday after being aboard a British Airways flight, with the captain asking for a priority landing for an ill passenger.
Ryder’s rep, Mara Buxbaum said, “She was on a flight from Los Angeles to London and felt ill. She felt better when she landed but as a pre-cautionary measure, they took her to the hospital.”
“The captain of flight from LA to Heathrow requested priority landing as a female passenger required medical attention. The passenger was taken to local hospital for treatment and our cabin crew looked after the female passenger as much as they could on board and passenger service staff also accompanied her to the local hospital,” told British Airways spokesperson. “We wish her well.”
Ryder, 37, was said to be “in good health,” according to her rep. “She was treated at the hospital for one hour and released,” Buxbaum explained.
Winona has appeared in films such as, “Girl, Interrupted,” “Edward Scissorhands” and “Little Women,” and will be appearing in the upcoming J.J. Abrams blockbuster. |
