Carrie Fisher suffers heart attack

[Donner]

Totally forgot she appeared on Smallville and she seemed quite healthy at that time, and spoke quite clearly.


Her health problems must have amped up after then unfortunately. It's really sad. These things are hard to combat.

Well you can't drink 16 cans of coca cola every day and not suffer from something. It's sad because that amount of sugar will definitely have an impact on the heart.

Take care of yourselves, ladies and gents. Eat healthy and be nice to your body.

Did she really drink 16 cans of Coca Cola a day? Ugh. I can't even drink one. I'd feel my teeth were rotting and my insides coroding away.

 

[Donner]

That's what she told Ellen.

 

[Marvolo]

She was probably exaggerating about the soda. I doubt she really drank a case of soda in a day every day.

I really doubt soda was the deciding factor in her death. Carrie had other health problems and did drugs in her younger years and may have had genetic conditions. She was also on medications for her health problems. Some medications can weaken the heart and effect blood pressure.

 

[Vartha]

My little brother drank a case every two days, it rotted his teeth. While he was having the teeth pulled he got an infection in mouth that gave him a stroke. So yes, it is possible for Coca Cola to kill you

Critic's Notebook: Carrie Fisher, Child of Hollywood and Droll Observer of Celebrity
Her role as Princess Leia in the 'Star Wars' franchise defined her to millions of fans, but it was in her ability as a writer and humorist to bring self-deprecating insight to her own bumpy life that Fisher truly ruled.

Makes me wonder if she'd still be around if she didn't fly overseas.

Did she really drink 16 cans of Coca Cola a day?

Its possible. I used to drank a whole 12 pack by myself back in the day.

 

[Marvolo]

That's crazy. I love soda, but damn... I don't drink that much of anything in a day.

 

[Dark Raven]

If only she drank 16 cups of water a day.

What can i say about this lady,icon,princess?
She was an forever will be a part of films that shaped my life :The Star Wars Trilogy.
The character of Princess Leia was Bold,beautiful,funny never faltering and tough,
but also very loving as audiences watched her fall for Han Solo
Fisher was all of the aforementioned too
It shined through in her roles in The Blues Brothers,Shampoo,and When Harry Met Sally.
Her one woman show Wishful Drinking is a must see
I just watched her on The Graham Norton Show such great wit,and self depricating sense of humor
Farewell my princess you belong to the stars now.

What got ME and our close friends to Murph, was he would be the FIRST to tell you what Coca-Cola will do to rust on a chrome bumper of car, yet, still drank WAY to much of it.

That's a crazy amount.

I became a heavy soda drinker back in the day. Now I usually mix it up a bit and drink water, tea and then an occasional soda every now and then. Sometimes I'll drink a diet soda cause it's not as good and will make you not crave soda as much.

The biggest cinema chain in my country is going to add a tribute to Carrie Fisher before every Rogue One screening. Pretty awesome.

Ah great idea. I hope they do that for UK showings too.

Wonder if they'll do that here?

Open water swimmers drink cola after they've swum in the sea/ river to kill anything inside that they might've swallowed.

Yeah, Ford is somewhat reclusive, but the people on the net who were implying he would say nothing were just nuts. He was obviously going to release a statement that was kind. Whatever he thought or felt about her -- that was a no-brainer.
Their careers took totally different paths after Star Wars so it was more a situation of having grown apart as friends/costars or whatever.

But for those 6 years they ware part of something huge that no one could have predicted.

A buddy of mine lived in Jackson Hole, Wy and worked at a dinner theater in town. He served Ford and his family who attended a performance there, back in the 90's when he was still married to Melisa Matheson, and their kids were pretty young. He said Ford was a very nice low key guy. I think that the reclusive nature of him, is that he doesn't like being a celebrity, which is why he got into aviation and things of that nature so he could just be a normal guy. I'm sure that's why he moved to his ranch in Wyoming, although ironic that he chose the biggest tourist trap in Wyoming to live in, but it's very beautiful being right next to the Grand Tetons.

Being bi-polar you tend to be obsessive about things and giving up the alcohol usually leads to another dependency.

I wasn't aware of her drinking that amount of soda, but I do know she was continually a chain smoker since an early age and never quit. Her mother who is now 84, still looks and sounds great, and never smoked a day in her life. It does add up.

I was too concerned about her health. Back when Star Wars 7 was going into production and she was beginning to lose weight, she had to lose 40 pounds and she is very short, only 5' 1", so for someone that small, that's a lot of weight.

The sad part is how the mental illness part plays a toll on the physical side of health. You end up doing things like that, which are not natural for a normal person. This is why alcoholics can go through a case of beer in no time flat, and then do it again the next day, where a normal individual might have a night of excess and then swear it off, and go 6 - 12 months before trying anything like it again.

TMZ is reporting this, so I'm taking it with a horse grain of salt, but apparently Debbie Reynolds was taken to the hospital with stroke symptoms. Please God, do not let this be true!

 

[Greens]

Recent events probably did a number on her.
