Winona Ryder gets ill on plane, hospitalized in London

Winona Ryder was rushed to the hospital after her plane landed in London Wednesday.

The Daily Mail is reporting that the probable cause was an overdose of tranquilizers used to combat anxiety. The waif-like actress, 37, reportedly loathes flying.

According to Reuters, she was taken to Hillingdon hospital in West London soon after arriving in England just after noon.

Although her publicist Mara Buxbaum refused to confirm the nature of the star's illness last night, she said her client was discharged an hour later "in good health."

Buxbaum added: "She did fall ill on a plane and as a precautionary measure they took her to a hospital.
She was there for an hour. She's in good health. There's no drama."

Ryder later took another British Airways flight to another European city.

A spokesman for British Airways said: '"The captain of BA282, which was traveling from L.A. to Heathrow, requested a priority landing as a female passenger required medical attention."

"Members of the crew looked after the star, while BA ground staff accompanied her to hospital," he added.

Note to self and others:  Tylenol PM is much safer!
