At the first place, this was NOT confirmed by her assistant. So, may be true or a simply especulation of newspapers trying to get some hit traffic.

The DailyMail has some pictures of Winona before boarding yesterday, still in LAX airport.

According to this publication, Ryder is thought to have collapsed twice on board the transatlantic BA flight after taking too many Xantax pills for anxiety. She is known to be afraid of flying and it is suggested she took the tranquilisers to calm her nerves.

She was taken to Hillingdon hospital, in West London, soon after arriving in England just after noon. Although her publicist refused to confirm the nature of the star’s illness last night, she said her client was discharged an hour later ‘in good health’.

Mara Buxbaum said: ‘She did fall ill on a plane and as a precautionary measure they took her to hospital.

‘She was there for an hour. She’s in good health. There’s no drama.’

We hope Winona gets well soon, and I hope she go to Spain, to receive her prize that she really deserves.

American actress Winona Ryder was taken to hospital after becoming ill on a flight to London.

A spokesman for Hillingdon Hospital in Uxbridge, west London, said the 37-year-old was treated by medics directly off the plane at Heathrow Airport.

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

“The passenger was taken to a local hospital for treatment. The plane touched down shortly before noon UK time.

BA also said their crew looked after her as much as they could whilst on board, and passenger service staff accompanied her to hospital.
