Carrie suffered a heart attack last week aboard a Los Angeles-bound flight 15 minutes prior to landing. A medic onboard performed CPR on the actress until paramedics arrived to take her to UCLA Medical Center, where she was placed on a ventilator.
Carrie was the daughter of screen legend Debbie Reynolds and singer Eddie Fisher, and at the age of 19, after landing the role of Princess Leia in George Lucas' 1977 space epic Star Wars.
