London - Holywood actress Winona Ryder was taken to hospital in London Wednesday after falling ill on a British Airways plane flying in from Los Angeles, the airline said.
The 37-year-old actress was treated by medics at London's Heathrow airport before being taken to the nearby Hillingdon Hospital, a BA spokesman 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," said BA.
The airline said the crew looked after Ryder as much as they could whilst on board, and passenger service staff accompanied her to hospital.
