Winona Ryder caused some in-flight drama during a British Airways flight to the UK, forcing the plane to make a priority landing 22 minutes before the scheduled time of arrival.

After apparently taking too many Xanax in an effort to alleviate her fear of flying, the actress apparently collapsed twice during the 10-hour flight from Los Angeles.

One passenger said: “She turned a deathly shade of pale. It was scary.”

Another source added: “There was a massive commotion. Everyone on board was stunned and you could tell the cabin crew were worried."

Once the plane landed, Ryder was rushed to a nearby hospital where she had her stomach pumped. She was allowed to leave the hospital the same evening.

Her spokesman said, “She did fall ill on a flight and as a precautionary measure, was taken to a hospital.
