Winona Ryder Hospitalized

Winona Ryder was briefly hospitalized after falling ill on a flight to London's Heathrow Airport.

The actress, 37, was treated at a west London hospital as a precaution on Wednesday but has been released and is fine, according to The Associated Press.

Her rep declined to comment on the details of Ryder's illness.

Ryder was famously arrested in December 2001 after she was videotaped trying to make off with merchandise from the Beverly Hills Saks Fifth Avenue.

The star – who was convicted of grand theft – told August's Vogue that she was on Oxycodone at the time, and it left her in a state of "confusion." She said her arrest, "in a very weird way, was a blessing, because I couldn't do that [painkillers] anymore."
