particular incident. but she's been very open about some of her other health struggles over the year, everything from depression to alcoholism to some electroshock therapy she underwent to help with her depression. she's been open about these types of things, some bipolarism as well. it's unrelated -- unknown if any of this had anything to do with what happened but she has had health issues in the past. >> we know she is involved in the next "star wars" movie. where are they in that film in terms of production? >> well, a spokesperson for disney told me yesterday that production on "episode

upbringing with two very famous parents and starred in a warren beatty movie in high school in 1973 she was in "shampoo" her debut and she filmed "star wars" when she was 19 years old. it seems like she's been famous forever because she has her entire life and not only as an actress she's an accomplished writer and author and in hollywood she is a well-known script doctor, meaning she works on screenplays and helps as a writer behind the scenes as much as she is in front of the camera. >> what an incredible career she's had and let's hope it continues. matt belloni, we really appreciate
