Showing she’s not lost any of her trademark sense of humour, Harper ended her message by saying, “I must confess that the highlight of this ordeal came when I was escorted by two handsome young men and a pilot, in a medivac helicopter, as the full moon lit the sky. Talk about movie magic!!!”

The actress revealed in 2013 that she is battling terminal brain cancer, having been previously diagnosed with lung cancer in 2009. Speaking about her diagnosis earlier this year Harper told People, “When I wake up in the morning I don’t say ‘Oh, I have cancer. I say ‘Another day. How you feeling? Good? Good.’ And when I do have little twinges of something I go ‘Oh my god, is that a headache? What is that?’ And I say wait a day or two, it might just be a headache and usually it is … so far.”
