Carrie Fisher (1956 – 2016).
I know Carrie Fisher was more than just Princess/General Leia. She was a gifted writer, a funny person, a mental health advocate, a dog lover, a heralded script doctor, a talented actor in roles beyond That Big One which made her famous, a survivor, and someone who just had no time at all for anyone’s horseshit.
She was something else, and I’m sure going to miss her.
So long, Carrie.
thanks for all you listed. I honestly think I appreciated her most for her wordsmithing – she was a good writer. Her one-woman show “Wishful Drinking” adapted from her book was superb.
With the passing of each childhood icon, I feel older and older. I’m glad to she had a chance to reprise her big role.
