More Than Princess Leia: Carrie Fisher's Beautifully Tumultuous, Accomplished, Hilarious Life

Princess Leia is the most famous female character in film. It's a testament to the bawdy, honest brilliance of the late Carrie Fisher that the actress was more influential herself.

Far too young. 2016 has been an appalling year for loss of talent.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

So sadly true. :(

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

I am trying to finish reading her Wishful Drinking book. So sad though.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I understand she was in London promoting a new autobiography.
I may have to look into it.

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

The one i am reading is from 2009.

This one?
"The Princess Diarist, the latter of which she was promoting at the time of her death."
I will have to check into it also!

Terrific article! I've read many of her books and the clever self-deprecating humor is on target.

Mental illness is an awful thing. I'm glad she risked so much and shone a light on it.

I wonder what is going to happen to her dog ....

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Hopefully one of her kids or mom will take care of it.

Such a shame, she was quite a character.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I just read that her mother, Debbie Reynolds, was rushed to the hospital today and died. :(

[britalone.livejournal.com]

I expect it was the shock. Bless them, both very talented ladies.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

A sad case of a broken heart I am guessing. :(

[incertum-verum.livejournal.com]

It's really sad. My sister and I were talking though and both actors did some drugs and that is bound to catch up eventually. :-/ it is unfortunate.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I just read that her mother, Debbie Reynolds, was rushed to the hospital today and died. :(

[kaishin108.livejournal.com]

So very sad, and she was young to die of a heart attack. But having that happen on a plane, ugh. She probably needed a defibrillator and expert attention right away!
So sad :-(

I just read that her mother, Debbie Reynolds, was rushed to the hospital today and died. :(

[kaishin108.livejournal.com]

I saw that this AM when I read my NPR news, how horribly sad! :-(

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

So tragic for the family. :(

[kaishin108.livejournal.com]

I can't even imagine so close together like that. But Debbie Reynolds was probably so upset since Carrie's heart attack first happened :-(

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Stress and a broken heart. :(

[ellierachael.livejournal.com]

So sad :(
Too many of those we've lost this year have been FAR too young

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I just read that her mother, Debbie Reynolds, was rushed to the hospital today and died. :(

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

You are sadly correct, Jon. Debbie suffered a stroke at her son's home and died ... one day after her daughter .... Unimaginable .... I thought it was bad when my parents died nine months apart in 2013.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Such a crushing blow to that family. :(

[ellierachael.livejournal.com]

Yeah another LJ friend told me she has also died :( So awful for their family. Do we know if she was unwell. I really hope not self-inflicted

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

From what I had heard it sounded like she had a stroke while she was at her son's home. :(

[ellierachael.livejournal.com]

At least she passed with family but how horrible for him! What a tragic Christmas to lose your sister and Mom :(

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Such a tragic year, and to happen over the holidays. You can never look at them differently any more. :(

[seaivy.livejournal.com]

i loved her as Leia
loved her in When Harry ... - one of my favorite movies
loved her one woman show on HBO

when i heard about Debbie Reynolds i thought of Postcards
Mother upstages daughter

both of their spirits are laughing

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

both of their spirits are laughing
You have to be that is true, them looking down on us all. :)

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

there are still a few days left in 2016. I bet they're all holding their breath

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Did you hear the sad news, her mother died today, one day after her. :(

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

yeah :(
