I've never been a Star Wars fan. I haven't even really watched the original trilogy, just bits and pieces here and there. But as a ladyperson, I've always liked Carrie Fisher as another ladyperson. Her mom basically pushed her into showbusiness, she ends up being a nerd sex symbol while being mired in cocaine and alcohol while being bipolar and still managed to mostly beat her demons and end up smart and accomplished. She was a strong lady even though she was completely hosed up. And you know what? I've got a special place in my heart for hosed up strong ladies.

I had to get an emotional support dog to get over Carrie Fisher's death.

Only I named her Carrie Fisher and it just made things worse.

Was Carrie Fisher even in anything notable after star wars, a film series that apparently got bad before I was born?

quote:

Cocaine was already so prevalent on the set (like many other film productions of that era) that Aykroyd, who used far less than his partner, claims a section of the budget was actually set aside for purchases of the drug during night shooting. The stars had a private bar, the Blues Club, built on the set, for themselves, crew, and friends. Carrie Fisher, Aykroyd's girlfriend at the time, says most of the bar's staff doubled as dealers, procuring any drug patrons desired.

Rumor is that Belushi pulled Fisher aside and told her to slow down for her own good.

I saw Carrie Fisher make the same outrageously bold off-the-cuff joke in multiple interview segments when Force Awakens came out and it occurred to me that she would probably be an awesome lady for the exact length of the average fan interaction or brief conversation, but super grating and tiring for any longer than that.

I wonder what Debbie Reynolds thought about Carrie's gargantuan duck lips that she developed later in life.

Just a though I had while looking at the link and seeing a picture of the two of them kissing.

That's sexist. So is saying she was beautiful. So is saying anyone is beautiful, or not beautiful, or has any appearance whatsoever. The thought police have spoken.
