News Carrie Fisher dies

I guess Debbie took the old quote to heart, "A parent should never have to bury their child".

The Force be with those that survive.
 
I guess being a teen and twenty-something celebrity in the late 1970's and 1980's was hard on the system.
No, doing a lot of substance abuse will do that to you. People will be saying that about Carrie in the months to come, that her drug use was a contributing factor to this death. I really don't care about that anymore, all I know is that a great lady of the screen has gone just as she was starting up again. A woman whose portrayal of a princess redefined what such portrayals should be, and was a trailblazer in the industry she worked in. A woman who overcame addiction and bipolar disorder to help others with the same condition, and who talked about them in her books and live performance shows based on those books, a woman who became a script editor and also acted in other things besides Star Wars-that's what matters to me about Carrie Frances Fisher. Yes, things were hard for her in the '70's and '80's, but she came back-an incredible act for anybody to do.

I'll miss Carrie a lot now, and will always remember her.

Another underrated favorite of mine was Under The Rainbow with Carrie. I didn't even realize it had finally come out on DVD.

Time to get that one and enjoy.

That movie's (sadly) considered one of the worst of all time by many critics and people, but I never saw what was wrong with it. Enjoy yourself and have a ball seeing it. :techman:
 
^ IIRC, all of Leia's scenes in Episode VIII are complete.
Yeah, I thinking shooting was wrapped in the Summer but I'm not sure whether or not she'd done the ADR for it which could be problematic. Might even require a voice actress if the available audio isn't usable.
