Genuinely very, very hard to take in. What is wrong with 2016?

I'm off to stream Star Wars off Now TV as soon as I post this. Raise a glass of wine, and say "thank you" for the memories. My condolences to her family.

Terrible news. I know we don't normally post links but as a mid-40s man who grew up with star wars this is what she will always be to me:

I thought film companies had to insure their stars. The premiums depend on stunts, death, injury etc. For example Tom Cruise performing his own stunts in the MI franchise cost the studios a massive premium because of the risk. It's sad but I don't see what they have done wrong here.

There's some pretty poor Photoshopping in that image by the looks of things, distorted sea wash below the left bust, and also in the mid back.

Evidently a photoshoot of Carrie Fisher in the Slave Leia costume Rolling Stone magazine taken at California's Golden Gate National Recreation Area...

I don't think images were photoshopped in 1981.

Just another example of a "celebrity" that couldn't handle fame and money, turning to drink and drugs and having no real support network / friends behind them apart from agents and producers saying "yes" all the time. Isn't a coincidence that so many of them die from heart attacks or suicide.
