Most celebrity deaths really don't bother me much. But sometimes a celebrity will pass and I'll feel a bit of loss, maybe even a little sadness. Few touch me as strongly as this one. I truly am saddened by Carrie Fisher's death. The original Star Wars movies were a very big part of my childhood, and I still love them every bit as much as an adult, if not more. The nostalgia of seeing the other actors reprise their younger roles in Star Wars The Force Awakens was wonderful. Han Solo was always my favorite character, but it was Leia's first appearance in that movie that actually gave me goosebumps on my arms. Perhaps she was actually my favorite character and I didn't realize it. I always thought she was most stunning in the scenes on Endor, in Return of the Jedi.
The world has lost one of its greatest story tellers today. Because that's what she did as an actress, especially in those movies. She didn't just play the part, she told the story of the character. This is one of those times that a celebrity passing truly broke my heart.

Her scenes for Episode VIII were finished, I hear, so we will get to see the princess one last time.
Wow. I thought she was getting better. Damn.
Most remember Carrie for her role in Star Wars, but I always liked her character as the jilted wife-to-be of Joliet Jake in the 1980's Blues Brothers where she kept popping up throughout the movie as the mystery woman trying to seek revenge for being jilted at the alter! Jake finally woos her in the sewer system into forgiving him, then leaves her laying in the mud yet again!
Rest in peace, Carrie. Only 60 years old.

Here's a link to a picture taken of her with John Belushi and Dan Akroyd taken during the filming of 'The Blues Brothers.'

Akroyd actually saved her life during the filming when she choked and he gave her the Heimlich maneuver.
Mayfair, as soon as I heard that her mom had told everyone that she was getting better, I knew she wasn't.
Sad ... RIP.
Sad ... RIP.
