"She wanted so to be tranquil, to be someone who took walks in the late-afternoon sun, listening to the birds and crickets and feeling the whole world breathe. Instead, she lived in her head like a madwoman locked in a tower, hearing the wind howling through her hair and waiting for someone to come and rescue her from feeling things so deeply that her bones burned. She had plenty of evidence that she had a good life. She just couldn’t feel the life she had. It was as though she had cancer of the perspective.”

Postcards from the Edge by Carrie Fisher

Important point, whilst she was famous a Princess Leia, her acting career should really take a backseat to her literary work (which is quite remarkable) and a life definitely lived, if somewhat manically. Very few writers really can crack the experience of mental illness as well as she did, even those who have suffered from it.

When these people were born the amount of superstars known to the average person would have been about forty and only known through papers and magazines, in the early 1950s about 350,000 households had a television set so it's not hard to work out why, it is going to get worse especially with Simon Cowell giving us more and more of them, I expect next year to be worse and so on from now, simply because of the numbers of them.

A valid point but the calibre of those that have passed this year is significantly higher than the norm.

Apparently she was one of Holywood's top script doctors.

There is an impressive list of films she saved

Shame on people like me for only thinking of her chained to Jabba the Hut in a metal bikini.

Down to what the body can tolerate I guess and the way you are made. Also open to interpretation. Maybe fisher would have died of a heart attack even if she had never touched drugs. We will never know

I think it's common misconceptions, i.e. people would associate members of the rolling stones as living a rock n roll lifestyle when actually it's what they are like in private. They probably have vegan diets and exercise regularly, probably haven't touched the white stuff for donkeys years. Then people you least expect, i.e. Whitney Houston for example who had a clean cut image are full blown coke heads

I don't even like Star Wars much but that scene certainly effected my lightsaber.

She looked drop dead gorgeous in Return Of The Jedi!

Feisty woman.... lived life to the full.... no age really!

I'm wondering how Family Guy will explain the absence of Angela Ironbox.
