I wonder how many people have gone up to her and told her without an ounce of shame they discovered themselves to her.

Carrie Fisher had to deal with that, and iirc she wasnt thrilled.

    Carrie Fisher knew what she was. I ALSO recall that she owned up to her failings and didn't bother to censor her inner bitch. Should we all aspire to such emotional transcendence. ^_^

  • She was a joy to meet at ComicCon. I was there to be morale support for my mother, mostly because she was nervous about meeting her girlhood hero. And, well, she was a hero of mine too.

    She was brisk, but warm. Kind of like the wise and worldly wine aunt at the family reunion. She had her dog with her, and he was napping on her lap. She signed my mom's autograph, and boffed her with a handful of glitter (it was her thing.) She saw me standing there, and asked, "You want some?" "I thought it was only for people who got your autograph." She laughed and boffed me on the head with a puff of Carrie Fisher glam.

    The day she passed away felt like losing a family member. May the Force be with her.
