Rest In Peace, Carrie Fisher

[calliopes_pen]

Carrie Fisher has passed away this morning, at the age of 60, following going into full cardiac arrest on a plane on Friday. May she rest in peace; best wishes go out to her family. While I’m not a fan of the Star Wars films, I did love her in Soapdish (1991). For the nostalgia, she was Thumbelina in Faerie Tale Theatre. And, apparently, she had a quick cameo as “woman kissing on bridge” in Hook, according to IMDB.

That was on BBC America just yesterday.

Until I checked her IMDB page, I was not aware that she was in Frankenstein (1984) as Elizabeth. David Warner played The Creature, so I really must track it down.

She was also in When Harry Met Sally, as Sally's best friend.

I've never seen that one, since it was never my kind of film. I tend to avoid the romantic comedy genre, and migrate towards horror, science fiction, or mystery.

(Just looked it up--ah. It's the origin of the "I'll have what she's having" scene that I've heard of in passing. Good to know.)

'When Harry Met Sally' is (to me) the opposite of those meet-cute romantic comedies. It takes place over a decade, not weeks. Most of the time they don't get along. Whatever you expect is probably not what's going on.

I guess I shouldn't be as surprised as I was about it. After all the woman DID have a heart attack. I shall miss her.
