I first saw Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia while watching a newly released Star Wars at the famous Chinese theater in Hollywood when I was about 8 years old...I of course instantly fell in love with her...or at least who she was on the screen, because I didn't know her in real life. She was one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen. In later years I started hearing about her problems with drugs and had a hard time accepting that this beautiful and talented woman was the same person that was being talked about and I thought maybe some people were just being overly critical...but as it would seem, it was all true. As I started to read more and more about her life, it became more apparent about why she was so troubled and felt she needed to escape...though I would not have chosen or even recommended such behavior, I at least believe I get it why she felt as she did. Carrie Fisher was one of the few female actresses that if given the real chance, I would have given anything to have met her in person and would have loved to just sit around and listen to her talk about whatever because it sounds like she was a truly very funny and wonderful person...Unfortunately, now that will never happen. Goodbye beautiful lady...you will be greatly missed, but NEVER forgotten.
