TODAY, WE ARE REMEMBERING on her birthday the lovely Carrie Fisher a woman,
who was never dull, touched all she met, was a mountain of energy and
fun and yet sadly, like many of us, carried another life, that sometimes
worked against her, making even the sunniest of days, dark and
exhausting. Many here of course will know her connection to Peter
Cushing, through the movie, STAR WARS
WITH CUSHING
playing the evil TARKIN and Carrie the vulnerable PRINCESS LEIA Tarkin,
together they played a key scene, with Peter cranking up his
performance, as the cruel and most Machiavellian of characters in the
Star Wars universe. Carrie later shared how difficult it had been for
her to find the motivation, to hate Peter's Tarkin. She too,like many
before her, had been charmed and moved, by his kindness and manner on
set, it was quite a task to actually say those lines. Even though she
left us a wonderful library of work on screen and on the page, it's a
weird feeling, knowing, she isn't around to cheer us up and make us
laugh in her interviews. As a teen she was my first crush, she dazzled
and shone very brightly . . on screen and in life, a real Princess! 😊 We remember Carrie today . ..
