IT STILL SEEMS quite surreal writing this, one year on. A year today we
lost CARRIE FISHER. The shock rippled around the world, and I am sure
today, many will again feel that disbelief. Many here of course will
know her connection to Peter Cushing, through the movie, STAR WARS. As
Tarkin, they together 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.
WHILE CREATING the banner for today's
post, I dug though many hundreds of images of Carrie in file. They were
ALL magical. They ALL projected her sense of fun, wickedness and love of
life. Many were taken long before she started that painful and
disabling struggle, that tripped and distracted her later in life. There
were so many photographs, picking one, was just too difficult, picking
TWO, was really no easier. Just like the fact she is no longer here,
it's just not good enough . . . She really stands as one of the
brightest STARS, not just in that Star Wars Galaxy, but in the lives of
so many that she continues to touch. And today, we remember CARRIE
FISHER, as one very special star, who still shines . . . .
