Her talents as a writer are the ones that brought me the greatest comfort and joy, though I loved seeing her in Force Awakens as General Leia, looking so beautiful and confident.

And she was only 19 at the time.

Exactly. She helped rescue the boys! And told them what to do. It was so inspiring.

A third person who didn’t know that, but having read some of her writing, I’m not really surprised.

Thank you for writing that. I was trying to put together something that expressed admiration for her courage in so many areas, and you got it exactly right.

I’m a manager at a comic book shop, I guarantee every customer is going to say something tonight.

I didn’t know that, thank you for sharing.

Princess Leia and Ripley were my brunette heroines in a vast sea of vapid 80's blondes. Anyone who can’t understand what they meant for girls of a certain generation can go jump in a lake.

Now if you excuse me, I’m going to go light candles for the continued health and safety of Sigourney Weaver and Betty White.

Didn’t know that. She was such a good writer it’s not surprising.

And she was a worthy leader.

She was also a highly respected script doctor, known for saving Sister Act and The Wedding Singer, among dozens of others.

I’ve been upset and sad about a bunch of the celebrity deaths this year, but this is the first time I’ve been just straight up sobbing. I just don’t want this to be true.

Also, unfriended a person I knew from college who was making fun of people caring about her as Leia. Okay, assface, we get it that you’re above Star…

We really didn’t. I’m so sad.

I have run out of ways to say “fuck you” to this past year.

Thank you for everything, Carrie. For your bravery and charm and your refusal to shut up or give up. For lifting the veil off mental illness. For refusing to be ashamed. And most of all for showing my daughter that being a princess isn’t just about finding a prince. You will be so missed.

Goddammit...

Not much to tell. I didn’t get the gig. But I do feel rather Fancy By Association for having gotten that far :)

I sat across from her in her office in Milan a few times, as a model. It was terrifying. She suffered no fools. And yet, what a show she made of being a powerful woman who was utterly at home in her power.

Why is she flying coach, though? Marie Antoinette had more of a clue. Was this a sympathy stunt?

Ya it’s not clear what they thought this would achieve... besides disrupting the flight and getting kicked off?
