dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 As many of you will no doubt have heard, Carrie Fisher passed away today after her heart attack. She was just 60 years old. I remember seeing her in the 1975 film Shampoo where she was a forward young hussy who asked Warren Beatty if he wanted to f***! She was gorgeous then and it was obvious that this young starlet was going places. Little did I realise just how far she was going to go! To Star Wars fans everywhere, including myself, she will always be remembered as the beautiful Princess Leia. A star has truly gone out of our world and she will be sorely missed. RIP Carrie, May the force be always with you. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38446753 2 Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 A sad loss. 2016 has not been a good year for celebrities. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 937 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 And they say 2017 is going to be even worse because the surviving celebrities are getting older. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tim_A 997 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 I don't think this year has been extra specially bad, it's just that (a) the celebs *we* grew up with are reaching popping-off age and (b) thanks to the modern internet-of-things we all get to hear of it pretty much instantly. Previously it was either "Xyz has died." "Who? Meh!" or ""Did you know wossname died?" "Yeah, that was years ago, didn't you know?" Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Agreed Tim. However seeing young'uns around my age (53-60) popping off early is making me wonder if I should start serious work on the bucket list, or be jealous that they are getting out before the Trump Era begins? Thinking mainly that I should seriously concentrate on the -Sailing away and retiring to a deserted atoll- bucket list item. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

As of Jan. 20th, he will have, like it or not. Hide and watch... Keep bashing him and I'll add one to make it the count even then lock the thread. This is getting off base.

allardjd 1,853 Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Carrie Fisher's mother, Debbie Reynolds has passed away, only about a day after the death of her daughter. Fisher was 60; Reynolds 84. John Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Such a double tragedy for their family. Two lovely souls gone to early, and in the wrong order frankly making it worse in a way...anyone would agree that a child going before the parent is a tragedy in itself...call this one Triple Tragic .
