Happy Birthday, Carrie Fisher!


I've met people who haven't seen Star Wars. Or have only seen the new trilogy. Shame on them (and shame on George Lucas for turning an amazing franchise into a child-oriented charity). They should be particularly ashamed today, for it is Carrie Fisher's birthday! Before the aforementioned people wallow in their shame, Carrie Fisher is the actress who starred as Princess Leia in the good Starwars films.
End of story?
No.
  Although Starwars crushed the careers of all the actors in it (except Harrison Ford), Carrie Fisher came out of that paradoxical train wreck generally unscathed. Sort of. While she's suffered through many personal issues over the year, it looks like she's gotten out into the clear in the past decade. 
  Anyways, Carrie Fisher is not just Princess Leia, she's also written four novels, an autobiography, two stage plays, and several screenplays. She's also starred in 70 other films and TV shows.
  So here's to 55 years for Carrie Fisher, and 55 more!
 
Feo.
