[Road Warrior ‘04]

RIP, Princess Leia!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Yeah I think stress has a huge part in how long a person lives. Richards still chain smokes Marlboro reds as well. He's been smoking longer than I've been alive and I'm 54. He's not human, he's an andriod.

The song “Graceland”, as well, IINM.

Her death touches me. I feel a little teary eyed.

[Biggirl]

Same here.

Don’t long haul flights have automatic defibrillators? I read there were nurses and maybe a doctor who gave her assistance. She probably had a better chance than if her attack occurred at home. Most likely this simply was an unsurvivable attack.

[LouAvul]

Yes, she handled a rocket launcher with the best of them.

You can say that again. Wait! You just did!

She is survived by her mother, Debbie Reynolds, though her father Eddie Fisher died in 2010, from complications of hip surgery. She is also survived by her husband, Bryan Lourd, and their daughter, Billie Lourd (Billie Catherine Lourd), born on July 17, 1992, as well as her ex-husband, musician Paul Simon.

[TexasCruzin]

Her mother is Debby Reynolds.

Willie Nelson has led one helluva life and is still with us.

[Puppage]

Dead she is.

2016 has not been a good year for celebrities yet Keith Richards goes on.

Saw a chuckle on FB a while back, "We have to start thinking about what kind of world we're going to leave Keith Richards."

[WakeUpAndVote]

Wasn’t that Chelsea clinton’s aka?

Most of who we know as the iconic names of music, TV, and movies of the 1960s and 1970s were born in the early part of the baby boom, the late 1940s. They’re almost all well into their 60s or early 70s now, so most of them are in their last decade whether they overindulged during their heyday or not. Get ready for a number of more years of every couple of days hearing another big name passing on.

[PLMerite]

Yeah, nothing illustrates "psycho ex-girlfriend" better than Carrie Fisher with a rocket launcher.

[I want the USA back]

I’m sad to see her go.

[suthener]

And they keep getting more and more dramatic. George Michaels? Really?A flash in the pan 80s bubble gum singer and they act like he was Elvis. Leave this stuff to the entertainment media. One other irritating thing to me; their history. Mostly drug users, pedophiles (Michael Jackson), and otherwise people who should not be role models.

[PLMerite]

“in fact I even talk to the clerk.”

True, if a little harsh. In my case it’s more like the clerk would talk to me. I doubt that most Hollywood types would give me the time of day.

[P.O.E.]

RIP to an film icon.

[vladimir998]

Damn. There goes another part of my childhood.
