[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

She lived a hard life (by her own choices) and it looks like the last year or so has been tragically bad.

That being said, Carrie Fischer is part of one of the oddest phenomenon known to man: The Princess Leia/Carrie Fischer dichotomy.

It is explained thusly:

Princess Leia - HOT
Carrie Fischer - NOT

It's not that she is ugly (that one horrible picture not withstanding), it's just that as an actress she was never near as hot as her one defining character.

I thought she was hot in the “Blues Brothers.”
