Quote:Originally posted by second: Carrie Fisher told this joke : Remember the white dress I wore all through that film? George came up to me the first day of filming, took one look at the dress and said: 'You can't wear a bra under that dress.' 'OK, I'll bite,' I said. 'Why?' And he said: 'Because... there's no underwear in space.’ He said it with such conviction. Like he had been to space and looked around and he didn't see any bras or panties anywhere. He explained. 'You go into space and you become weightless. Then your body expands but your bra doesn't, so you get strangled by your own underwear.' I think that this would make for a fantastic obituary. I tell my younger friends that no matter how I go, I want it reported that I drowned in moonlight, strangled by my own bra.

He thinks everyone is just using "mental illness" as an excuse for bad behaviors. Everyone ought to be more like him and control themselves, even when they have brain damage

I would posit that a sane, well adjusted person wouldn't use drugs they didn't have to, so drug users ARE damaged in some way. As for the arguing thing, ARE YOU NEW TO THE INTERNETS? This is what people DO.

I WANT to believe that, had she conquered her drug use demons, she would have been more , not less , of a fascinating individual. And yes, I know she had other " issues ". Billie Lourd, had some beautiful yet honest words, after the news on what was found in Carrie's system. "My mom battled drug addiction and mental illness her entire life". 'She was purposefully open in all of her work about the social stigmas surrounding these diseases'. Sinema Blaze http://cinemablaze.com/2017/06/23/carrie-fishers-cause-of-death-revealed.html No apologies, no glossing over... pretty impressive and honest. I admire that.

In brief video for Turner Classic Movies, Fisher narrates the biography of her mother, describing her as having so much talent, “it’s insane,” and recalling what it was like growing up with a beloved movie star as a mother. “Walking down the street with her was like being in a parade,” Fisher says. “In public, I had to share her. She belonged to everybody.” The Singin’ in the Rain scene that made Debbie Reynolds a star www.vox.com/culture/2016/12/28/14109892/debbie-reynolds-dies-singing-in-the-rain-clip Reynolds landed the part of Kathy Selden in Singin’ in the Rain, the 1952 classic that would launch her career. She was to sing and dance opposite Donald O’Connor and Gene Kelly, lauded Hollywood mainstays with decades of performing experience, while she had almost none, and zero dancing experience to speak of. That’s why, as Reynolds would later tell it, Kelly wasn’t too thrilled about her casting. Speaking to the UK’s Sunday Express in 2013, Reynolds wryly recounted how Kelly dismissed her lack of experience and showed little sympathy when she danced so much during filming that her feet bled: "My feet were bleeding from all that dancing and when I pointed it out, Gene would say 'Clean it up!' He was very sentimental like that!” But Reynolds wasn’t scared of Kelly, nor of the prospect of starring in a huge musical with a scant résumé. “You know, I was so dumb,” she said to the American Film Institute in 2012 with a self-aware smile, “that I didn’t feel you could fail. I felt [the part] was me, and I marched straight ahead.” There’s no better scene from Singin’ in the Rain to illustrate Reynolds’s natural talent and hardworking nature — she’d only been learning to dance for three months when the movie was filmed — than the exuberant number “Good Morning.” Reynolds literally goes toe to toe with O’Connor and a 37-year-old Kelly, matching them step for kick-ball-change’d step as she tip-taps around the set with a perpetual grin. Between Reynolds’s natural charisma and the two men dancing on either side of her in virtually identical outfits, it’s hard not to focus squarely on her, a brilliant performer who willed her inexperience into submission with sheer determination and skill. “To dance with Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor in three months — well, anyone else should’ve passed out,” Reynolds told AFI. “But I didn’t. I just thought, ‘Well, let’s get started.’” The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly
