Yeah, me too. Wondered when she had the heart attack whether she would survive or not.To be honest I have been expecting this news since her heart attack the other day. It seems 2016 has decided to go out with a bang, RIP
I loved Watership Down. Great book and great film too.The author of watership down has died as well, hated that film.
So sad about Carrie Fisher

You sound like Frank Doberman.Jesus it never ends. Since Christmas Eve: Parfitt, Michael, Smith, Adams and now Fisher. 2016 has been shit in so many ways for me, both personally and more widely...from Brexit to Trump and Bowie, etc. Roll on 2017.
Yeah, should have been Amy and Eddie.The wrong Adams and Fisher have gone RIP!
Never heard of them,I was thinking of Gerry and Tim!Yeah, should have been Amy and Eddie.

I quite enjoyed the book be fair - like Orwell's Animal Farm, and other writers, he's having a stab at capitalists/lefties/commies/homophobes (delete as appropriate).The author of watership down has died as well, hated that film.

Yes very sad news about Carrie, she certainly had some personal problems over the years, guess fame and fortune doesn't always get you health and happiness. RIP, her Leia charactor helped establish strong female movie roles.
I only want her to die now to retain the memory of her looks. I love her to bits.Not Amy Adams while she is alive I still have a chance
I was thinking the same thing, but came to the conclusion that you generally have more of a view on those that touched you in some way. If I grieved/thought about everyone that passed on I'd be a basket case.Are celebrities worth more than ordinary people? If you read the local obituaries, you'll find lots of people with amazing stories to tell that no-one has ever heard of.
Really good pointI was thinking the same thing, but came to the conclusion that you generally have more of a view on those that touched you in some way. If I grieved/thought about everyone that passed on I'd be a basket case.
Well, maybe not in many cases, but their deaths affect an awful lot more people. People can be immensely touched by the contribution of work left by an artist, or actor, or writer and their works and songs and performances are left behind to be enjoyed forever.Are celebrities worth more than ordinary people? If you read the local obituaries, you'll find lots of people with amazing stories to tell that no-one has ever heard of.
But when you view an actor or actress, you aren't really seeing the real person. Many people are charming on the screen but nasty off it. Yes, I liked Carrie Fisher in the Star Wars movies, but she destroyed herself with drugs and drink. Many unknown people have led far more valuable lives than celebrities. But I get the points made by the people above.
I wonder how many of the famous deaths will be drink or drug related.
Of course anybody dying is sad, but I do find it hard to actually feel emotional about effectively somebody I don't know personally dying.
You never had a 'hero' die then that has affected you? A Martin Luther King, or a Ghandi, or and Elvis, or a Bowie, or Lennon?Yes I agree never bothers me in the slightest unless it's a family or friend
Well said.I don't think you have to personally know someone to mourn them. If you're sending out 'RIP their family will be in my thoughts' tweets every time anyone famous dies it's a bit disingenuous (plus your fingers would be fucking knackered from all the tweets this year) but with Carrie Fisher for instance people grew up with Star Wars and she also represented a woman who was more than a damsel in distress type, which certainly inspired a lot of current actors by the reaction.
It's certainly a different kind of grief but a valid one all the same.
