The deaths won't stop in 2017. We've reached the time when the boom in famous people coincides with ages where death is more likely. It's all dead slebs from here on out.
Very sad. A star in my favourite movie series and another of my favourite films (Blues Brothers). Absolutely beautiful back in the day and had her battles with drugs. Incredibly funny and seemingly a straight talking honest person. Up there with the loss of Bowie for me this year. RIP indeed.
RIP. Carrie studied briefly in London and was a couple of years after me in the same institution. I remember as a student being impressed that she could hail a cab to go places whilst I bunked fares as much as I could get away with. Will be sadly missed.
"We have been given a challenging illness, and there is no other option than to meet those challenges. Think of it as an opportunity to be heroic – not “I survived living in Mosul during an attack” heroic, but an emotional survival. An opportunity to be a good example to others who might share our disorder."
From Carrie Fisher's advice column for The Guardian. I remember reading this a couple weeks ago and, as someone who suffers with a mental illness, it was a very touching notion.
Gobsmacked by Debbie Reynolds dying, too. Grief sure is a powerful emotion. If there is an afterlife, hopefully they're having a fine old time together.
Just horrific for the family - literally dying of grief. In some ways, maybe a blessing that she won't have to live without her daughter. No parent should have to be at the funeral of a child and now she won't have to go through that.

Smart, sassy and very cool.
RIP
Princess Leia convinced the 9 year old me that girls were not smelly but were actually completely excellent.
Requiescat in pace.

tough time for your Mother, Debbie Reynolds(84) who was a big star back in the day.
