Look. 2016 has a very well established MO. 2016 does not kill people we want to die. Fonda, Bergdahl, Manning, etc? Free pass. Fidel Castro? Too old for even 2016 to overlook.

It was my understanding that Ms. Fisher didn't want to live in Donald Trump's America anyway.

National Review Online had this take on it: Linky

I think it comes down to different people handle life's issues in different ways.
Kinda soon, but since NRO and Randy say it's OK:

When I was about 10 years old, I saw Debbie Reynolds in a movie, and had a terrible crush on her! As a commentary on youth, I can no longer remember the name of the movie, but I thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world, until I saw Judy Rutherford in the 5th grade, at which point Debbie Reynolds became "Who?"

Rich wrote:FWIW, I recall a couple of stories I heard about Fisher participating in orgies with the Sharon Tate crowd before Manson did his thing. These stories were supposedly told by Fisher herself. But then, Polansky was probably involved so there's that.

Didn't make me think any less of her because I didn't worship her in the first place. I just chalked it up to Hollywood and studio politics. Plus, anyone who would wear perfectly good cinnimon buns in her hair. :oops:
I find that hard to believe--Fisher would have not quite reached her 13th birthday when the Manson/Tate murders happened.

Carrie would probably be saying right about now, "Isn't that just like my mom. Even upstages me in death."

That sounds like her sense of humor, but honestly? The upstaging was circumvented by the nature of Carrie Fisher's death: drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own bra.
