IN FOR FISHER
actress and Carrie Fisher’s mother
and she will be missed profoundly.”
Simon Halls, publicist, on behalf of Fisher’s daughter,
actress Billie Lourd
Funny and emotionally fearless.
(Han Solo), actor
She was our princess, and the actress who played her blurred into one gorgeous, fiercely independent and ferociously funny, take-charge woman who took our collective breath away. Determined and tough, but with a vulnerability that made you root for her and want her to succeed and be happy. She played such a crucial role in my professional and personal life, and both would have been far emptier without her. I am grateful for the laughter, the wisdom, the kindness and even the bratty, self-indulgent crap my beloved space-twin gave me through the years. Thanks, Carrie. I love you.”
(Luke Skywalker), actor
(Lando Calrissian), actor
“I thought I had got what I wanted under the tree. I didn’t. In spite of so many thoughts and prayers from so many.
I am very, very sad.”
(C3PO), actor
“I am extremely sad to learn of Carrie’s passing. She was wonderful to work with. Condolences to her friends, family and fans around the world.”
(Darth Vader), actor
“There are no words for this loss. Carrie was the brightest light in every room she entered. I will miss her dearly.”
(Chewbacca), actor “I have always stood in awe of Carrie. Her observations always made me laugh and gasp at the same time. She didn’t need The Force. She was a force of nature, of loyalty and
of friendship. I will miss her very much.”
veteran director and producer
“I’m deeply saddened to learn of the death of Carrie Fisher. I will miss our bantering. A wonderful talent and light has been extinguished.”
Star Trek actor
“Millions fell in love with her as the indomitable Princess Leia; she will always have a special place in the hearts of ‘Star Wars’ fans, as well as all of us who were lucky enough to know her personally.”
