I've
never really had much of an opinion of Carrie Fisher; I was indifferent. But
she is actually a hilarious woman. She was at the screening to introduce her
film, but she left before it started. She has been spotted around Cannes with
her dog walking the red carpet. This dog is very prominently featured in the
movie. Her banter makes for great TV cause she is funny. But apart from being
funny, the movie is sweet. It is about her relationship with her mother, Debbie
Reynolds, who I did not realize was her mother. Time has taken its toll on
Reynolds. Her body is succumbing to age, but she continued to perform shows
like she was still young. But also time has faded her star power. She rides her
scooter through a casino in Vegas before her show, and countless people pass
her without even turning their head, unaware that they were in the presence of
a star. HBO also recently made a documentary about Anderson Cooper and his
mother, which I have not seen, but I can't imagine Anderson Cooper is as much
of a riot as Princess Leia.
