A45240347 - Carrie Fisher - Actress and Writer - pageturner

Thanks for elaborating, Elentari, I was just checking that you meant that

No worries.

Fantastic

I would like to sincerely apologize for bringing this one up again
>>While this was true (the pair were together for a while), it was probably to silence...<<

as it's been hashed over quite a bit - but it still needs just a little tweak imo - on my very first read-through, I understood it to mean that she did in fact get the part because she slept with g.l. How about
->While this is true that the pair were together for a while, it was probably aimed to silence the...<-



This is a great phrase - really great.
>>compulsive reading for those who appreciate candour laced with acerbic wit<<



It characterizes her so extremely well - I'd leave it exactly where it is and wouldn't change a word - and I wonder if you could additionaly put something to the same effect earlier on? Just the same description only rephrased - because it seems to be how she managed to survive the trench wars of hollywood.

Her hairstyle was actually iconic - leading me to wonder if that very word might not be put in here:

>>This *iconic* image was parodied in the popular...<<

Thanks paily
Tweaked and added a little more to the intro

<>

I've done more research now, and expanded the Paul Simon section.

And added an intro by Paul at the beginning

Well, that's some interesting added info

Not sure about this sentence - >Touchingly, both now speak highly of the other and painful events fade with time, to be replaced with fond memories of once-shared love.<

Bit Hallmark innit?

Nah, that's pathos

Does that look like Carrie Fisher to any of you?

I do know it's "Maria" winner Connie Fisher, by the way. I've emailed contactmusic's website to report their error.

What is that photographer behind her taking a picture of? Her thighs?

Blimey, that was quick. The link now goes to "Connie Fisher" and the webmaster has emailed me thanking me for pointing it out

Probably relieved I wasn't Connie Fisher's lawyer...

From Carrie to Connie - now that's bathos

Anything else?

It would be nice if this were on the FP in time for the new US President's Inauguration Ball

(it would be nice )

Indeed!

Ooooh, the Ball is next weekend!

Is it always a "pajama" Ball, pailaway, or have they picked that just 'cos it rhymes with "Obama"?
