Carrie Fisher...

Consul
Richard Adams died aged 96, his most famous work Watership Down was published in 1972.
Obituary
Speaking personally the first book of his I actually read (rather than watched the animated film) was Shardik. He was always a powerful and compelling writer. At least it can be said he had a good run.

Carrie Fisher! Sad... A week ago, she was in Bruges, now in a galaxy far away.
To see Bruges and die...

Very sad news, but as wise Yoda teaches us, "death is a natural part of life, rejoice for those around you who transform into the force, mourn them do not, miss them do not"

This appeared in the press just recently, after she fell ill. Sadly it was proven wrong

FELIS RESPICIENS
After reading Watership Down, I happened upon Maia in a bookshop. 1129 pages of slavery, rape and torture (not graphic, but integral to the story). I wonder if he ever discovered this site.

Meanwhile in France :
Actress Michèle Morgan (1920-2016), during decades one of the leading ladies of French cinema, dies last week.
Actress Claude Gensac (1927-2016), less known, perhaps, but in France she was a well known comedy actress, most famous for playing 'the wife of Louis de Funes' in ten movies.

It's a manip... She was much more 'endowed' than that...Hum, was it a manip or coming from a movie ?

For those of us of certain age, she will always be our Princess.
But, she was also smart and funny. A few years ago she had a one-woman show that aired on HBO. It's called "Wishful Drinking", the full thing is on Youtube if you want to check it out. She talks about her Hollywood childhood, drugs, alcoholism, depression and that movie role and it's funny as hell. Here's a taste:

I never read "Watership Down" but I did read "Shardik". I didn't like it the first time because it was billed as a fantasy novel like LOTR but it really wasn't. I reread it later and realized how good it was.

Michele Morgan has a connection to this Forum (sort of). She played the title character in 1949's "Fabiola". The first post WWII Euro-epic that featured a large number of crucified women in the arena. Sadly, Mme Morgan wasn't one of them.

I still have that issue of Rolling Stone.
Besides the great Star Wars article, it has a great story by the good Doctor (the late great Dr. Hunter S. Thompson).

Tragedy on top of tragedy: I was just announced that Carrie's mother, Debbie Reynolds, has died.
