He did LITERALLY play The Joker. :nod: :smirk:


I think he said "if I had known about them back then, I would've been devastated" :redface: :lol:

And The Trickster :lmao: but that's for his thread :lol:

Welcome :hug:

Thank you very much.

I ordered "The Princess Diarist". It should arrive next week sometime. I am actually afraid to read it. I will let you guys know my thoughts upon completion.

I'm like halfway through it but couldn't finish yet, it's so nostalgic that I kinda wanna let it last forever :lol:

Aww. :lol::love: I would love to read it to know more about what happened with Carrie and Harrison. :')

I saw it on the store here the other day but it was the translation version and it felt kinda weird reading it, if I get read it it will have to be in English. :lol:

I just find it really warming that they were canon on and off screen :sigh:

Yes. :in_love: And they did have amazing chemistry. :sigh:

So, the book came yesterday. A week early. I skimmed through the interesting parts *affair.

Yeah, it is just really, really sad. I will give a full report when I have finished the book completely.

But to me it seems that she was in love with him until the day she died. It is just heart-breaking.

A read a few of her poems / diary entries and why did she hate herself so much?

I hate myself. I can't look in the mirror. I know I am ugly, fat, and gross, stupid and that I am going to die alone.

It is just difficult to know someone as awesome as Carrie felt the same way I feel every single day of my life. She was a hundred times smarter than me and a million times more beautiful.

Is it a female thing for us to hate ourselves?

It's not just a female thing. Lots of men feel that way too, they're just less likely to admit it. It's a depression thing. Carrie had major problems with depression. She was bi-polar.

Yeah she had a lot of issues that took a while to get over. By the end of her life and career, she was speaking very openly about it and served as a great influence to people who suffer from mental disease :love:

I think Carrie released these diaries, partially, as a way to reveal how ~normal~ actors are in reality. :nod: They think audiences have a set view that they are defined by the characters they play on screen (particularly with a role so phenomenal as Princess Leia) and it was a chance for Carrie to show people, "we're not the perfect beings you see in the movies. We go through the same problems and emotions as you all do; we're just better at hiding it."


And she did say about Harrison, "I love him; I'll always feel something for him" - so yes, I get the distinct impression that he left a lasting impression on her heart :nod: As sad as it seems when you're reading it, I think it's equally sweet that they stayed close until her final days. Promotion for TFA and their scenes together showed a lot of comfort between them and it was nice to see them playfully scold each other in character 40 years on. :love:

Yeah her love for him was so clear and beautiful and inspiring. This is a love that will live on forever :love: Both hers and Han/Leia's.

^ I think it's beautiful that both Han/Leia and Harrison/Carrie have such enduring relationships. It all adds to the incredible legacy of the Star Wars universe. :)

Omg, how is it possible that I'm not on the shippers list already?! Add me, please :) I've been so dived into Reylo lately, that I completely neglected my OTP from the original trilogy :love:
