Apparently Hamill's Joker in the animated series inspired a character called the Trickster Hamill is now playing on the TV series "The Flash."

It makes me think of some '50s flick where she's a brain in a jar with wires coming out of it...

I'm probably going to get in trouble here, but I'll throw in a dissenting word. While Youth and Beauty aren't accomplishments, fitness is. You get fitness the hard way, through personal work, money helps a little but not much. Fame not at all.

Part of the job of an actor or actress is looking the part. Had Harrison Ford put on a lot of weight and had a beer belly he would either have had to spend months in the gym or he wouldn't have looked as good as he does. In my opinion, in the old and new pictures of Han Solo that have been going around he looks real now.

To be fair, Carrie Fisher has spent the intervening years behind the camera instead of in front of it as Ford has, so she hasn't had the continuous pressure to keep in shape.

This article only serves to illustrate how shallow most editorial writers and critics are. Carrie Fisher has class, her detractors are simply crass.

Bouncing off a comment in the article: Harrison Ford continued with a brilliant movie career, so it makes sense that he gets paid more.

Carrie Fisher rocks, though. Did you see her response to comments on How do I explain to my little girl about "Princess Leia in chains in the gold bikini"? She said something to the effect of, "Tell her that I was kidnapped by a giant slug and put into that bikini against my will. Then tell her that I killed the slug with the very chains he had bound me with."

I have heard gamers rave about Mark Hamel's Joker.

I liked her in the "Man with One Red Shoe" with Tom Hanks, Darryl Hannah and Jim Belushi. Nothing about her aging since SW was a problem in their!

Hamill was literally the typecast actor. Even his appearance in "Just Shoot Me" was all about how typecast he had become. It's why he turned to voice acting - and did it spectacularly for decades. He played several characters on "Batman: the Animated Series" including probably the best Joker of all time.

Old Carrie Fisher still looks appealing to me because an old brain bag is what old dino has become.
We aged along the same time line.

She was in "When Harry Met Sally", playing a friend who Sally tries to fix up with Harry, only to wind up with the friend (Bruno Kirby) who Harry was trying to fix up with Sally.

In the photo provided she seems attractive enough to me. Then again, who can tell anything with any actors picture, a photographer can do almost anything except remove weight......hence all the anorexia in the industry. All things considered....especially here purported drug use, we are fortunate to see her alive at all. It is unfortunate that the level of snarky-ness is such that people tweet such things....but then again, it appears that dealing with such comments is part and parcel of being in the profession of acting.

I love "my body is a brain bag!"

Actually, she was in a lot of shows on TV in onesy twosey episodes and a few were she had longer stints. IMDB has a list, it's fairly long. Now that Han is toast, maybe she will be getting 75 times what everyone else is...

Yes she is, and I am amazed at how little you see of here between SW and now, not a whole lot of material. But she is happy in herself, which is most important. And also is a key for sobriety.

Agreed. I like the way she seems to be focused on her own perspective of herself, and not letting any outside sources push her. Refreshing to see someone of her statue tell the crowds to go take a leap.

I agree with you. Their sizing up how much their fancy or don't fancy a stranger's aging says something about them and nothing about CF.

Instead of talking about CF, they should at the gym admiring their own beauty and accomplishments, something I would strongly support.

I try to ignore it because for every person who does something great like help create an iconic sci-fi character there are countless people who have not accomplished something like that but love to complain.
