But how much more fulfilling a life she would have live with stable caring parents who were in a happy marriage. Fame and fortune are very tempting, but I would rather a safe and happy home over being feted and celebrated by Ellen and Oprah and have Ricky Gervais tweet his condolences when you're dead.Real Dealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09094294591539900958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-22157031056721578412016-12-29T14:57:51.138-05:002016-12-29T14:57:51.138-05:00A perfect case study of the mental, emotional, and...A perfect case study of the mental, emotional, and relationship problems that result from crummy parents and a broken family. Mix in Hollywood, money, and drugs, you have a perfect storm that makes things even worse.

The one significant departure from this is the early signaling (although it occurs nearly at the end of the film) of a special bond with Luke as she "hears" him calling to her via the Force after his fall/escape from Vader.Ken Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01398980914190503708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-50715981636236808382016-12-28T10:56:04.869-05:002016-12-28T10:56:04.869-05:00I always liked her acerbic humor.

I don't have the same capacity to generate that kind of humor myself, but I'm drawn to people who do.<br /><br />Apparently she was agnostic. All too late for the certain knowledge of the truth that she has been grated at this hour past expiration to help her any. I'll miss her.Jim Pembertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446388434272680014noreply@blogger.com
