She was my babysitter when I was growing up. We didn't believe her story that she was THAT Lucy until the local paper wrote a brief piece about a date she went on with Julian.
It's sad to hear that she has passed but I take solace in that she is free from pain and hope that her family will soon be free from the pain of their loss.
@edna electro: do you know if she was tired of the song or did she like it? if it were me, i would have "i'm THE lucy" tattooed on my forehead. then again, i worship in the temple of the fabulous four.

@Jamie Sommers: LOL. Now you've got my imagination working...Do you KNOW how much I would pay for the privilege of seating my really, really uptight mother next to Carrie Fisher at dinner and then just sitting back and watching?
What the hell is wrong with her face? Hey, I'm an olds and I don't have the cheekbones (or anything )I had 30 years ago, but I think the meds and the shocks (and maybe some Hollywood surgeon voodoo) have done her something odd.
@Dottie Gale:You want to inject her and listen to jazz?
I love that episode! Carrie Fisher, Tracy's dogfighting and Alec Baldwin channeling Fred Sanford (among others)... it's the episode I use to recruit followers to the 30 Rock cult.
In agreement with a lot of others, Matt Lauer is a smart guy that acts like a total goober and is compensated with millions of dollars. Is there a job with enough money that would induce me to act like a goober on teevee? Maybe, but since I haven't been offered it yet, I'll stick with being a smartass in my current position.
All of that ranted out and said, I love Carrie Fisher's books, she is brilliant and talented, and yes, now looks like my Great Aunt Carol dressed for a museum brunch or something. Heh.

How great it must have been to grow up knowing that song was about her!

Thanks Jessica and Jezzie - as you know it's slamming winter rain in NYC; I needed this today. :-)
P.S. Does anyone else think Matt is so sleep deprived that he needs some Continuing Ed in "How to Interview"?

But she did seem to be slurring her words a bit - seemed a bit Kathleen Turner T.V. drunk - if you know what I mean...
