    My heart just sanked. Been a long time since I shed a actual tear over a famous person's death. I grew up watching and loving her. :(

    I remember her on Star Wars back in 77 and she is part of that series of movies. She would be sorely missed.

    That is so true after the new Star Wars flick in late 2017.
