Had 84 years and didn’t survive the disappearance of her daughter, Carrie Fisher, just a day before. Hollywood loses almost at once two of the most well known faces of two times a significant characteristic of the american film: if Fisher was princess Leia of Star Wars, and royalty of the blockbusters, Reynolds was Kathy Selden Serenade in the Rain, which co-starred with Gene Kelly and Donald O’connor, and star of the musical "thegolden age".

The American Film Institute considers the Serenade in the Rain (1952) the best musical ever of the american film – soon, it is also the most remarkable career of Debbie Reynolds; but it is not the only one. After making his debut in the film the age of 16 and participate in some movies from the Warner Bros. – the studio who discovered it in a beauty contest – was hired in 1950 by MGM, appearing immediately in a film with Fred Astaire (Three Words) and creating a hit in the film the next Two Weeks of Love, a duet with Carleton Carpenter.

The music filled the whole decade of the 1950′s Debbie Reynolds, who appeared opposite with Bobby Van, Dick Powell, Jane Powell, Frank Sinatra, Bette Davis, Ernest Borgnine, Leslie Nielsen, or Glenn Ford. The recognition of the Academy came much later, when nominated for the academy Award for Best Actress for performance in The Millions of Molly Brown (1964), the story of a girl simple in search of a husband and a better life. Was 31 years old.

at the time, Debbie Reynolds had already separated from the singer Eddie Fisher (1928-2010), with whom he had two sons (Todd and Carrie) and that the two of them are openly with the actress Elizabeth Taylor. Was married in second marriage with Harry Karl, who was divorced in 1973. Marry-went a third time, to Richard Hamlett, a union that lasted from 1984 to 1996.



Reynolds was born in El Paso, Texas, 1 April 1932. The diminutive by which she was known only came later. On the birth certificate, it reads: Mary Frances Reynolds. He moved with his family to California (Burbank) when he was only seven years old. The daughter of Raymond Francis Reynolds, a carpenter company railway Southern Pacific Railroad, and Maxine Harmon, of british ancestry (English, scottish, and irish), was created according to the principles of a methodist church in north america.

it was Still escuteira when he recorded Serenade in the Rain; still I felt compelled to give precedence to the initiatives of the "community" – as they say in the USA – meets the requirements that a large studio had then for an actress who was on the verge of becoming a movie star global. Although the Serenade in the Rain be his sixth film, it was there that his career swayed to the decade and a half, and the next time that cemented his name in Hollywood.

In 1969, he came to the flat with a sitcom in the name itself – The Debbie Reynolds Show. Made a single season, but the small screen would be a constant: after a decade of the 1970′s to a very small degree both in TV as in film, he returned in the 1980s to a few episodes of The Love Boat and from then on, and throughout the five decades the following, she appeared in series and television drama (the last of which was Behind the Candelabra, Steven Soderbergh, in which she played the mother of the extravagant Liberace) and gave voice to animated characters.

participation in Will & Grace earned him a nomination for an Emmy in 2000, and is one of several occasions of recognition, which has returned to be at his job in the wake of Mother, where he played the role of the title character from the movie Albert Brooks. It was for this work that was appointed by the fifth and final time to the Golden Globes and it was with Mother to debut in the trading rooms that have earned the right to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in 1997.

In the nearly 70-year career, Debbie Reynolds received several awards. The last of which came directly from the Academy of motion picture Arts and Sciences – Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, an honorary academy Award that was assigned in the edition of 2016. Recovering from surgery, the actress was not at the ceremony. The eulogy was done by Meryl Streep, who qualified for Debbie Reynolds as "one of the stars of the most beloved of several generations."

Died Carrie Fisher, the princess of the stars, and Hollywood – the Public.en

Carrie Fisher, the actress who will be known as princess Leia of Star Wars, died in Los Angeles at the age of 60. In part star reluctant, and the voice of a certain sarcasm about the industry in which it has released and was released, was also a writer and screenwriter. It was “unique,” said Harrison Ford about his eternal co-star.

Fisher had suffered a heart attack on Friday during a flight between London and Los Angeles and was admitted to the hospital since then. The news of his death, on the morning of this Tuesday (local time Los Angeles), was confirmed by a spokesperson for the family. Fisher was shooting the comedy series Catastrophe, whose tread was coming back on Friday from London. Your state was given as stabilized in the last few days, but the actress will have suffered a new heart attack and did not survive.



The actress is a member of a family with roots in the golden era of Hollywood – the daughter of singer Eddie Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds, to her half-sister is Joely Fisher, also actress. His fame became planetary age of 19, when he was a young princess Leia, one of the central characters of Star Wars – A New Hope, or Star wars in Portuguese. In addition to the films of the original trilogy of Star WarsStar wars, 1977, The Empire Strikes back and The Return of the Jedi – Fisher returned to the paper Read in the Awakening of The Force, one of the most profitable film of all time.

It shared some scenes of emotion, with Harrison Ford, the face with which the popular culture will always pair it. She, sassy and courageous in the movies, had said to him “I love you“. He, even more arrogant and angry in the space, answered him with a makeshift “I know“. Almost 40 years later, she still respectfully greet him with a kiss on the lips out of the screen. That is what he did in London a year ago, when he described the Star Wars as a "family" and signed a doll Read of a fan. This was the life of a princess fictional forever young in the plastic of the toys of the geeks, on the sidelines of a press conference.

But Carrie Fisher was princess Leia, version heroine feminist icon or sex of the generations of the 1970s and ‘ 80s. Or that the daughter of Eddie Fisher, who took care of the singer in the last years of his life – the marriage to Debbie Reynolds, who is now 84 years old, and also released in Hollywood at 19 years old as the solar Kathy Serenade in the Rain, finished after a long audience with Elizabeth Taylor. Actress in a comedy successful with A Love that is Inevitable, Rob Reiner, or in The ‘Burbs, he has worked with directors such as Woody Allen (Hannah and her sisters) or John Landis (The Duet of the Rope/Blues Brothers). Wore almost always your voice is increasingly hoarse with age, to play with the industry, tell stories from their own life more or less dignifying or to denounce what to him was upsetting.

“Carrie was single, brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. Lived his life courageously,” said Harrison Ford on Tuesday in a statement in reaction to the death of his co-protagonist.

diet forced to the famous bikini golden The Return of the Jedi, his admiration for George Lucas, the man who chose it at the expense of Sissy Spacek, Jodie Foster or Terri Nunn (singer of Berlin) for the role that would define his career, has not prevented it from defending its position as actress in a film and in an industry dominated by visions of male. “Carrie has redefined the hero women of our age there is more of a generation”, he postulated Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm and producer of the movie Star Wars. His struggles with drugs and bipolar disorder became public, his directness with them gave him recognition, and fed part of his career as a writer.

I Admired Dorothy Parker and distinguished himself in this field, not only with his much advertised book of memories released just a month ago, The Princess Diarist, in that has revealed to have had a romance “intense” with Harrison Ford during the filming of the original trilogy of Star Wars, but also with works such as the acclaimed Postcards from the edge (a novel from 1987 with traces of autobiographical in that spoke of drug addiction in the 1970s, or of the relation of the untimely with the mother).

The book would be made into a movie in 1990 – Memories of Hollywood, directed by Mike Nichols, has put Meryl Streep and Shirley McLaine in those roles, that in 2016 Carrie hugged him from the front and in its own name with the documentary Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. in This film, which showcased at the Cannes film Festival this year pays tribute to the turbulent and passionate relationship with the mother, who still acts occasionally. As a screenwriter, has signed television episodes of series such as Roseanne or The chronicles of Young Indiana Jones and among his books is another volume autobiographical Wishful Drinking, which was based on a live show.

The figure of the mother was determinant in her life, especially in the perspective sometimes the acid that had as to the star system disposable Hollywood – “Not had any desire to go” in the show business, told the New York Times in 2006, because he saw firsthand how damaged Debbie Reynolds. But you resisted and it was with the mother who came on stage in the play Irene. I was 15 years old. Four years later, Star Warswas the engine that drove all the rest”, as I said a month ago to Rolling Stone.

he Gave her fame and a career whose roles would never have the visibility of Read. The best of success “is money, travel and the people we met. The worst part is, once more, the money, travel and the people you know”, joked in the same interview. “But the worst thing is to be criticized”, he admitted. He participated in the culture of entertainment in life, loving and social – she’s married to Paul Simon, who wrote about the short novel, she danced with the Rolling Stones, suffered a overdose that nearly killed her in the early 1990s. It was the voices in Family Guy, and had numerous appearances in film and on television. Some “herself“, Carrie Fisher made Carrie Fisher’s Sex and the City to The Big Bang Theory, passing by the film Fanboys.

In The Princess Diarist, collected from the diaries which he wrote during the late 1970′s, and footage of the then strange project of a space opera made by the director of American Graffiti, he wrote: "The celebrity perpetual – the one type in which any mention of the name will appeal to a significant percentage of the public, until the day that we die, even though that day may come decades after our last contribution real to the culture – it is very, very rare, reserved for people like Muhammad Ali".

Read, who loved to be “vivaça”, was his paper defining and will probably be your last (in Rogue One, the princess appears on the screen, still young, but thanks to special effects that retrieve old images). Episode VIII of the saga, slated for December 2017, has already been filmed and is in post-production stage. Carrie Fisher resumes his role as Read, but the princess did not live there – he had been promoted to the rank of general.

In real life, the passion between Han Solo and princess Leia was not so glamorous – the Public.en

The romance between Han Solo, played by Harrison Ford, and princess Leia, Carrie Fisher, was one of the most adored by the public. Long wondered if the love between the two characters was not extended to real life. For decades the actress has denied involvement – because he had, at the time of the filming of Star Wars, 19 years. Less 14 than Ford.

But in November this year, Fisher published the book The Princess Diarist (The Princess diaries) where, finally, does the revelation that all were anticipating: a case between Han Solo and Princess Leia in real life. However, the romance was not as glamorous and passionate as on the big screen.

In fact, the actress admits, kept the secret for so many years by shame: Harrison Ford was, at the time of the filming for the movie and during the case among the two, married and the father of two children. But also because you have found a diary of your times of adolescence and decided to transport it to the book.

There account that Harrison Ford, 33-year-old, seduced for the first time in the back seat of a taxi as I was very drunk. From then on, the passion of Fisher Ford grew up. But the reverse has not happened. Incidentally, the actress reports that the weekends were reserved for sex between the two, but, during the week and the shooting, they acted almost as if not to know each other.

"If Harrison was unable to realize that I had feelings for him (at least five, but sometimes up to seven) so he was not as smart as I thought he was – as I knew that he was. This is why I loved him, and he allowed it. This is the calculation but the next one that can form four decades later," writes Fisher.

The writings found in his diary of a teen show that a Fisher often sarcastic and ironic, but also distressed, a time when he was subjected to therapy for the bipolar disorder that had been diagnosed.

The irony and sarcasm is even present when the actress describes Harrison: "Just too beautiful. Not. Not. More than that. It seemed that he could lead the charge in the battle, take the hill, win the duel, be the leader of the world, gluten-free, all without a drip of sweat". But also remembers him as someone distant emotionally, monosyllabic and a little upset.

in addition To the relationship with Harrison Ford, the most discussed theme of the book, Fisher tells us that the trilogy Star Wars became part of herself: "Star Wars was and is my job. You cannot give me fire and I’ll never be able to resign".

But in the penultimate chapter of the work, the actress attacks the conventions of Star Wars where the fans mask of your favourite character, chase autograph and pay for all of this: "I Was caught alive in this barafunda enough times to want to be dead."

The saga of Princess Leia goes on in another galaxy – Diário de Notícias – Lisbon

In 1977, he entered in the history and mythology of the cinema, playing the character of Princess Leia in Star Wars: Carrie Fisher passed away at the age of 60, following a heart attack.

how Many millions of people know how to identify the character of Princess Leia? And, among these millions, how many will know to say the name of the actress that played in the saga of Star Wars? In the answers to these two questions will reside in the more simple epitaph Carrie Fisher: in the popular imagination, she reincarnated as a mythical character. However, the rawness of the story requires us to say that 27 of December 2016 is registered as the date of his death, in Los Angeles, four days after having suffered a cardiac arrest on a flight from London – turned 60 years old on the 21st of October.

Was the daughter of Debbie Reynolds (84 years old, legendary figure of the musical the Serenade in the Rain) and the singer Eddie Fisher (1928-2010), having studied at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London, throughout 1973. He would make his debut in Shampoo (1975), a comedy-drama of Hal Ashby focused on a hairdresser from Beverly Hills played by Warren Beatty. When George Lucas chose to interpret Read in the first Star Wars (1977), among us launched as a Star wars, no one would venture to predict that the adventures of the Rebel Alliance against the sinister Darth Vader could become a such a huge cultural phenomenon and commercial. After all, in the same year the products most typical of Hollywood were Saturday Night Fever, revealing John Travolta, or Annie Hall, the eternal fable of romantic magazine by Woody Allen.

As she once summed up: “I was Born in the middle of the big celebrities. Things could only go smaller.” Such as the Han Solo to Harrison Ford, or Luke Skywalker Mark Hamill, Princess Leia quickly gave entry in the pantheon of the sacred of the adventures intergalactic: Carrie Fisher would pick up the paper in the two following titles, The Empire Strikes back (1980), and The Return of the Jedi (1983), reappearing in the Awakening of The Force (2015). What is certain is that in the private life, things would never be epic or radiosas.

First, it was their troubled relationship with the singer Paul Simon, in a marriage entered into in 1983 and dissolved in the following year. Later, it was the addiction of alcohol, cocaine, and LSD, in a crescendo of dramas psychological, having been diagnosed in 1985, a bipolar disorder. It is true that all of this has become an easy target of the press scandal, but it is not less true that it was the very Carrie Fisher that he made a point of making public many of its problems, in particular assuming as a voice dedicated to promoting medical knowledge and familiarity of mental illness.

your taste for writing led her to publish several novels marked by components of their personal life, with highlight to Postcards from the Edge (1987), centred on a relationship of the untimely of mother and daughter, both actresses. In 1990, the book gave rise to a film of the same name by Mike Nichols (among us: Memories of Hollywood), with Shirley maclaine’s hairstyles and Meryl Streep in the central roles and argument of one’s own Carrie Fisher.

he also Published three volumes of autobiographical, reflecting in particular their problems with alcohol: Wishful Drinking (2008), Shockaholic (2011) and The Princess Diarist (released a little over a month). In the latter, revealed that, during the shooting of the first Star Wars, maintained a dating “intense” with Harrison Ford.

he has Participated in films such as The Duet of the String (John Landis, 1980), hannah and her Sisters (Woody Allen, 1986), or A Love that is Inevitable (Rob Reiner, 1989). In 2014, in an exercise of assumed irony, accepted the invitation of David Cronenberg to appear in Maps to the Stars, a vision caustic behind-the-scenes of Hollywood, assuming the figure of… Carrie Fisher.

Channel A&E cancels suddenly his series on the Ku Klux Klan – the Public.en

Five days after having announced a new documentary series about the Ku Klux Klan, the channel A&E has canceled this project all of a sudden. In a statement issued on the eve of Christmas, the spokesperson of the channel said that the show’s producers paid to participants to "facilitate access", something that The&And only learned now and that is a practice contrary to its policy.

The series of eight episodes should premiere in January and aimed to "look closely to those who work in the rescue of people linked to the promotion of hatred, helping them to leave the Ku Klux Klan – the racist group with a long history of violence against african americans and other groups." "We had already ensured in advance to the public and to our partners – including the [organizations antiracistas] Anti-Defamation League and Color of Change – that there had been no payment to members of hate groups, and at the time we believed to be the reality," says the statement. Now, they explain, they decided “not to proceed with the transmission of this project", produced by a producer outside.

Although some producers of reality TV to pay the people that shoot, the channel stresses that is against this practice in the case of documentaries. "The A&E takes very seriously the authenticity of its programming document and the themes of racism, hatred and violence," he adds in a statement.

The series, titled Generation., was described as a look at the behind the scenes of four powerful families of the Klan, each having a member who was trying to escape from the organization. The producers also focused on the pacifists that try to help these members to leave the KKK. The A&E, a channel known for programs such as Intervention or Scientology and the Aftermath, was shrouded in controversy last week when it announced that the series would exist. Some people argued that any series about the KKK, even on people that leave you, is a way of normalizing a group that promotes hatred, especially after a presidential election in which members of the KKK supported the future President Donald Trump.

In the wake of this adverse reaction, the channel responded by saying that was going to change the title of the series to Escaping the KKK: A Documentary Series Exposing Hate in America to "ensure that no one can be confused as to its purpose and that a title does not serve by itself to normalize the Klan," wrote The&And in a press release. The channel has also announced partnerships with the Anti-Defamation League and Color of Change, and said that both the organizations for the defense of civil rights would produce guides viewing and a compendium education to accompany the series, in addition to taking part in a special episode of the debate.

"For us, this new title and these partnerships, with the add-ons within the series and after the series, in addition to our support plan, reflect more broadly the content of the anti-hate series, and our intention", said the executive vice president of the channel, Rob Sharenow, in a statement in which enlightened the new elements of the documentary. "The aim is to expose and combat the racism and hatred in all its forms, and appreciate the feedback valuable that we have received."

The series is produced by the company, of Los Angeles, This is Just a Test, the same that is behind titles such as I Am Jazz, the program of TLC about a teenage transgender, or Big Rig Bounty Hunters, the History Channel.

The trailer for Escaping the KKK has been removed from YouTube but the New York Times described her first scene: a member of the group to provide hoods of the KKK to their daughters. The series, which was commissioned around a year and a half, will have, according to the New York Times, caused some doubts in The a&E. "we didn’t want the series to be seen as a platform for the views of the KKK," said Sharenow to the New York Times. "Our only political agenda is that we are against hate."
