Mark Hamill Pens Touching Tribute Letter to Carrie Fisher
Many have paid tribute to Star Wars actor Carrie Fisher after her untimely death at 60, but on Monday, her most famous co-star Mark Hamill stepped in with one long, guest column for The Hollywood Reporter to remember Fisher, who suffered a heart attack on a cross-country flight in December.
In the letter, he wrote about meeting Fisher for the first time:
"You know, she was 19 years old at the time. I was a worldly 24. So I was thinking, 'Oh my God, it'll be like working with a high school kid.' But I was just bowled over. I mean she was just so instantly ingratiating and funny and outspoken. She had a way of just being so brutally candid. I'd just met her but it was like talking to a person you'd known for ten years."
