Viewing Notes

Only became aware of this movie during this past week when Carrie Fisher died. Sounded interesting. Weird thing is that Carrie really seems older in this role as if she aged 10 years in the span of 3 years. Having just watched Under the Rainbow yesterday which was released in 1981 she looks so young in that. I can speculate why but that would be inappropriate given this insane week with her passing and her mother dying the following day.
