Appearance. The new Star Wars movie is the latest rage, and I have plans to see it today. Although this movie is a fantasy, there is a bigger reality to the aspect of original cast members. Stars who appeared in the original movie back in 1977 have aged. Apparently Carrie Fisher is getting the brunt of this reality in the reaction to the viewing audience. However, I think she handled this beautifully with the following words, "Youth and beauty are not accomplishments, they're the temporary happy by-products of time and/or DNA. Don't hold your breath for either." What wise, and wonderful words. These are words a girl could never have uttered. Now that Fisher is on the cusp of sixty, she has traded her physical beauty for an even better type of beauty; wisdom. I see too many young stars as they start to enter aging take drastic means to stay young. Staying healthy, and taking care of yourself are all important as we age. However, as gravity has a way of taking over, so does bravery and self-acceptance. Feeling comfortable in your own skin, albeit a more crepy version has merit. You go Princess Leia!
