In Awe of Carrie Fisher
This scene is so good. It really captured the vulnerability of 1980’s single life, and Carrie Fisher nailed it.

Such a hilarious scene- Carrie really was the best part of that movie, in my opinion.
Wishing I could have seen her one woman show in NYC a few years back. Such a strong, sharp, badass woman. What a loss.
I saw her one-woman show. It was amazing. I read that Fisher was very inspired by Dorothy Parker, and that really makes sense to me. Her words will live on.
I love that line about having to spend the rest of your life knowing some other woman was married to your husband. Ha!! That’s how I felt when my college sweetheart married someone else.
So many great lines in that movie. Nora Ephron – what a genius.
