Today is the day that the late Carrie Fisher finally gets her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a journey that involved the help and care of fans who were keen for Carrie to be recognised.
“The first time we met each other, it was the first time we felt a sense of belonging,” said Line Family members Jason Thomas. “The day (Fisher died), I decided there needed to be a place for everyone to grieve together.
“And so, I ran down here. I went to a craft store. I bought a bunch of scrapbook lettering, and I placed the first letters. Then my friends showed up. It got bigger and bigger, and I had not idea that was going to happen.”
The makeshift star remained on the Walk for about 10 days. Mourning fans left light sabers and other ‘Star Wars’ items alongside candles and flowers. The star included the message: “Carrie Fisher, May the Force be with you always. Hope.”
As fans of Carrie know, this certainly isn’t the first star that’s been laid on the streets of Hollywood in her honour.
