Carrie Fisher's Perfect Farewell on <em>Catastrophe</em>
The night before she suffered the heart attack that would kill her, Carrie Fisher had dinner with Sharon Horgan, the creator and co-star of Amazon’s Catastrophe. Horgan later recalled to the Associated Press, “She had been at the antique market earlier that day and she was showing me all these lovely little bits and pieces that she bought for her mom to bring back.”
That small anecdote gains a little more resonance in light of the final episode of ’s , in which Fisher gave one of the final performances of her storied life. Her character Mia is a homebody and kook who, throughout , occasionally shows uphas a jones for shopping. At the funeral she, impolitely, wonders if her son can take her shopping for “nice Irish wool sweaters.” Later, she stays up to the wee hours ordering antique tea kettles on eBay.
