J.J. Abrams was all praise for late 'extraordinary' Carrie
Fisher and her 'beautiful and not long enough journey' at the recently concluded
Golden Globe Awards.
According to People magazine, Abrams, who directed Fisher
for 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens,' told reporters, 'It was beautiful and
not long enough. She was extraordinary and it's impossible to really quantify
the impact she had on not just legions of movies and books, but also her friends.'
On the same note, Golden Globes honoured the late actress and
her mother Debbie Reynolds, at the award show.
He continued, 'The wisdom, the wit, the heart. She was
like no other, so she's deeply missed.'
The director even mentioned that although they worked together
recently, he knew Fisher for nearly two decades.
'I knew her actually since '96,' he said. 'Working
with her, I got to know her better because it was as intense as it was. I feel
truly blessed that I had the opportunity to work with her and be a friend.'
Fisher died on December 27, at age 60, after suffering a heart-attack
while on a flight from London to Los Angeles. Her mother, Reynolds, 84, died
just one day later, after being rushed to the hospital following a possible
stroke.
