The world said goodbye to Carrie Fisher all over again at the 71st Annual Tony Awards on Sunday night. Fisher’s “Star Wars” co-star Mark Hamill introduced the ceremony’s “In Memoriam” segment onstage, paying tribute to the “princess” along with her mother, Debbie Reynolds, and Broadway great Gene Wilder. Legends of the stage, artists from behind the scenes, princes of show business ... and a princess,” Hamill said, placing his hand on his heart. Fisher might have been most famous for her work on screen, but she was also revered in the Broadway community. “Underneath all the bravado and the acerbic remarks and the cutting-edge humor, she was a really vulnerable woman,” Hamill said of Fisher backstage, according to People.
