The
Star Wars universe just lost another
one of its greatest heroines today. Just
over a year prior it was Carrie Fisher, best known as Princess Leia in the Star Wars films and today marks the sad
passing of George Lucas’ trusted associate screenwriter and film producer
Gloria Katz. She was 76.
Best
known for co-producing and co-writing with her husband film director Willard
Huyck (Messiah of Evil; Howard the Duck) and having crafted the
screenplays for American Graffiti, Star Wars and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the veteran Lucasfilm player
left a crucial and indelible mark on the blockbuster movie scene that still
thrives stronger than ever to this day.
Her
contributions to two of the greatest mainstream film franchises in the world
remain incomparable and her efforts shine brightly the films she worked on
which will be cherished and adored until the end of time.
