Katherine Langford

Australian actress Katherine Langford, who stars in “13 Reasons Why” as Hannah Baker, a high school student who committed suicide, recently expressed gratitude to fans on photo-sharing site Instagram.

“Marking one week since ‘13 Reasons Why’ dropped on Netflix, and the response has been so overwhelming … This is a story I feel affects so many people,” Langford captioned.

She also encouraged fans who may be going through depression or abuse to seek help: “Please know that you are never alone, and that there are places to go and people who care.”

The 13-episode series also stars Dylan Minnette as Hannah’s friend Clay Jensen, who listens to a set of cassette tapes that tell Hannah’s tragic tale.

Princess Leia ‘resurrection’

Carrie Fisher, who passed away in December, will be returning to “Star Wars,” after all. While it has been announced by Lucasfilm that she will not be digitally inserted into the film like she was in the spinoff “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” she will be back as resistance figure Leia Organa in the third part of the new trilogy.

The late actor’s brother, Todd Fisher, was quoted in reports that he and Carrie’s daughter Billie Lourd discussed her return: “Both of us were like, ‘Yes, how do you take her out of it?’ And the answer is you don’t. I think the people deserve to have her.”
