and Michael; if you didnt receive the cover you were hoping
for, youll find instructions on how to purchase the other at
right. Our sincere condolences go out to these stars families
and friends, as well as to the loved ones of General Hospital

played Father Mulcahy on M*A*S*H)both of whom also passed

SPOILER ALERT
Sherlock Shocker:
Her Last Bow
Showrunner Steven Mofat clues us in
on the PBS series future after that jawdropping departure. B Y J A M E S H I B B E R D
Sherlock producers may have promised season 4 would be darker, but nobody expected
this pitch-black premiere twist. Mary (Amanda
Abbington), former superagent and beloved
wife to Dr. Watson (Martin Freeman), takes a
fatal bullet for Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch), driving a massive wedge between the
mystery-solving partners and sending the
season into whats promised to be an unprecedented exploration of grief. The rift between
them will be real and will never completely go
away, says showrunner Steven Mofat. The
emotionally grueling tone is unusual for a
series thats often a rather upbeat proceduraland could even lead to an end for the
drama. Sherlock might be the only show on
TV that is produced around its stars schedules (rather than the other way around), and
Cumberbatch and Freeman have both
recently been abducted by a mastermind
even more powerful than Moriarty: Marvel.
(Cumberbatch will appear as Doctor Strange
in two upcoming films, while Freeman will
reprise his role as antiterrorism commander
Everett Ross in Black Panther.) Plus, the actors
have expressed some doubt in recent interviews as to whether theyll be hanging out
again at 221B anytime soon. I dont know
whether [season 4] has a finality to itbut it
certainly had a feeling of a pause, Freeman
said. And I am never afraid of ending things.
Neither are Sherlocks writers, apparently.

Dedicated duo Mark Wahlberg

their focus on heroic American
tales with Patriots Day,
a tense thriller about the Boston
Marathon bombing (opening

Since collaborating on
the 2013 war film Lone
Survivor, Mark Wahlberg,
45, and director Peter
Berg, 54, have forged a personal
and professional bond that is almost
a brand. In the past five months,
theyve released two films back-toback about brave Everyguys
struggling through true-life disasters.
Septembers Deepwater Horizon cast
Wahlberg as an oil-rig technician
weathering the 2010 BP explosion.
And now theyve reteamed for
Patriots Day, which stars Bostonbred Wahlberg as a policeman who
witnesses the terrorist bombing at
the 2013 Boston Marathon and joins
the hunt for the perpetrators. EW

This was the lament of actress and recovering addict Suzanne Vale, the lead
character of Carrie Fishers 1987 novel Postcards From the Edge. Its a funny
line, but in the book Fisher followed it with a quick dismissal, describing
the character who was loosely based on herself as the glib martyr. On
the page, as in life, Fisher was the master of calling out nonsenseeven her
own. When she died on Dec. 27, several days after suffering a heart attack
at the end of a trans-Atlantic flight, the 60-year-old actress, author, and
raconteur left a pop culture void in the form of her perpetually arched eyebrow. As Princess Leia in the Star Wars films, she was a faithful and fearless
revolutionary, facing down Darth Vader, Jabba the Hutt, and every other
intergalactic rogue, with the kind of moxie Jedis only dream about. In real
life, Fisher endlessly mocked her characters cinnamon-bun hairdo, golden
slave bikini, and fluctuating faux-British accent. By the time of 2015s The
Force Awakens, released 38 years after the original, the wiseass actress and

vital humor to countless others facing similar struggles. Her scars werent visible, but
talking and writing about them was her way
of refusing to hideand encouraging
others to do the same.
Fisher was also unabashed about her
family and love life. As the child of the late
crooner Eddie Fisher and singer-actress
Debbie Reynolds, who died at age 84 one
day after her daughter, Fisher was born into
turmoil, with a father who abandoned them
when she was a toddler for a romance with
Elizabeth Taylor. The insecurities and
upheaval of those early years provided
fodder for endless anecdotes but also
haunted her throughout a life that was anything but steadyexcept for the bond with
her daughter, actress Billie Lourd, and
maybe her French bulldog, Gary, a stoic
constant companion in her later years.
Her own traumas and dramas were never
off-limits. In her 2016 memoir, The Princess
Diarist, she explored a brief fling with thenmarried costar Harrison Ford during the
making of the original Star Wars. In her stage
show Wishful Drinking, Fisher simultaneously sneered at heartfelt breakup songs

AFTER LEIA
Leia will live onif only for one more
film. Before her unexpected death,
Carrie Fisher had already completed
her work as General Organa for
director Rian Johnsons follow-up to
The Force Awakens, the still-untitled
Episode VIII, due Dec. 15.
Lucasfilm hasnt commented on
what Fishers death means for the franchise, and obviously any involvement
she may have had in 2019s Episode IX
will be reevaluated in the weeks and
months to come. Rogue One digitally
re-created Fishers 1977 look for a
cameo, and the technique also gave
a supporting role to Peter Cushings
Grand Mof Tarkin, even though
the actor died in 1994. But the films
visual-efects supervisors have said
this expensive and time-consuming
method should be used sparingly.
For now, Fishers Star Wars family
has focused on saying goodbye to the
actress who brought Leia to life. Eventually, theyll have to figure out how
to say goodbye to the character, too.

Freedom: George Michael, about the making of Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1, which is

interested in writing a memoir. Up until the end of his life, Michael was determined

when he heard someone was making a prequel to 2009s Taken, which starred Liam
Neeson as an exCIA agent who used his
very particular set of skills to rescue his
kidnapped daughter. However, he changed
his tune once hed read the script, written
by former Homeland EP Alexander Cary,
and discovered it captured the relentless
essence of the original movie.
This propulsive action series follows
Bryan Mills (Standen), who joins a blackops team after losing someone close to
him. This was the opportunity to create a
character where there was already sort of
a brand behind it, says Cary. But the
character had to be created, because in the
films you were joining him pretty late on.
The first season will track Mills as he
develops that aforementioned skill set
while taking on everything from a kidnapping to an international bank heist.
Hes learning what its like to be a covert
action spy, to be someone in this world
when your moral compass is correct and
trying to survive in a world thats not,

Totally. Like wearing a Fitbit. [Microdosing] has what I call the Adderall
efect, and the Prozac efect. I dont
mean literally, obviously. But its
stimulating, and it does make it easier to focus. It enhances neuroplasticity, so you find yourself making
these connections that are really
exhilarating as a creative person.
