Carrie Frances Fisher (October 21, 1956 – December 27, 2016) was an American actress and writer. She played Princess Leia in the original ''Star Wars'' films (1977–1983) and reprised the role in'' Star Wars: The Force Awakens'' (2015), ''Star Wars: The Last Jedi'' (2017)—a posthumous release that was dedicated to her—and ''Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker'' (2019), through the use of unreleased footage from ''The Force Awakens''. Her other film credits include ''Shampoo'' (1975), ''The Blues Brothers'' (1980), ''Hannah and Her Sisters'' (1986), ''The 'Burbs'' (1989), ''When Harry Met Sally...'' (1989), ''Soapdish'' (1991), and ''The Women'' (2008). She was nominated twice for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her performances in the NBC sitcom ''30 Rock'' (2007) and the Channel 4 series ''Catastrophe'' (2017).Fisher wrote several semi-autobiographical novels, including ''Postcards from the Edge'' and an autobiographical one-woman play, and its non-fiction book, ''Wishful Drinking'', based on the play. She wrote the screenplay for the film version of ''Postcards from the Edge'' which garnered her a nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and her one-woman stage show of ''Wishful Drinking'' received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special. She worked on other writers' screenplays as a script doctor, including tightening the scripts for ''Hook'' (1991), ''Sister Act'' (1992), ''The Wedding Singer'' (1998), and many of the films from the ''Star Wars'' franchise, among others. An ''Entertainment Weekly'' article from May 1992 described Fisher as "one of the most sought-after doctors in town."
Fisher was the daughter of singer Eddie Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds. She and her mother appear together in ''Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds'', a documentary about their relationship. It premiered at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. She earned praise for speaking publicly about her experiences with bipolar disorder and drug addiction. Fisher died of a sudden cardiac arrest in December 2016, at age 60, four days after experiencing a medical emergency during a transatlantic flight from London to Los Angeles. She was posthumously made a Disney Legend in 2017, and was awarded a posthumous Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album the following year. In 2023, she posthumously received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Provided by Wikipedia
