As the daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, Carrie Fisher was perfectly positioned to leave a legacy in the Hollywood industry. In addition to her acting career, she was also a talented writer, penning works like “Hook” and “Wishful Drinking.”
She made an indelible impression as Princess Leia in the science fiction film “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” alongside Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill. Before being cast for the role, Fisher had to lose 10 pounds. She was also nominated four times for the Saturn Award for her role in Star Wars.
