From 'Hook', to 'Lethal Weapon 3', to even the Star Wars prequels, Carrie Fisher spent many years off-camera as one of Hollywood's most respected Script Doctors.
Terrible news to confirm today, as a beloved icon and Star Wars star’s condition has taken a turn for the worse. Carrie Fisher, actress behind both Princess and General Leia, has passed away at age 60. The revered actress and comedic presence had earlier suffered a heart attack en-route from London to Los Angeles.
When you’re out promoting a movie, you’re often asked to do a lot of things, most of them pretty silly. With the amount of press the cast of Star Wars: The Force Awakens was being asked to do, there were asked to do a lot of silly things, none perhaps as silly as going on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and singing a medley of Star Wars music a cappella. But the entire cast — including Harrison Ford! — actually commits, and it actually turns out to pretty fun.
An entire generation got "pants happy" when they first saw Princess Leia in a metal bikini. In an ironic twist, Carrie Fisher may have picked up some bad eating habits from Jabba the Hut. In steps Jenny Craig and maybe, just possibly, we'll get your Princess back.
