Carrie Fisher Channels Princess Leia
Not many actors or actresses get the chance to play an iconic role quite like Princess Leia. Carrie Fisher starred in the role over the course of her lifetime- from 1977 to 2017. Though Fisher had an untimely death at just the age of 60, her role lives on in Star Wars fans everywhere.
Fisher once noted that there were many similarities between herself and the iconic role she portrayed. For example, in the Star Wars series, Princess Leia’s mother married the rich King Organa when her father was lured to the Dark Side. In Fisher’s real life, her father Eddie Fisher was whisked away by Liz Taylor- which left Debbie Reynolds heartbroken.
