‘Star Wars’ princess Carrie Fisher dead at 60
By HILLEL ITALIE
AP National Writer
NEW YORK — No one
could make us laugh through
the pain like Carrie Fisher.
The daughter of Holly-
wood stars Eddie Fisher
and Debbie Reynolds, and
a survivor of early fame,
drug addiction and bipolar
disorder, she wrote with
unsentimental
wit
and
understanding about her
private struggles and about
an industry she was raised in
but stood apart from.
Fisher, known to the
world as Princess Leia of
“Star Wars,” died Tuesday
at 60, four days after falling
ill aboard an airline flight.
Media reports said the
actress had suffered a heart
attack.
“I do believe you’re only
as sick as your secrets. If
that’s true, I’m just really
healthy,” she said in a
confessional 2009 interview
with The Associated Press.
The public fell in love
with her twice: as Princess
Leia and as the wry truth-
teller of such books as
“Postcards From the Edge,”
“Wishful Drinking” and
“The Princess Diarist,” in
which she revealed having
an intense affair with “Star
Wars” co-star Harrison Ford.
Fisher told plenty of
secrets about others — about
her parents’ breakup when
she was 2, about being
advised by Warren Beatty on
wearing a bra in “Shampoo,”
and about arguing with
then-husband Paul Simon
about whether it was better
to be a man or a woman.
Asked by NPR recently
why she wrote about her
fling with Ford, who was 15
years older and married, she
joked that she could hold
back no longer because he
had refused to die: “I kept
calling and saying, ‘When
are you going to die because
I want to tell the story?”’
But she was toughest
on herself and unafraid to
turn trauma into humor. She
became the most knowable of
celebrities, with a great and
generous gift for bringing us
into her unusual life.
“One of the therapists
came in to admit me and
asked how long I had
been a drug addict,” she
wrote in “Postcards,” her
autobiographical novel that
became a movie of the same
name. “I said I didn’t think
I was a drug addict because
I didn’t take any one drug.
‘Then you’re a drugs addict,’
she said. She asked if I had
deliberately tried to kill
myself. I was insulted by the
question. I guess when you
find yourself having over-
dosed, it’s a good indicator
that your life isn’t working.”
She is survived by her
mother; her daughter, Billie
Lourd, from a relationship
with talent agent Bryan

Lourd; her brother, the
actor-filmmaker
Todd
Fisher; and her half-sisters,
actresses Joely and Tricia
Leigh Fisher. Her father died
in 2010.
Born and raised in
Beverly Hills, Carrie Fisher
was a bookish child who had
difficult relationships with
both parents. In a celebrity
breakup that made headlines
everywhere in 1958, Eddie
Fisher left his family for
Elizabeth Taylor.
Eddie Fisher was hardly
present for his daughter
in her early years, and
Reynolds’ second husband,
shoe store magnate Harry
Karl, was even worse. He
squandered his own money
and Reynolds’ on gambling
and prostitutes and left the
actress and her children
broke and devastated.
Carrie Fisher went into
the family business early —
too early, she would later
say. She was performing on
stage by age 12 and appeared
with Reynolds in the 1973
Broadway revival “Irene.”
She was still a teenager when
she made her feature film
debut in “Shampoo” in 1975.
Even after “Star Wars,”
Fisher would speak often of
feeling overshadowed by her
mother and about the need
to break away, a conflict
dramatized in “Postcards
From the Edge.”
Mother and daughter
were estranged for years but
reconciled later in life and
came to admire each other’s
talent and determination.
“Bright Lights: Starring
Debbie Reynolds and Carrie
Fisher,” an HBO documen-
tary, is scheduled for release
in 2017.
Fisher’s film credits
included a wide range
of spoofs, musicals and
romantic comedies, from
“Austin Powers” and “The
Blues Brothers” to “Hannah
and Her Sisters” and “When
Harry Met Sally ...” Meryl
Streep was the star when
“Postcards From the Edge,”
with a screenplay by Fisher,
was adapted into a film of the
same name in 1990. Shirley
MacLaine played Streep’s
mother, the stand-in for
Reynolds.
But for millions, Fisher
was Princess Leia, with her
now-iconic hair bagels and
metal bikini. She uttered the
immortal phrase “Help me

Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my
only hope” in the original
“Star Wars” in 1977.
Director George Lucas,
who considered Jodie Foster,
Amy Irving and dozens of
others for the role, said he
had been looking for an
actress who could “hold
her own” against her male
co-stars.
In her 2008 memoir
“Wishful Drinking,” she
recounted how Lucas told her
on the first day of shooting
that she couldn’t wear a bra
under her costume because
“there’s no underwear in
space.” Lucas, she said,
later explained that a woman
could be strangled by her
bra in the weightlessness of
space.
Fisher wisecracked in
her book that that would
make for a “fantastic obit,”
adding: “I tell my younger
friends that no matter how I
go, I want it reported that I
drowned in moonlight, stran-
gled by my own bra.”
