In 1977, he entered in the history and mythology of the cinema, playing the character of Princess Leia in Star Wars: Carrie Fisher passed away at the age of 60, following a heart attack.
how Many millions of people know how to identify the character of Princess Leia? And, among these millions, how many will know to say the name of the actress that played in the saga of Star Wars? In the answers to these two questions will reside in the more simple epitaph Carrie Fisher: in the popular imagination, she reincarnated as a mythical character. However, the rawness of the story requires us to say that 27 of December 2016 is registered as the date of his death, in Los Angeles, four days after having suffered a cardiac arrest on a flight from London – turned 60 years old on the 21st of October.

As she once summed up: “I was Born in the middle of the big celebrities. Things could only go smaller.” Such as the Han Solo to Harrison Ford, or Luke Skywalker Mark Hamill, Princess Leia quickly gave entry in the pantheon of the sacred of the adventures intergalactic: Carrie Fisher would pick up the paper in the two following titles, The Empire Strikes back (1980), and The Return of the Jedi (1983), reappearing in the Awakening of The Force (2015).

It is true that all of this has become an easy target of the press scandal, but it is not less true that it was the very Carrie Fisher that he made a point of making public many of its problems, in particular assuming as a voice dedicated to promoting medical knowledge and familiarity of mental illness.
your taste for writing led her to publish several novels marked by components of their personal life, with highlight to Postcards from the Edge (1987), centred on a relationship of the untimely of mother and daughter, both actresses.
