Carrie Fisher
![Fisher at the [[70th Venice International Film Festival]] in 2013](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/03/Carrie_Fisher_2013-a_straightened.jpg)
Fisher wrote several semi-autobiographical novels, including ''Postcards from the Edge'' and an autobiographical one-woman play, and its non-fiction book, ''Wishful Drinking'', based on the play. She wrote the screenplay for the film version of ''Postcards from the Edge'' which garnered her a nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and her one-woman stage show of ''Wishful Drinking'' received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special. She worked on other writers' screenplays as a script doctor, including tightening the scripts for ''Hook'' (1991), ''Sister Act'' (1992), ''The Wedding Singer'' (1998), and many of the films from the ''Star Wars'' franchise, among others. An ''Entertainment Weekly'' article from May 1992 described Fisher as "one of the most sought-after doctors in town."
Fisher was the daughter of singer Eddie Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds. She and her mother appear together in ''Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds'', a documentary about their relationship. It premiered at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. She earned praise for speaking publicly about her experiences with bipolar disorder and drug addiction. Fisher died of a sudden cardiac arrest in December 2016, at age 60, four days after experiencing a medical emergency during a transatlantic flight from London to Los Angeles. She was posthumously made a Disney Legend in 2017, and was awarded a posthumous Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album the following year. In 2023, she posthumously received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Provided by Wikipedia
