Carrie Fisher's Life in Pictures and Memorable Quotes | 9DW0Y37 | 2024-05-05 03:08:01
Carrie Fisher left behind a legacy that friends and fans will never forget following her December 2016 death at the age of 60.
The actress was best known for her role as Princess Leia in Star Wars, which daughter Billie Lourd (whom Fisher shared with ex-husband Bryan Lourd) has consistently been in awe of through the years.
"I wanted to hate [Star Wars] so I could tell her how lame she was," Billie said during her mother's posthumous Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in May 2023. "Like any kid, I didn't want my mom to be hot or cool — she was my mom. But that day, staring at the screen, I realized no one is, or will ever be, as hot or as cool as Princess Leia."
She continued, "People of all ages from all over the world were dressed up like my mom, the lady who sang me to sleep at night and held me when I was scared. Watching the amount of joy it brought to people when she hugged them … was incredible to witness."
Billie later joined the Star Wars universe herself, costarring with her mom in 2015's The Force Awakens and 2017's The Last Jedi both filmed before Fisher's death.
