Carrie Fisher was an American actress, novelist, and script doctor from Burbank, California. As an actress, she is primarily remembered for portraying the rebel leader Princess Leia Organa in the Star Wars original trilogy (1977-1983). The character's combination of defiance, assertiveness, and strength turned Leia into an iconic character of the science fiction and fantasy genres, and catapulted Fisher to international fame. She returned to the role of Leia in the Star Wars sequel trilogy (2015-2019), but died early in the trilogy's production. As a novelist, she is remembered for the autobiographical novels "Postcards from the Edge" (1987), "Surrender the Pink" (1990), "Delusions of Grandma" (1993), and "The Best Awful There Is" (2004). They were inspired by Fisher's real-life physical and mental problems, and her anxieties over her personal relationships. As an uncredited script doctor, Fisher contributed to the scripts of "Sister Act" (1992), "Last Action Hero" (1993), "Anastasia" (1997), and "The Wedding Singer" (1998).

In 1956, Fisher was born in Burbank, California. Her father was the popular singer Eddie Fisher (1928-2010), and her mother was the noted actress Debbie Reynolds (1932-2016). Fisher's paternal ancestry was Russian-Jewish, and her maternal ancestry was English and Scotch-Irish. Her parents divorced in 1960. Fisher was reportedly a "bookworm" during her childhood, and wrote poetry as a hobby.

Fisher had her Broadway debut as a singer in a 1973 revival of the musical "Irene" (1919) by James Montgomery. In the mid-1970s, Fisher received lessons from both the "Central School of Speech and Drama" in London and the "Sarah Lawrence College" in Yonkers, New York. She eventually dropped out from college. She made her film debut in the comedy film "Shampoo" (1975). She portrayed Lorna Karpf, an angry Beverly Hills teenager who decides to seduce her mother's lover. Lorna was thought to be one of the most memorable characters in a film with an older cast and a melancholic conclusion. "Star Wars" (1977) was the first time that Fisher was cast in a leading role.
