One-time movie icon Carrie Fisher

Carrie Fisher, daughter of celebrity couple Eddie Fisher the singer and Debbie Reynolds the actress, began her movie career in Shampoo (1975)but became a true movie icon in the Star Wars film series--in the starring role of Princess Leia.

Since that time, her best movie roles have been a small part in The Blues Brothers (1980) and as a member of the primary supporting cast of When Harry Met Sally (1989).

Fisher also got plaudits for her novel Postcards from the Edge, in 1987.

She has combined her movie and writing know-how to become a Hollywood specialist in improving screenplays.

Fisher had a brief marriage in the early 1980s to singer Paul Simon and was once engaged to comedian Dan Aykroyd.
