Editor's Take:
Carrie Fisher became a film icon as Princess Leia and a brilliant writer about her own life. She was the daughter of the stars Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher. At 19 she was cast in Star Wars, and Leia's buns became instantly recognisable. Away from the screen, she battled addiction and bipolar disorder. Her semi-autobiographical novel Postcards from the Edge became a hit film. She was also a sought-after script doctor in Hollywood. Her frank humour about mental illness helped many fans. She died in December 2016, a day before her mother.
