Remembering Carrie Fisher: Carrie Fisher, the iconic actress, writer, and comedian best known for her portrayal of Princess Leia in the Star Wars franchise, died several days after she had a heart attack on a flight from London to Los Angeles. She was 60. Fisher took on a number of notable roles throughout her career, including appearances in When Harry Met Sally… and The Blues Brothers, and reprised her famed role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars reboot The Force Awakens. Fisher will always be closely tied to the character she first took on at age 19, but, as David Sims , she will be remembered for so much more.
