I was to encounter the amazing and unpredictable Carrie many times over the years.

I don’t think he knew how to be nice to women in any other way. He was a very sweet man who was very damaged. Later, after she had forgiven him for a lot of sleazy behaviour, Carrie said of her father: ‘I don’t think he really knew any better. On her wedding day to Paul Simon in 1983, he complimented her on her behind. Her own father, Eddie Fisher – who died in 2010 – made crudely suggestive comments about her bust when she was only 13. This was far from being the first time she had been treated as a sex object. Did he want them filmed with a bra or without? Beatty spent some minutes studying the actress’s contours and then decided she should leave the bra off. The director asked Beatty, Hollywood’s number one sexual athlete, to study Fisher’s breasts. Two years before Star Wars put her on the world map in 1977, Carrie had made her screen debut in the sex comedy Shampoo, starring Warren Beatty. He looked like he could lead the charge into battle, take the hill, win the duel, be leader of the gluten-free world, all without breaking a sweat. But they tumbled into bed together, and 40 years later, she still rhapsodised about the experience. She was 19, he was 33 and married with two children. There was also, as she sensationally revealed in her book The Princess Diarist – which she was promoting at the time of her death – an intense love affair with her Star Wars leading man Harrison Ford. Bryan Lourd, with whom she had a daughter, left her for another man. A disastrous marriage to the singer-songwriter Paul Simon ended with them throwing things at each other. In the turbulent and explosive years that followed, Carrie was to survive alcoholism, addiction to cocaine, LSD and prescription drugs, bipolar disorder, a fiercely fluctuating relationship with both parents and relationship breakdowns. She later said of its impact: ‘When my father left, my heart was broken and that has forever stuck.’ Dad was crooner Eddie Fisher, while mum was Singin’ in the Rain actress Debbie Reynolds and together they were America’s sweethearts.īut when her father decamped for the recently widowed Elizabeth Taylor, abandoning his daughter as a small child, the effect on Carrie was to last a lifetime. Like Leia, Carrie was born into royalty – in this case the Hollywood kind. But while the movies ended happily with the defeat of an evil galactic Empire, things were not so rosy away from the cameras. The actress and writer ascended to worldwide fame and stardom in the role of rebel warrior Princess Leia in Star Wars. I love you.’Ĭarrie Fisher was the quintessential prototype of the spaced-out, hungover Hollywood princess. The Twitter account for Miss Fisher’s dog read: ‘Saddest tweets to tweet. She was a force of nature, of loyalty and of friendship.’ I am grateful for your thoughts and prayers that are now guiding her to her next stop.’ Director Steven Spielberg said: ‘She didn’t need The Force. On Facebook, Miss Fisher’s mother, the veteran Hollywood actress Debbie Reynolds, wrote: ‘Thank you to everyone who has embraced the gifts and talents of my beloved and amazing daughter. In Star Wars, she was our great and powerful princess – feisty, wise and full of hope in a role that was more difficult than most people might think. George Lucas, who created Star Wars and directed four of the films, said: ‘She was extremely smart a talented actress, writer, and comedienne with a very colourful personality that everyone loved.

Co-star Harrison Ford added: ‘Carrie was one of a kind. Mark Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker in the films, wrote on Twitter: ‘No words #devastated’. Her death sparked an outpouring of grief from Hollywood and fans of the long-running space saga in which she made her name as Princess Leia. She reportedly never regained consciousness and died in California shortly before 9am local time yesterday. The star had been in hospital on a ventilator – with her beloved French bulldog Gary by her side - since falling ill aboard a flight from London to Los Angeles on Friday. Relatives of the Star Wars actress last night said she was ‘loved by the world’ and would be ‘missed profoundly’.

Carrie Fisher has died aged 60 – four days after she suffered a heart attack on a flight to the US.
