To many, Carrie Fisher was forever the beautiful and strong-willed Princess Leia; by far one of the most beloved female characters in all of pop culture. However, over the later course of her life, we soon discovered that she was also one of the bluntest, unfiltered and utterly brilliant people to ever step in front of a camera.
While she had various demons, she was nonetheless a true character who never failed to entertain everyone with her dry with and brutal honesty about her own life, with these five particular moments standing out as the highlights!
#5: Appearance on Jonathan Ross
Along with British comedian Russell Howard, Carrie recreates the opening scene between Leia and Darth Vader. The only difference here being that Vader now speaks with a West Country accent.
#4: The Late Show Appearance
Stephen Colbert can barely contain himself as he and his favourite Princess muse on their previous encounters, along with her faithful dog Gary.
#3: Appearance on Ellen
Not only does she disclose some of the saucy action she and Harrison Ford got up to off-camera, but Carrie also offers some life advice for women along the way. In her own way of course.
#2: The Roast of George Lucas
While it was all in good fun, it should be known that when it comes to laying on the jabs Carrie Fisher is an absolute beast who will take no prisoners. George Lucas learned this the hard way.
#1: “Wishful Drinking†(2010)
This rather intimate look at Carrie Fisher’s life isn’t only poignant in how it highlights the various obstacles she’s encountered, but apologetically funny given her nonchalant approach to it all. Whether the memories are painful or not, the actress’ unreserved commentary on her tornado of a life will have you in stitches before you know it.
