Her “Star Wars” co-star Mark Hamill also wrote he has “no words” and was “devastated” after her death.
Fisher is best known as her role as Leia, but she’s penned several books and also starred in a number of other movies, including “When Harry Met Sally.”
“She has no friends, no family; her planet was blown up in seconds—along with her hairdresser—so all she has is a cause,” Fisher told Rolling Stone magazine about Leia in 1983 following “Return of the Jedi.”
She added: “From the first film [A New Hope], she was just a soldier, front line and center. The only way they knew to make the character strong was to make her angry. In Return of the Jedi, she gets to be more feminine, more supportive, more affectionate. But let’s not forget that these movies are basically boys’ fantasies. So the other way they made her more female in this one was to have her take off her clothes.”
