Carrie’s death was announced yesterday, four days after she suffered a heart attack on a plane travelling from London to LA. Her co-stars from ‘Star Wars’, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill, have led tributes to her from across the entertainment world, where she was celebrated for her wit, her advocacy of mental health issues and her openness about her own problems, as well as for her bestselling books, and of course her role in one of the biggest sci-fi blockbuster series of all time.
Carrie was the daughter of Debbie and star crooner Eddie Fisher, who notoriously abandoned his family when Carrie was two years old, when he fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor.
