Carrie Fisher revealed what she wanted her obituary to say eight years before her death, in typical Carrie Fisher style.

The legendary โ€˜Star Warsโ€™ actress - who died on Tuesday (27 December) at the age of 60 - carved a second career for herself as an author after her time in the initial chapters of the sci-fi saga was done, and she revealed exactly what she wanted us all to say about her after she was gone in her 2008 memoir, โ€˜Wishful Drinkingโ€™.

She spoke about her one wish for her obituary in an excerpt detailing her time on the set of โ€˜Star Warsโ€™, recalling a moment she was told by George Lucas she couldnโ€™t wear a bra beneath her famous white outfit because, in his words, โ€œthereโ€™s no underwear in spaceโ€.

Carrie wrote: โ€œHereโ€™s why you cannot wear your brassiere, per George.

โ€œWhat happens is you go to space and you become weightless. So far so good, right? But then your body expands??? But your bra doesnโ€™tโ€”so you get strangled by your own bra.โ€

Incredible.

Following the success of โ€˜Wishful Drinkingโ€™, she penned a follow-up, โ€˜Shockaholicโ€™, in 2011. Her most recent memoir, โ€˜The Princess Diaristโ€™, was released last month.

In addition to her unique way with words, Carrie will be best remembered for her performance as Princess Leia - later General Leia - in the โ€˜Star Warsโ€™ saga.

It has now been confirmed by producers that Carrie โ€œabsolutely wrappedโ€ her part in the forthcoming eighth instalment prior to her death, which will now serve as her final film credit.
