MAYBE SOME RAIN AND SNOW IN THE
FORECAST.
I WILL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A FEW
MINUTES.
MIKE: THE ACTRESS A GENERATION
CAME TO KNOW AS PRINCESS LEIA,
CARRIE FISHER, HAS DIED AT THE
AGE OF 60.
FISHER HAD BEEN HOSPITALIZED
AFTER SUFFERING A HEART ATTACK,
WHILE FLYING FROM LONDON TO LOS
ANGELES LAST FRIDAY.
NBC'S KURT GREGORY HAS A LOOK AT
THE LEGACY SHE LEAVES BEHIND.
KURT: CARRIE FISHER WAS BORN IN
1956 INTO ENTERTAINMENT ROYALTY,
THE DAUGHTER OF THE POP SINGER
EDDIE FISHER AND ACTRESS DEBBIE
REYNOLDS.
AT THE AGE OF FIFTEEN, APPEARING
AS A SINGER IN BROADWAY'S
"IRENE" ALONG SIDE HER MOTHER.
HER FILM DEBUT WAS IN 1975 I
THE COMEDY "SHAMPOO," BUT JUST
YEARS LATER, FISHER BLASTED OFF
TO STARDOM IN "STAR WARS."
SHE WOULD RETURN AS PRINCESS
LEIA ORGANA IN THE MOVIE
TRILOGY, IN "EMPIRE STRIKES
BACK," AND "THE RETURN OF THE
JEDI."
SHARING HER TIME ON MOVIE SETS
AND ON BROADWAY, BUT BEHIND THE
CURTAIN, FISHER BATTLED YEARS OF
DRUG DEPENDENCY AND SCANDAL.
IN 1983, SHE MARRIED SINGER PAUL
SIMON, BUT THE MARRIAGE ENDED
JUST 8 MONTHS LATER
-- EIGHT MONTHS LATER.
FISHER TURNED TO WRITING,
-PUBLISHING HER FIRST NOVEL IN
1987, "POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE."
IN ALL, WRITING SEVEN BOOKS,
WORKING ON DOZENS OF PLAYS FOR
SCREEN AND STAGE IN BETWEEN
ROLES ON THE BIG AND SMALL
SCREEN.
SHE WROTE AND STARRED IN
"WISHFUL DRINKING" ON BROADWAY.
>> I AM A PEZ DISPENSER, AND I'M
IN THE ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY
TEXTBOOK
WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL?
KURT: THE ONE WOMAN SHOW
EXAMINED HER LIFE AS A CHILD IN
HOLLYWOOD, GROWING UP IN THE
GLARE OF THE SPOTLIGHT, BATTLING
ADDICTION, AND HER FIGHT AGAINST
BIPOLAR DISORDER.
THE BOOK ADAPTATION WOULD GO O
TO BECOME A NEW YORK TIMES BEST
SELLER.
IN THE PAST 2 YEARS, FISHER CAME
BACK TO THE STORY THAT MADE HER
FAMOUS, REPRISING HER ROLE OF
PRINCESS LEIA IN BOTH "STAR WARS
7 THE FORCE AWAKENS" AND EPISODE
8, SET TO BE RELEASED IN 2017,
AND FINDING A NEW GENERATION OF
FANS.
