The Legend That Is Carrie Fisher

Carrie Fisher, the legend, the siren and the focus of this iconic image:

Princess Leia was a sexual awakening for almost an entire generation. And guess what, she’s defying age. Here’s our rundown of her best points:

1. She called twitter trolls out on her weight gain over the years with this brilliant tweet:

2. Fisher suffers from Bi-polar Disorder and talks about it openly to raise awareness and try to remove the stigma attached to it. Can we make her a God or something?

3. She was one of the first women to play a strong female character in a popular sci-fi franchise. As Princess Leia she lead armies, stood up to Darth Vader when all the men around her just pandered to him AND she saved her man from danger, not the other way around.

4. She overcame addiction. Fisher abused drugs and alcohol for years after suffering under the pressure of losing weight for her role as Princess Leia, but she overcame her addictions. What’s even better is the fact that she doesn’t shy away from her past either. She talks openly about it and doesn’t try to act like the ‘perfect lady’ Hollywood wanted her to be.

5. She brings her dog Gary to pretty much everthing; Talk shows, movie premieres, planes, you name it. Wherever Carrie goes, Gary goes. And as fellow animal lovers, we are totally onboard with this. Also, look at how cute Gary is, just look at him:

6. Her social media is literally the greatest thing ever. From absolute gibberish to fighting back against online hate. Almost everything she posts is gold. Oh Carrie, please never ever change.

    Poor dog. His/her tongue will dry up :'(

      We sometimes worry about that too. Sadly, Gary suffers from hanging tongue syndrome which luckily isn’t life threatening and not too uncommon. We are sure Carrie makes sure Gary is comfortable, she seems to love him a lot, so much so she even brings him to chat shows and film premieres with her as her date. Yet another reason why we love her!
