* ButForMeItWasTuesday: She discussed this in her final title, the 2016 ''The Princess Diarist'', in relation to signing autographs and otherwise providing a celebrity encounter for fans at comic conventions, a practice she referred to as "lap dancing". For the fan, the experience is something they'll quite possibly remember for the rest of their life. For her, it was Tuesday, or another day on the job working to make some extra money to support herself.

Of course, she was Hollywood royalty well before ''Star Wars'' was made, being the daughter of the late singer Music/EddieFisher and the late actress Creator/DebbieReynolds, whose late '50s divorce was one of Hollywood's most infamous scandals of the time, as her father had an affair with Creator/ElizabethTaylor. Fisher herself was briefly married to Music/PaulSimon.

In her later career, she was primarily focused on her work as a writer, having penned such books as ''Postcards from the Edge'' (which was made into a 1990 film starring Creator/MerylStreep and Creator/ShirleyMacLaine), ''Delusions of Grandma,'' and ''Surrender the Pink.'' She also wrote and performed ''Wishful Drinking,'' a one-woman play about her life. Rounding it all off, Fisher was one of the most in-demand script doctors during the 1990s, being hired to punch up such films as ''Film/{{Hook}},'' ''Film/SisterAct,'' and all the ''Star Wars'' prequels.
