The late Carrie Fisher, best known for her role as Princess Leia in the “Star Wars” franchise, has been posthumously awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Fisher’s daughter, Billie Lourd, who is also an actress, was in attendance for the ceremony.
Fisher passed away in 2016 at the age of 60, and the ceremony was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it was still an emotional and celebratory event, with speakers including Fisher’s longtime friend and collaborator, Mark Hamill, and director George Lucas.
The star is located in front of the TCL Chinese Theatre, where the original “Star Wars” film premiered in 1977. Fisher’s star is the 2,960th on the Walk of Fame.
Fisher was a trailblazer in Hollywood, not only for her iconic role as Princess Leia but also for her candid discussions about her struggles with addiction and mental health. She was a talented writer and actress, with roles in films such as “When Harry Met Sally” and “The Blues Brothers.” Fisher was also a beloved advocate for mental health awareness, and her legacy continues to inspire and resonate with fans around the world.
