But Leia was the role Fisher would always be most known for.
But how did Fisher really feel about the film legacy that would follow her throughout her adult years?
“I would never have done it,” she said.
“All I did when I was really famous was wait for it to end.”
That request followed her around to the 21st century and playing Leia again, according toThe Washington Post.
This time, she was tasked with losing 35 pounds for the new series of sequels.
Fisher wasn’t surprised and deadpanned about it with her signature sense of humor toGood Housekeeping.
“Nothing changes,” she said of Hollywood.
“It’s an appearance-driven thing.
I’m in a business where the only thing that matters is weight and appearance.
That is so messed up.
They might as well say get younger, because that’s how easy it is.”
