Carrie Fisher

Carrie Fisher is best recognized for her role as Princess Leia in the 1977 movie Star Wars, one of the most successful films at the box office. Fisher endeared herself to generations of adoring fans with her Danish pastry hairdo and white robe in the Star Wars sequels. However, the actress disclosed in 2014 that the part required her to lose weight.

Carrie joked that “they hired me minus 35 pounds” when she was asked to reprise her iconic role as Princess Leia in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Carrie was under pressure to lose 35 pounds for the role, but she did so correctly. However, Carrie is no stranger to weight loss, and those 35lbs were nothing compared to what she lost before. True enough, Carrie was able to amass fame and investments over the years, making her one of Hollywood’s legacies.
