Carrie Fisher

Carrie Fisher matters to me far beyond Princess Leia. Yes, she gave Star Wars its spine, but her second act as a novelist and screenwriter — the sharp, self-lacerating wit, the refusal to pretend Hollywood or her own struggles were tidy — is what I find genuinely heroic. Born into Beverly Hills royalty, she spent her life puncturing exactly that kind of myth, including her own. Her death in 2016 hit hard, and the Disney Legends honor in 2017 felt almost too small for someone who redefined what a franchise icon could say out loud. She made honesty glamorous, which is rarer than any crown of braids.
