Did Carrie Fisher do anything besides appearing in a major Nerd movie?

The Blues Brothers was a "nerd" movie?

She did a lot of coke

It seems nowadays that celebrities rarely die of natural causes. Carrie Fisher with coke, Prince with everything, Robin Williams - suicide, George Michel was addict it seems, and on and on. Can celebrities live clean lives?

Robin Williams killed himself because he had Lewy Body Dementia, Prince was addicted to opiates

Many of the more prominent early presidents - John Adams et al. - died of diarrhea.

She made some extra money on the side exploiting her "demons" by writing about them.

The ignorance is stunning. Carrie Fisher did a lot more in life than the jerkoffs on this board, that's for sure. What's your accomplishment? You're one of the fastest million people in the world? Woo hoo.

She was a child of famous people. It's pretty easy from there.

Disagree. It's usually a brutal burden. Try spending your whole life trying to achieve as much as your famous mother and/or father.

She had a short but memorable part in Shampoo, her first film. She also wrote Postcards from the Edge.

You don't have to achieve anything, that's the point.

She did a lot of "script doctoring," fixing screenplays that sucked too much. As an actress, her subplot with Bruno Kirby in "When Harry Met Sally" was far better than the main plot.

RIP

Fisher was in other movies and television, wrote several fictional and nonfiction books, several plays, also wrote the screenplay for the film Postcards from the Edge which was based on one of her books. She worked for two decades as a script editor, taking Hollywood movie scripts and improving their jokes and dialog: some of the scripts she worked on included The Wedding Singer, Sister Act, Lethal Weapon, and others.

So yeah, she basically was an actress, successful writer, producer, and pre-production maven. Pretty successful considering she also battled mental illness and addictions throughout her life and given her Star Wars earnings, she probably didn't have to work half as much as she did.

So does Donald 'sniffler' Trump.

If you truly believe that, you need to question everything that you 'believe'. He has never done a drug or drank alcohol. Do yourself a favor, and actually research people and things... it might make you somewhat smart, someday.

PS... Thanks for the legend, Carrie.
