Carrie Fisher

Besides acting and writing, Carrie Fisher works as a "script doctor" on the screenplays of other writers. Bonita Granville has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to Motion Pictures, at 6607 Hollywood Boulevard. In this, Taylor's character, an agent, explains to Reynolds' character, an actress, that she was in a blackout when she married the actress' husband, "Freddy.". Granville died of cancer in Santa Monica, California. In 2001, she co-wrote the TV comedy movie These Old Broads, which she was also co-executive producer of, starring her mother, Debbie Reynolds, as well as Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Collins and Shirley MacLaine. The couple remained married until Wrather's death in 1984. Her other novels include Surrender the Pink (1991), Delusions of Grandma (1993), Hollywood Moms (2001) and The Best Awful There Is (2004). She appeared in the film version of The Lone Ranger in 1956, and made her final screen appearance in a cameo role in The Legend of the Lone Ranger (1981).

She is the mother of Billie Catherine Lourd (born July 17, 1992), whose father is CAA principal and agent, Bryan Lourd. He bought the rights to both The Lone Ranger and Lassie characters and Granville worked as a producer for several film and television productions featuring these characters. Fisher was married to musician Paul Simon (1983-1984). Her career gradually began to fade by the mid 1940s, and in 1947 she married Jack Wrather who had produced some of her films. In 1990, Columbia Pictures released a movie version of Postcards From the Edge, which was adapted for the screen by Fisher and starred Meryl Streep, Shirley MacLaine and Dennis Quaid. She is also remembered for her starring role in the World War II anti-Nazism film Hitler's Children (1943). It became a sensational bestseller and she won the Los Angeles Pen Award for best first novel. As a young adult, she was once again cast in supporting roles, often in prestigious films such as Now, Voyager (1942) as well as two Andy Hardy films with Mickey Rooney.

Fisher's novel Postcards From the Edge, which was autobiographical in the sense that she fictionalized things obviously from her real-life, was published in 1987. The film was a success and Granville reprised her role in three further films. In a recent interview on public radio she expressed some regret that she was known overwhelmingly for her role as Princess Leia, and joked that she was afraid that if she became senile she may begin to slip back into character. In 1938 she played the girl-detective Nancy Drew for the first time. It was a huge success and made her famous in her own right. Despite this success, the next few years brought her few opportunities to build her career although she continued to work. In 1977, she played Princess Leia in Star Wars. As that child, Granville was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Her first movie appearance was in Shampoo (1975). Renamed These Three, it told the story of three adults (played by Miriam Hopkins, Merle Oberon, and Joel McCrea) who find their lives almost destroyed by the malicious lies of an attention seeking child. Carrie Fisher attended Beverly Hills High School and then Central School of Speech and Drama in London, England. Over the next couple of years she played uncredited supporting roles in such films as Little Women (1933) and Anne of Green Gables (1934) before playing the role of Mary in the film adapation of Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour. The following year, her mother married shoe store chain owner Harry Karl. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Granville was the daughter of stage actors, and made her film debut at the age of nine in Westward Passage (1933). When she was two years old, her parents divorced and her father married actress Elizabeth Taylor. Bonita Granville (February 2, 1923 – October 11, 1988) was an American film actress, and later in life a successful television producer.

Her half-sisters are actress Joely Fisher and actress Tricia Leigh Fisher, whose mother is actress Connie Stevens. Her younger brother is Todd Fisher. She was born Carrie Frances Fisher in Beverly Hills, California, the daughter of singer Eddie Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds. Carrie Fisher (born October 21, 1956) is an American actress and writer.
