This week has been absolutely devastating after not only the death of Carrie Fisher but that of her mother, Debbie Reynolds, as well.
We all know that Fisher started working her way into people’s hearts with her amazing performance as Princess Leia in “Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope” and subsequent films in the franchise, but did you know that she was also a very talented writer? Besides writing multiple novels and memoirs in her lifetime, she was one of Hollywood’s best script doctors in the 1990s and 2000s.
She even rewrote her own dialogue in a lot of the Star Wars movies she starred in and helped a number of popular films become the hits they are today. Here are 10 Hollywood blockbusters that Fisher successfully revamped after fixing their screenplays.
1. After Fisher wrote the 1987 novel “Postcards From The Edge” and adapted it into a movie, she was asked to rewrite comedic dialogue for Tinkerbell, played by Julia Roberts, in the 1991 film “Hook.” She even made a cameo with George Lucas in the movie.
