Fisher's first novel, the semi-autobiographical Postcards from the Edge, was published just 10 years after Fisher first appeared in that iconic white robe with those unusual hair buns.
The protagonist, the fictional film actress Suzanne Vale, struggles to reassemble her life after a drug overdose. Fisher soon followed up with screenplay for a 1990 film version of Postcards, which starred Meryl Streep in Fisher's role.

Fisher's final book, the 2016 autobiography The Princess Diarist, supplied hilarious and juicy details of Fisher's time on the first Star Wars set.
She based the book on her recently discovered journals that she kept during the filming of the iconic 1977 movie, when Fisher was just 19 years old and deeply enamored with the 34-year-old (and married) Harrison Ford, aka Han Solo. The two had a brief on-set affair, Fisher claimed in her book.

Fisher's 2008 Wishful Drinking, her first memoir, was adapted from her one-woman stage show of the same name. It also became an HBO special in 2010.
In Wishful Drinking, Fisher offers another tragicomic account of what it was like to grow up as a product of "Hollywood in-breeding." Her parents were Hollywood legends Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher. She also chronicles her rocky relationships with the singer Paul Simon, her one-time fiancée Dan Ackroyd and the talent agent Bryan Lourd, with whom she had a daughter.

For Fisher's fans, the disheveled, struggling, hilarious and hopeful mess portrayed in her literary works also seemed to adequately capture the essence of 2016, a year that has featured bewildering political turbulence and the loss of too many entertainment icons.
