Carrie Fisher's Net Worth At The Time Of Her Death May Surprise You

Although Carrie Fisher was to eventually appear in four more "Star Wars" films while alive, and once more through the magic of CGI after her death, she tried to get away from the role for decades, according to Biography. Through the 1980s and early 1990s, she appeared in a number of films, including "Hannah and Her Sisters," "The Burbs," "When Harry Met Sally...," and "Soapdish," (via IMDb), and it was during this time that Fisher also found a passion for writing, going on to pen several bestsellers.

Carrie Fisher's first book, "Postcards From the Edge," earned her a movie deal, and the semi-autobiographical novel was made into a film starring Shirley MacLaine and Meryl Streep. Several other books were to follow, including "Surrender The Pink," "Delusions of Grandma," "The Best Awful", "Wishful Drinking," and "Shockaholic" (via Publisher's Weekly). "Wishful Drinking" later became a one-woman play that Fisher both wrote and starred in, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Despite these successes,  no matter how hard she tried, Leia would always come back to haunt Fisher.
