When she wasn’t playing Princess Leia, Carrie Fisher was building a reputation asย one of the wittiest actors in Hollywood. For proof, look no further than her hilarious roast of George Lucas at the “Star Wars” creator’s AFI Lifetime Achievement Award gala in 2005.
In just four minutes, Fisher tore into Lucas over all the merchandise, stalkers and torment inflicted upon her as a result of her role asย the bunheaded Princess of Alderaan. “George is a sadist,” she quipped. “But like any abused child wearing a metal bikini chained to a giant slug about to die, I keep coming back for more.”
