Carrie Fisher's memory will not not only live on as the indomitable Princess Leia, an outspoken advocate for people with mental illness, and a woman with wicked sense of humor -- she also leaves behind a salty career on stage.
Never one to hide from her history or keep her past private, Fisher debuted a one-woman show in 2006 based on her memoir, both called Wishful Drinking.
On stage, she gave a frank, thoughtful and uproarious take on her unique life with all its peaks and valleys.

From the Star Wars juggernaut to mental health, she pulled back the curtain on a life lived in the shadow of a global phenomenon and showed the world, for the umpteenth time, that she was so much more than a princess.

1. Bipolar woman of the year
Fisher was very proud not only to be the face of a Pez dispenser, but she also joked about feeling blessed to feature in an abnormal psychology textbook.
2. No underwear in space
George Lucas apparently used some underhanded, and probably untrue, facts about outer space to ensure that Fisher went without a bra while filming.
3. On George Lucas owning her image
"If you haven't been merchandized for the last 30 years, you haven't lived."
4. She was also unintimidated by a life-size Leia sex doll

5. Invitation to a mental hospital
"It's a really, really exclusive invitation."
The woman may have started her career as a princess, but she lived her life like a queen. Hollywood -- and beyond -- will never be the same without her.
