Carrie Fisher
Carrie Fisher is a role model for many women around the world. She did something that had never been seen before in film history. She inverted the traditional “damsel in distress” cliché by playing Princess Leia in Star Wars. She did so by portraying a strong woman who not only aided her alleged knights but also managed to flee the Death Star. This part had dominated her acting career, and she reprised it for the Disney sequels. She died tragically not long ago, however, she was still included in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker after her death.
