[ad_1]

“I tell my younger friends that no matter how I go, I want it reported that I drowned in moonlight, strangled by my own bra.”

Carrie Fisher, who died Tuesday at the age of 60, wrote her own fantastic obituary eight years ago that was tied to her most famous role as Princess Leia in Star Wars.

In her 2008 memoir, Wishful Drinking — adapted from her one-woman stage show — Fisher described what she thought would be a “fantastic obituary” for herself.

In the memoir, she recalled an incident where Star Wars creator George Lucas told her she could not wear a bra under the white dress she wore as Princess Leia.

Fisher wrote that when she asked Lucas why, he replied, “Because… there's no underwear in space.”

She recalled then Lucas explained to her that “you go to space and you become weightless…But then your body expands??? But your bra doesn't — so you get strangled by your own bra.”

Fisher then wrote, “Now I think that this would make for a fantastic obit — so I tell my younger friends that no matter how I go, I want it reported that I drowned in moonlight, strangled by own bra.”
