Carrie Fisher's 5 Best Scene-Stealing Moments

She's not just everyone's favourite princess: Carrie Fisher has had plenty of other scene-stealing roles too.

Everybody knows Carrie Fisher. After exploding onto our screens as Princess Leia, she has slowly but surely become an institution, popping up in various mainstream shows and films taking on every role with panache. She may always be known best for the original Star Wars franchise, but that hasn't stopped her from delighting us in the most unexpected places. Fisher obviously has a brilliant sense of humour and brings that to many of her roles, as well as being involved in several self-referential projects such as Fanboys (a film about stealing the new Star Wars film) and Scream 3 (where she plays an actress often mistaken for Carrie Fisher) - but more on these later. Aside from indulging the Star Wars fan in us all (or most of us, at least), Fisher also regularly proves her worth as a dependable actress who's here to stay. She flits between TV and film with ease, both character acting and playing a parody of herself, such as her excellent appearance in Sex in the City. There is a huge base of work that this list has pulled from, so if there are any films (or TV shows) in which you think Fisher stole the show that I missed please make it known in the comments!

Fan of Taylor Swift and the Dead Kennedys (a duet I can only dream of). I like dystopias, slasher films, and video games that make me feel things.
