On Thursday, May 4th, the late Carrie Fisher was honored with a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The ceremony, which took place on the unofficial “Star Wars” holiday, was attended by Fisher’s co-star Mark Hamill and her daughter Billie Lourd.
Lourd, wearing a dress printed with her mother’s portrait, accepted the star on behalf of Fisher. In her speech, Lourd said, “My mom is a double-whammy — a Pez dispenser and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame now. I say you aren’t actually famous until you get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”
Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the “Star Wars” franchise, spoke fondly of Fisher. He said, “I remember thinking, ‘She’s 19 years old, she’s barely out of high school, and she’s already the wittiest person in the room.’”
The ceremony concluded with Lourd throwing glitter, her mother’s favorite, on the newly unveiled star. Fisher, who passed away in 2016 at the age of 60, is remembered for her role as Princess Leia in the “Star Wars” franchise. Her star is located at 6270 Hollywood Boulevard.
