On May 4, also known as Star Wars Day, actress Carrie Fisher will be posthumously honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Fisher, who died from a heart attack in December 2016, played Princess Leia in the “Star Wars” franchise for almost 40 years.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will reveal Fisher’s star, the 2,754th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the Motion Pictures category, near the historic El Capitan Theatre, according to the Walk of Fame. Ana Martinez, a Hollywood Walk of Fame producer, said, “Fans will be over the moon to know that their favorite movie princess, Carrie Fisher, will be honored with her star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame! Carrie will join her ‘Star Wars’ co-stars and fellow Walk of Famers Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford on this historic sidewalk.”

Martinez continued, “I am happy to add that her star is just a few feet away from the star of Mark Hamill and across the street from the star of her legendary mother, Debbie Reynolds.” Fisher’s only daughter Billie Lourd, who has also appeared in the “Star Wars” franchise, will accept the star on her mother’s behalf. Hamill, who starred alongside Fisher as Luke Skywalker, celebrated the honor on Twitter, saying it was: “Long overdue & so well-deserved.”

Born to Eddie Fisher and Reynolds, Carried made her film debut in “Shampoo” before being cast in the “Star Wars” franchise. From 1977 to 1983, she played Princess Leia in the original “Star Wars” trilogy before reprising the role for the sequel trilogy in 2015 and 2017. She starred in other hit movies like “Hannah and Her Sisters,” “The Blues Brothers,” and “When Harry Met Sally.” She also made numerous television appearances, earning an Emmy nomination for “30 Rock.”

Fisher was also a bestselling novelist, having written “Postcards from the Edge,” “Delusions of Grandma,” “Surrender the Pink,” “The Best Awful,” “Wishful Drinking,” and “Shockaholic.” One day after Fisher died, her mother passed away from a stroke at the age of 84.
