"The Princess Diarist" was just the latest memoir written by Fisher, the beloved actress who played Princess Leia in the George Lucas created "Star Wars" franchise. The book incorporated extracts from Fisher's diary kept during "Star Wars" filming.

"The Princess Diarist" was released on November 22, 2016, just five weeks before Fisher's sudden death by of cardiac arrest. Fisher promoted her memoir first in the United States, and then in Europe. She hosted a book signing event at Waterstones Piccadilly in London on December 11, 2016 (see accompanying documentation, press announcements, and pictures.) Fisher stopped breathing on her return flight from London to Los Angeles on December 23, 2016, and died in a Los Angeles hospital on December 27, 2016, a little over two weeks after her British book signing. The memoir topped the "New York Times" Non-Fiction Best Seller list in January 2017, and Fisher's audio recording of "The Princess Diarist" earned her a posthumous 2018 Grammy Award.
