Carrie Fisher was an icon in Hollywood — and in science-fiction movies, in particular, as she starred as Princess Leia in the "Star Wars" franchise. So, it makes sense that she would appear as herself on "The Big Bang Theory," bringing some pretty cool star power to the show.
Fisher appeared in a Season 7 episode in which Sheldon hangs out with James Earl Jones. At one point, the two appear on her doorstep to ding-dong ditch her. Fisher then runs out of her house with a baseball bat ready to fight and yells out, "It's not funny anymore, James," making it clear that Jones regularly pranked her. It was a cool moment to see Fisher be silly on screen and to watch Sheldon prank her with another "Star Wars" icon, too.
Sadly, Fisher died after going into cardiac arrest when she was 60 on December 27, 2016. According to the Los Angeles Times, Fisher's autopsy revealed that she had "cocaine, methadone, MDMA (better known as ecstasy), alcohol and opiates" in her system at the time of her death. Fisher's passing was tragic in so many ways, but at least fans got to see her funny side on "The Big Bang Theory."
