The best of Carrie Fisher's Twitter
Carrie Fisher was an icon and an inspiration for her frank discussion of mental illness, her role as one of the strongest female heroes in film and her wide-ranging career as an actress and writer.
On Twitter, she was light-hearted and incisive in her commentary about herself, politics, her family and her dog.
Fisher died Tuesday at 60 years old. In memoriam, some of her best moments online:
1. Her thoughts on body image or her 'brain bag'

2. Her political commentary
Trump speaking his mind isn't refreshing, it's appalling. Coca Cola is refreshing...

4. Her openness about addiction
