It should be an exciting time for 59-year-old actress Carrie Fisher. Nearly four decades after debuting as 20-year-old Princess Leia in "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope," she has reprised her role in the newly released "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," which has already earned more than $1 billion worldwide.

“I swear when I was shooting those films I never realized I was signing an invisible contract to stay looking the exact same way for the rest of my existence,” she said.
