FROM PLAYING ROB Delaney’s mother on Catastrophe to reprising her role as Princess Leia in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it’s safe to say that it’s been a banner year for Carrie Fisher.
And for the most part, her comeback has been warmly received.
I finally saw The Force Awakens tonight and I legit cried every minute Carrie Fisher was on screen.
Unfortunately, however, Fisher has also been the victim of body shaming and ageism with many expressing surprise that a 59-year-old woman no longer looks like she did in 1977.
*sigh*

This morning, Fisher urged fans to stop discussing how she looks.
“Please stop debating about whether or not I have aged well,” she wrote. “Unfortunately it hurts all 3 of my feelings.”
Please stop debating about whetherOR not👁aged well.unfortunately it hurts all3 of my feelings.My BODY hasnt aged as well as I have.Blow us👌🏼
She also retweeted this observation about how men – her co-star Harrison Ford, for instance — are “allowed to age” without their appearance being judged and analysed in the same way.
@IzzoKendall @carrieffisher Men don't age better than women, they're just allowed to age.
