Disney took out a 50 million dollar insurance policy with Lloyd's of London on Carrie Fisher for if she were unable to complete the three films. [x]  Now that Carrie has passed away, the insurance policy will be triggered, and Disney is set to make a lot of money through her passing.  

While Carrie Fisher will always be remember as Princess Leia, a legacy she herself appreciated. She also was, and perhaps more importantly, a best selling author seven times over, an author of scripts, and a coveted script doctor.  All can be found in more detail on her website. [x]  A website which also features mental health resources for those struggling [x], as Carrie was also an outspoken advocate for mental health.  Suffering from bipolar, and OCD [x].  She also struggled with addiction.  She talked openly about her struggles in her book and one woman show "Wishful Drinking" [x][x}  and in her book "Shockaholic."[x] And in turn, Carrie has become a sort of mental illness icon, (but as she said in "Wishful Drinking" about her mother being a gay icon, "You take your iconic status where you can get it.") 

So we can not forget that Carrie was more than the beloved character of Princess Leia we all know and love.  She was also an incredible kind human being, inspiring those struggling with mental illness in a world where the topic is all too often silenced. 

It seems a fitting tribute to Carrie if Disney were to donate the money from the triggered insurance policy to different mental health causes.

"We have been given a challenging illness, and there is no other option than to meet those challenges.  Think of it as an opportunity to be heroic – not “I survived living in Mosul during an attack” heroic, but an emotional survival.  An opportunity to be a good example to others who might share our disorder.  That’s why it’s important to find a community – however small – of other bipolar people to share experiences and find comfort in the similarities" -Carrie Fisher, November 30th 2016.
