The Chinese Theater Hosts Pop-Up Exhibition of Carrie Fisher Memorabilia

On Wednesday, December 18, 2019, the TLC Chinese Theatre in Hollywood held a pop up exhibition of Carrie Fisher memorabilia in collaboration with her brother, Todd Fisher. Sideshow was surprised and humbled to learn that the Princess Leia Premium Format™ Figure was included in the exhibition alongside Carrie’s precious keepsakes.

“We’ve done displays over the years in the old theater, the original Chinese,” Todd Fisher explained. “Most of this stuff we’re showing at the Chinese 6 has never been seen by anybody, it’s been held by either my mother or my sister or myself.”

Included in the display was Carrie’s iconic white Princess Leia gown, a number of scripts and production materials from her film career, and even more memorabilia that showed her own personal interests and accolades.

“We were thrilled to hear about the exhibition at the TCL Chinese Theatre, and are deeply touched that Todd chose one of our statues to feature in his display.

The impact and enduring legacy of Leia, Princess of Alderaan, and General of the Resistance cannot be easily put into words. For many of us, she has become a symbol of passion, defiance, and hope. She is a beacon of courage, optimism, and determination throughout the galaxy and our world.

As Star Wars fans, it’s amazing to see such personal and precious mementos on display. Carrie’s character, charisma, wit, and charm, as well as her outspoken and uncompromising honesty were at the very soul of Leia. These rare and candid moments from her family’s personal archives bring us a little closer to this amazing woman and to the inspiring character she brought to life.

Our Princess Leia Premium Format™ Figure was truly a labor of love for everyone here at Sideshow, and it is an honor to see our statue displayed at the TCL Chinese Theatre as a very small part of this unique and touching exhibition.” – Andy Smith, PR Manager, Sideshow

“I miss her deeply,” Fisher said of his sister. “But at the same time, it’s kind of a beautiful thing.”

Sideshow is thankful to have been included in this touching tribute surrounding Carrie Fisher and her iconic role as Princess and General Leia Organa. She will forever be in our hearts, inspiring us with the art she shared with audiences and fans everywhere.
