Ruby Wax: Carrie Fisher's 'genius' was in comedy writing
Comedian Ruby Wax says Carrie Fisher should be remembered for her comedy writing as well as her acting skills.
The Star Wars actress died aged 60 after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Speaking to 5 live Daily's Adrian Chiles, Ruby Wax said "all this labelling doesn't matter... nobody could ever write like that as far as comedy. This girl was a genius - you know that's what she was - she wasn't such a great actress compared with what she could write like, and that was her gift... it was like a genius painter in front of you, but she was doing it with words."
