Carrie Fisher’s interview on Good Morning America goes viral for best possible
Leia’s strength made her an enduring feminist icon, which Fisher, now 59, appreciates.
Carrie has previously confessed she has had sex with “Star Wars” “nerds” she has met over the years – making their fantasies come true.
But as for whether she can relate more to the character now?
Marvel Comics artist, J. Scott Campbell recently revealed on Facebook that Disney will discontinue production of action figures and other merchandise depicting Fisher’s Princess Leia wearing the bikini slave outfit from “Return of the Jedi”. And, apparently, this rule applies even if you are the iconic Princess Leia from Star Wars. “I got in character and I’ve never gotten out again – and really, I’ve tried everything”.
The father who flipped out about it, ‘What am I going to tell my kid about why shes in that outfit?’ Tell them that a giant slug captured me and forced me to wear that stupid outfit, and then I killed him because I didnt like it. And then I took it off. Backstage.
And, Fisher has lost about 35 pounds in deference to the demand for her role, but not without taking umbrage over this. “Trust me”, he went on”. “Nothing changes, it’s an appearance-driven thing”, the actress said in an interview with Good Housekeeping.
“We treat beauty like an accomplishment and that is insane”, she said.
Fisher – the troubled child of screen stars Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher who has written about her drug use, depression and electroshock treatments – was praised not many years ago for her unorthodox approach to a hard role: Jenny Craig spokesperson.
The GH January cover girl didn’t hold back when discussing her weight-loss methods, either.
