STAR WARS Actress Carrie Fisher Talks ‘Stupid’ Princess Leia Ban

Carrie Fisher told the Wall Street Journal that she thinks “it’s stupid”.

“She said at the dinner it’s really hard to date people because she doesn’t want to give people the satisfaction of “I was with Princess Leia”.

Fisher also brought her French bulldog, Gary, who obediently sat beside the actress in his own director’s chair during the interview.
