Wow, this was cool since I was under the impression that she had dropped off the radar and was basically MIA (i.e., doesn't want to be pestered by Star Wars nerds). I had heard that she was in softcore pornography, which only added to her mystery ("softcore porn" I think carries more of a stigma today though, whereas acting in a soft porn/erotic films in the early and mid 70s was more respectable since there was a lot of mainstream crossover). It is very interesting to hear about the Fisher casting bluff, since I don't believe that anecdote has been told anywhere else. Her description of Lucas and Kurtz seems pretty consistent with other people, even if she says both Lucas Kurtz were Quakers (Lucas isn't but Kurtz is; the fact that she assumed they both were is a telling indication of why the two worked together frequently, as conservatism such as that is rare in Hollywood).

If you read her Wiki page she did drop off the radar but most likely because of health concerns, breast cancer, and all the press from dating a UK Royal probably made the public light annoying. Going by the age of her and Hagon (hairline/color), this interview might be closer to 10+ years. Could be a 30 years of SW, i've asked the site to post more info, when they update.

The movie which gave her the tag is Emily, haven't seen it but it sounds like top nudity which was in plenty of other 70s movies. But since it was a scene which had two women the lesbian stigma probably convinced everyone to call it pornography. 'Emily' was released in 1976, either the scene is not that big a deal, or Kurtz and Lucas were in different mind frame back then. With all the attention they pay to adult SW material nowadays it's interesting that the movie could have had a different star. but conservatism with drug and alcohol doesn't necessarily convert to conservatism with nudity.
