On a related note;  For me, she was her prettiest in 1977.  Every time I see a picture of her from back then (in costume or behind the scenes), I'm shocked at just how beautiful she really was. Particularly with her hair down.  The gold bikini was nice alright, but it was just a ratings grab.  It distracted from how naturally pretty she really was.

It surprised the hell out of me, I'd never heard such tales...

She's clearly playing on the Big Bang fame.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Jeffrey Ross at a roast took a few shots at Fisher:

Ross: Carrie Fisher I feel the Force is very strong with you...  The force of gravity.

Carrie make yourself comfortable, chain yourself to Rosanne Barr's chair.

Rosanne Barr then chimes in: I don't get that.

Ross explains: It's a fucking Star Wars joke.

Why has nobody mentioned this yet? She wore this gold bikini way before ROTJ.

It's real. Carrie wore an exaggerated version of the buns for her SNL appearance.

carrie was lovely but she sure is short!  Harrison towers over her!!  anyway, hope she's doing alright now.  we all heard stories about robert downey Jrs problems but Carrie's life was really out of control for years.

It was an extra on "The War of The Stars". The actual episode is on the SNL season three DVD set, IIRC.

Carrie's one woman show "Wishful Drinking" is well worth checking out on DVD.

Leia fondling an Ewok will have to suffice, unfortunately.

I have that issue of Rolling Stone. Interesting that they didn't take all the characters out to a real beach for the shoot.

Ssh! You wanna get sued?

Even George can't get away with stealing that openly. Call the planet something like Aquilae Townoni Utapau Tatooine instead, it'll be fine that way.
