CARRIE FISHER IN UK TV PRODUCTION OF FRANKENSTEIN-CIRCA 1984

Hi everybody,

I don't recall anybody mentioning this on the site previously, but just to let you know that UK STAR WARS fan Robin Haggett has put onto YOUTUBE his VHS copy of the 1984 UK YORKSHIRE TELEVISION production of FRANKENSTEIN, starring a post JEDI Carrie Fisher, and which also stars a very young Robert Powell, and, as the Creature, the always excellent David Warner.

The production is a little dated now and feels quite stagey (and is, in fact, based on one of the stage productions of the book), but I gather from FRANKENSTEIN purists that its a pretty good adaptation. Its fun to see Carrie in a role just after completing JEDI. And it may not be the WOOKIEE LIFE DAY song, but-be happy or scared by this!!- she does get to do a brief bit of musical warbling, and looks very cute.

The TV special is in eight parts. Here's the link to the first part and you can take it from there...

If you like the original SUPERMAN movie with Christopher Reeve, Robin's also put some nice behind the scenes DVD material in his playlist section also.

Hey, its the return of the faux-English accent from her scenes with Peter Cushing! :D Seriously, it's weird to hear it in a non-Star Wars context.

Cool find.
