Fact 2 - Top Shocking Facts About Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia)
The Facts that shocked me Even! And yes if you didn't know, Carrie Fisher portrays Princess Leia!

Fact One: Carrie had a love-hate relationship with Director George Lucas
In her bestselling memoir and one-woman show, Wishful Drinking, Carrie Fisher tells her readers, "George Lucas ruined my life."

Fact Two: Carrie hated the costumes she had to wear! ( I knew this fact a little, but not all the costumes! )
She hated the white dress from A New Hope, but it was the famed metal bikini in Return of the Jedi, which she despised most of all. When I laid down, the metal bikini stayed up," she once said. "So Boba Fett could see all the way to Florida."

Fact Three: She has drugs named after her! ( like WATTT?!!? )
Fisher discovered there is a marijuana called Princess Leia after her daughter's boyfriend tried to get a discount.

Fact Four: She beat some big names to land the role of Princess Leia
More than two dozen actresses auditioned for the role. These included Sissy Spacek, Farrah Fawcett, Glenn Close, Jessica Lange, Meryl Streep, Sigourney Weaver, Cybill Shepherd, Jane Seymour, Anjelica Huston, Kim Basinger, Kathleen Turner and Geena Davis. (HOW WEIRD WOULD THAT BE IF ONE OF THESE ACTRESSES GOT THE PART INSTEAD OF CARRIE?!)

Fact Five: She was forced to strap down her breasts! (Poor Carrie!)
Her breasts were taped down with gaffer tape, as her costume did not permit any lingerie to be worn underneath. She joked later, "As we all know, there is no underwear in space."

Fact Six: She didn't like her bagel bun hair style!! (I think all of us can agree with Carrie! But wait...It's not that bad! It could be worse! Like seriously!)
She disliked the "bagel bun" hair style she wore in the original Star Wars, but she didn't say anything about it because she was afraid that director George Lucas would get angry and fire her.

Fact Seven: She clashed with her mother about the role
Due to the limited budget the American cast members and crew flew economy class to England, rather than first class. When Carrie Fisher's mother, film star Debbie Reynolds, heard about this she called George Lucas to complain. Lucas handed the phone to Carrie who simply said, "Mother, I want to fly coach, will you fuck off?!" and hung up! ( Wow Carrie! )

Fact Eight: She thinks she did a bad job playing Leia (Don't be so hard on you self Carrie!)
She doesn't thinks she's a very good actress and often quotes her awkward half British, half American accent as an example.

Fact Nine: She did some of her own stunts (Carrie Fisher is awesome isn't she?!)
Stunt doubles were not used for the scene in which Luke and Leia swing to safety. She and Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) performed that stunt themselves, shooting it in just one take.
(Now that is amazing!)

Fact Ten: She loves nerds
She once sarcastically claimed to have got the role of Princess Leia by sleeping "with some nerd."

Fact Eleven: She found her dialogue a real challenge!
After one especially difficult scene she said to Lucas "You can type this stuff, but you can't say it".
