Carrie:
I have been an fan since your (much too small)role in Shampoo (you are just a bit older than I). I took my 26 year-old daughter to see Wushful Drinking last month--she did not know who you were, had never seen any of Star Wars and cringes everytime I suggest watching Singing in the Rain. Even so, she laughed so hard she almost- well, all the women listeners know what I mean! Your line about the poisonous nature of resentment should be shouted from the rooftops!
I read Carrie's book and loved it! I am definitely going to get tickets for the show!
When you google Ms. Fisher, her own website appears before her imdb page, which is unusual. Does she do anything to promote the site or is it just a fluke?
Also, she sounds like she's having fun in life, she laughs easily. To what does she attribute that?
Speaking of money, is Ms. Fisher financially secure? Would she have done anything differently with her money over the years?
Enjoying this interview. She's a handful!
She is a great writer and funny as hell. You gotta get her back again!
I think every male of my generation had their first sexual awakening seeing Princess Leia in a bikini while chained to Jabba the Hutt!
