Fisher Would Turn Down Star Wars
Carrie Fisher, better known as Princess Leia by the Star Wars faithful, says she would have turned down the coveted role had she known the film was poised to be a boffo success. On the Today show, Fisher relayed stories of suffering from Bipolar disorder, finding relief in electroshock therapy, and that when she got tangled up in LSD, Cary Grant was called in as her drug counselor. She says the fame that came with the Star Wars part was unbearable, and she just waited for it to end.
