Star Wars" actress Carrie Fisher admitted Monday to taking cocaine on the set of "The Empire Strikes Back", saying she didn't even like the drug but was intent on getting high. The Princess Leia actress, now 53, said her life had been defined by addiction, with stints in psychiatric hospitals and rehab clinics -- even the emergency room with an overdose.

"We did cocaine on the set of 'Empire', in the ice planet,"...she said while visiting Sydney for her "Wishful Drinking" stand-up comedy show.
...
Fisher said she ultimately came to realise how dangerous her habits were.
"Slowly I realised I was doing a bit more drugs than other people and losing my choice in the matter,"
...
The former star said she did not blame her broken family or the pressures of celebrity for her addictions.
"It's always been my responsibility," she said. "If it was Hollywood (to blame), then we'd all be dope addicts."

This may explain why she is so very screwed up mentally today.

Wasn’t ‘Postcards From the Edge’ based on her life? This doesn’t surprise me at all. CF has always been hateful and bitter.
Not to mention her screwed-up appearance. She is my age (55) and looks like 110. I swear she is the only one of my generation to wear a full set of dentures. But that’s what heavy-duty drugs do, I guess.
“We did cocaine on the set of ‘Empire’, in the ice planet,”
I always heard there was a LOT of snow on the Ice Planet ...
For years she blamed it on drugs, then in middle-age she switched to bipolar illness. Nevertheless, she did managed to do a respectable, if not spectacular, amount of work over the years.
Her advantage in Star Wars is that she didn’t LOOK nineteen.
I’m really sick of her. One of the worst things about people who are in rehab or have done repeated stints in it is that they think we all want to hear about it, in her case, constantly. Enough!
Carrie authored that book; Meryl Streep played her in the film.
I am awaiting R2D2’s tell all that he wanted to snort up with her too if it were not for the lack of a nose.
“Why do they call it Hoth?” They should call it “Blowth”.
I expect to see this headline at Opinion Journal’s Best of the Web’s bottom stories of the day.
Exactly. We’ll probably be hearing from Harrison Ford later that he was secretly worshipping Satan while on the set of return of the Jedi.
Carrie is out of work so you will have to excuse her attention-whoring..
"The Blues Brothers" co-star John Belushi warned her that she had a problem prior to his own death from a drug overdose in 1982, and Fisher said she ultimately came to realise how dangerous her habits were.
It's pretty bad when John Belushi, of all people, is telling you that you have a drug problem.

Damn shame.......
A darn shame. Hard drugs and booze really take their toll after the years roll by.
