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."

I met Carolyn G. Hart, the mystery writer, in Atlanta airport. She was really nice and said that Tom, the baby at the time, made her homesick for her grandchildren.

Well, time marches on — Old Ben is round about that age and he certainly is not pin-up calendar material.

My nephew and a couple of his friends saw Harrison Ford in a restaurant a few years back. They waited until he finished his meal then went over to his table.
They said he couldn't have been nicer. He shook their hands, asked what they were studying in college etc.

Actually, the best part of any documentary on Star Wars is the interviews with Fisher, because she is quite witty and has a dry sense of humor.

Thirty years ago would be about the time she was doing more recreational drugs than some third world countries, so that’s probably the source of her behavior.

In her defense, Mark Hamill has also aged badly and he never had a drug problem. Some people just have bad genetics that way.

I still love that film, especially the scene at the apartment where there was much discussion about the wagon wheel coffee table. Makes me laugh every time.

I went to GU when I was 30yo. I was the oldest in my class. I spent my early years working for my dad and traveling.

Allow me to neutralize that story with this one: sat in front of Jeff Goldblum in First Class on a Continental Newark to LA flight 3 years ago. He could not have been more pleasant...wonderful guy.
It was a bit strange though that the flight attendants (all female) were all over him and actually making out with him in the forward galley.
