Neither of them knew the other was involved in the project until shortly after filming had been completed. She did her very first European signing in London, England in a hotel libary on Saturday 3rd August 2003. It was an exclusive one-day signing, tickets limited to 500. She allegedly disliked the "bagel bun" hair style she wore in the original Star Wars (1977), but she didn't say anything about it because she was afraid that director George Lucas would get angry and fire her. When asked what her favorite moment from the Star Wars trilogy are, she replied that her favorite moments were the arguing scenes between her and Harrison Ford. Along with her writing career, she also became a successful re-writer of movie scripts, saving many troubled productions. Is a long-time friend of Miguel Ferrer. He helped her prepare for her Star Wars (1977) audition. Stood on a box for many of her scenes with Harrison Ford in the Star Wars trilogy, owing to the fact that she was roughly a foot shorter than him and didn't fit into the frame. Former stepdaughter of Connie Stevens. Diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and spoke on this topic at the American Psychiatric Association's Annual Meeting in May 2004 in NYC to thousands of psychiatrists. Was listed as a potential nominee on the 2006 Razzie Award nominating ballot. She was suggested in the Worst Supporting Actress category for her performance in the film Undiscovered (2005), however, she failed to receive a nomination. Weighed 7lbs 2ozs at birth Mother, Debbie Reynolds, lives with her. Was once engaged to Dan Aykroyd. Has one daughter, Billie, whose father is the powerful film agent Bryan Lourd. Fisher and Lourd never married. After he left her for a man, Fisher used that experience as the opening premise for her novel "The Best Awful.". Has written several novels including the semi-autobiographical "Postcards From The Edge", filmed in 1990. Sometimes works as a screenplay "script doctor".

I think you were so sexy in the metal bikini, and you forgot one movie in your filmography, "Blues Brothers". Hope you write back.
