“George Lucas has crushed my life”: When Kerry Fisher gently paid for the Star Wars Dad’s head with a speech as funny as bitten

It is understandable to say that Princess Leah’s role in Star Wars was the happiness and misery of her interpreter, Kerry Fisher. The role that led the actor directly to the pop culture pantheon, but also overshadowed the rest of the career that was far from Demeritis and was relatively unknown by the general public.

Among the shade: a little aware that it was for example in the 90’s Doctors’ script The most demanding in Hollywood, which works both in the consistency of the sister, as well as the last action of the hero. Or even copy the role of Drew Barimor in the excellent comedy The Wedding Singer, where it should have been at the base, almost just arguing for Adam Sandler.

In 2005, the American Institute of Cinema (AFI) awarded A Reward of Achievement of Life George Lucas and the actor asked the introductory speech of this award ceremony to make a career in Saga’s stellar wars.

The actor is then distinguished by the same causture as biting, in the wake of humorous aid, or almost without any sincere tenderness, for those who remain a faithful friend to the end.

Here is the sequence below.

“George Luke has crushed my life”

“George Luke has crushed my life but in the possible gentle ways” He will release. “After its turning”Small A cult movie “ From Lucas, “People still ask me, I knew it would be such a great success. Yes, I knew it. We all knew it. The only one who didn’t know it was George.

It adds: “Like George, only a man could call us a completely new world that lives and inhabited by unusual characters, and I have Mark, Harrison and I have enough mail with fans and even a funny little band.

“I am loudly vegetable in this shameful celebrity closet”

In 2013, three years before his death, Carrie Fisher posted a moving letter on the site of bulleMmedia.com, which was full of irony and self-help, addressing the character who made it so known, but also greatly stopped the rest of his career.

“I spent almost two -thirds of my life going through the galaxies in these whores of white leather boots. I tried to answer your actions. Explaining the possible patterns of choice, one of which could not be made.” He wrote.

“But before we remember forever, walking with star -studded landscapes, we live in the imaginations and screens forever, loudly drinking in this shameful celebrity closet – getting fat, wrinkles, voting and eating with age.

Here we are in our own drawing on Dorian Gray. You: Sweet, you are sure of you and your boots, forever sentenced to the great and enviable prison of intergalactical adventures. Me: More and more struggles against post-galactic stress syndrome, wearing your scars, hair shredding is eternally black and funny. “
