WCCO-TV's Bill Carlson with Carrie Fisher, 1977

[@pjwarez]

Was too young to notice it back then.. but holy crap she was a beautiful woman.

[@arr0gant1]

We all noticed it back then, especially during Jedi

[@Toots22]

agree, back in the day , i thought she was even somewhat ordinary looking.......

[@elisaisnard]

She was just Perfect ...💔

[@athenstar10]

She was perfectly imperfect.

[@arconeagain]

Still frame, very attractive young lady. Once Carrie begins talking and interacting... beautiful, gorgeous, eloquent and mesmerising. Wow.

[@aztec999999]

What an absolutely beautiful angel. After work n life n all the crap, I forgot how beautiful she is and was. She made my childhood so exciting. Thank you Princess

[@HybreedTheory]

What a beauty.

[@m.e.d.7997]

Awesome smile on Carrie.

[@AdoreYouInAshXI]

Man, girls like her in Hollywood don't exist anymore. Her level of class is outstanding, a true lady.

[@scottdavidson7001]

Drugs killed her. The disease has no boundaries.

[@josueveguilla9069]

@@scottdavidson7001 R.I.P. Carrie Fisher😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

Well, sadly, she kind of wasn't as classy as you'd thought she'd be. She swore like a sailor and did a lot of drugs. She was mentally unstable and emotionally insecure. I don't say that to demean her. I still think she was a bright light but she wasnt what you thought she was but Im sure compared to this generation she did have more class!

[@faisalmemon285]

Girls of the 70’s are the best!

[@ppk2202]

Love her...her voice ... her smile ... her witt ... missed her so much ... STAR WARS my must precious picture of my adolescence ...

[@RLviddy]

Nice interview, and the interviewer is rather cool. He listens to her, and he introduces topics rather nicely. He's a bit formal, but enjoyable to listen to. Carrie's answers are very real and not at all hyperbolic, just appreciative of where she is. I suppose having grown up with parents in the business gave her perspective that other actors starting out may not have had.

[@tracyseymour7553]

Always in our hearts. A true princess. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

She was cutie and so petite! I wish I could have met her. She seemed soooooo cool :(

[@wednesday55]

This is wonderful. Thank you so much for uploading it.

[@ibewcountry]

Indeed . Thank you. What a charmer she was. Miss you Carrie.

[@bloodcountess81]

Her voice was so beautiful and classy.

[@Jabberstax]

She was so beautiful back then.

[@Xanadu424]

She is one of the eternally, infinitely great people this world has seen💛❤️

[@jaynebills7319]

Miss you C. Beautiful Lady. Star !🎬😄

[@lewis7515]

It's her intelligence - it's so significant and present, yet controlled and held back, out of politeness.

[@aznsensation44]

She has the voice and maturity of a person double her age here

[@happybergner9832]

She reminds me of young Judy Garland who just finished Wizard of Oz.

[@c25d]

She was so beautiful. Not a top model but that's what made her so cute

[@mjp96]

she was always so attractive to me.

[@Ma_Ba]

The television she refers to was probably Come Back Little Sheba with Laurence Olivier and Joanne Woodward. She would go on stage in Agnes of God though.She knew a lot about the history of the studios and contract players from her mother. She told the interviewer that the number of films went from 4 a week to 4 a year and that it was hit or miss. Funny to hear the price of admission was $4 in 1977. It would come to pass that Lucas Films and then Apple would pave the way for a lot of CGI blockbusters and a lot of ancillary marketing. (AFI interviews: George Lucas and Spielberg,)

[@missfit8650]

my goodness she's 19 talking about the economics of the entertainment industry...talk about smart

[@RMoocher]

No, she was 21 in 1977.

[@davea.218]

She possessed a captivating combination of being sophisticated and down-to-earth.

[@andrewbutler9533]

The world is a lesser place without her in it.

[@m.e.d.7997]

I think Carries daughter will have a bright future ahead of her.

[@FireMinstrel]

Sucks one of her films failed because of how Kevin Spacey's been blacklisted. That's some rotten luck on top of everything else that happened.

[@jenniferdaly6060]

So intelligent and spot on.

[@cstorvold]

I like how the interviewer was trying to encourage her even though she seemed a little depressed about the future of film.

[@jedijones]

Ironic since Star Wars did more to revitalize the film industry than any other movie in the last 50 years.

[@briancahill2136]

In this interview she says there are no stars anymore. Well guess wot we found a real one . Merry christmas Carrie may the road rise with you .

[@BuffaloBuffalo-uc6zp]

You wonder how it all when so wrong for someone like Carrie fisher that appeared on the surface so well adjusted and balanced and together and came across in some interviews especially the 1977 star wars interview with Harrison Ford in which she was interviewed in french, and came across as a very competent speaker within the french language.. You have to ask yourself at what stage did she start to develop an addiction to drugs, or was this simply a case of been involved in this hollywood circle of debauchery that somehow always ends in tragedy..

[@mrfake675]

Stress, lifestyle and a predisposition to mental illness

[@BuffaloBuffalo-uc6zp]

@@mrfake675 You hit the nail on the head there , but you also have to remember that this thing or entity called Hollywood is like an evil cult that rob's people of their humanity and soles in exchange for fame and money which is short lived and always come with a high price which out - weighs what you have let yourself become

[@jedijones]

It wasn't too long after this. In a Star Wars documentary, the producers said they had to take her aside and talk to her during Empire Strikes Back, because she was showing up on set wasted and giving slurred line readings.

[@faisalmemon285]

6:21 She doesn’t realize it but she’s at the revolution if cinematic history.

[@leftofcenter4]

As a 12 or 13 year old kid when I first saw SW Especially the ending awards scene…she was like the prettyish girl I had ever seen in my life at the time. And the harmonics in her smooth voice is hypnotic…My Goodness I hate that she had those additions that made her age early. So humble down to earth and cute as a pie, however Her mom Debbie has her beat when it comes to being cute…Debbie R. In 1954. …wow WHAT…..!, But Carrie has her own mega cool cute thing going on.. what a delightful blast from the past. SO GLAD I WAS A KID WHEN STARWARS came out…life is hard at times but escaping into the SW universe from time to time is golden. Why I love God/Jesus is because his plan for us is to have a young glorified body for eternity..can you imagine going to heaven and getting a big hug from a young Carrie Fisher… have a blessed day folks

[@andydixon2980]

Its strange that she 'seems' so balanced and together when she was young, compared to the older Carrie.

[@jedijones]

The ravages of drug addiction.

[@OneEpicEric]

Harrison Ford messed her around

[@69RocketBones]

I have adored Carrie for 40 years. I wish I wrote to her.

[@victorlopez-hz8xh]

Hermosa mujer...

[@gaynor1721]

Such a beautiful lady with doll-like features and perfect complexion. Shame she let herself go with drugs.

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

She really was a doll, wasn't she? And from what I understand she really let herself go bc of drugs and she was really in love with Mr. Ford and he broke her heart :(

[@athenstar10]

Fair play to Carrie, for someone who's been doing "things" behind the scenes, she looked pretty clean and healthy the whole 3 Episodes.

[@Kanezilla66]

Amazing woman

[@Red_Rebel]

Younge like 20 and very well sophisticated already

[@jedijones]

People have been saying TV was going to put movie theaters out of business for 50 years. But it still hasn't happened yet. Remember that next time you hear someone predicting streaming is going to kill movie theaters.

[@athenstar10]

She had such potential to actually to do more and excel in Hollywood.

[@interghost]

Beautiful... but I dont think Cinema is on the way out... I think Star Wars helped with that!

[@FireMinstrel]

Wait a second- they had HBO back then?? And film will never die- how else will we kill 90-120 minutes like that?

[@lamarravery4094]

I think HBO started in 1972.

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

Film last till like 2004-2006??? I just remember when Lord of the Rings came around it was shot on film and then after that film just kinda died.

[@jedijones]

@@THEDOORIZCLOSED Tarantino and Spielberg still shoot on film.

[@FireMinstrel]

When I saw the sequels and Rogue One(not seeing Solo), I paid $10. $4 in 1977 is equal to almost $17. You only pay that much if you're going to a XD 3D showing. At least it didn't get as bad as she had worried about.

[@RMoocher]

Such a shame she ruined that beautiful face and charming personality with drugs and alcohol. But mental illness played a part too.

[@jedijones]

Drug abuse makes it much harder to overcome a mental illness that might otherwise be a much more minor issue that's easier to deal with.

[@charlieburrows7490]

funny she figured it was a dying medium back in 1977.....get a load of it nowadays with streaming services murdering originality and cinema success. Most films are sequels or reboots now with a lot less originality. Or at least most original titles are stuck in small screen independents. $1 for a candy bar!? bargain.

[@jedijones]

The only reason they didn't do more sequels in the 1970s is because people didn't like them and didn't go to see them. The perception gradually changed with Godfather, Star Wars, Star Trek, Superman and Indiana Jones. By 1989, sequels had become some of the biggest and most reliable box office draws.

[@OneEpicEric]

Why did she end up on drugs? Did Harrison mess her around?

[@PinkPumpkin529]

Yes! But she didn't do drugs BECAUSE of Harrison, read my earlier comment. And altho he's my personal favorite actor, Harrison Ford is a CAD! He's no gentleman & you can't trust his word! How many times has he been married? How many women has he left behind in the dust after he's thru using them for his own selfish amusement & "ego boosts"? Ok, sorry to dog on him, just makes me sad, especially considering she was only 19!!! 😮 When I was 19 I was so green, I really had no idea how the world actually worked! Can't imagine being 19 today in this world, shocking!!! Carrie is very missed, by many for as many different reasons! RIP Miss Fisher, you will forever remain the People's Princess, Princess Leia, thru eternity! ❤❤❤ 😇😭
