SYDNEY (AFP) – – “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,” Fisher told Australian newswire AAP, referring to the setting of the second film in the original “Star Wars” trilogy.
“I didn’t even like coke that much, it was just a case of getting on whatever train I needed to take to get high,” she said while visiting Sydney for her “Wishful Drinking” stand-up comedy show.
