Wonderful photos, it amazes me what they achieved without cgi, films like these and The Thing had such a sense of realism in the effects that you dont get at all with cgi.

Highly detailed models > CGI, although currently a combination of the two is probably best.

Best example in terms of disparity, Redwarf old versus new, the old Starbug model killed the CGI one.

She was also doing a hell of a lot of cocaine on the Star Wars set too. There's a good chance a lot of the scenes in the films had her high on it.

Her book is pretty good. Wishful Drinking.
Audiobook version is read by her as well and is imo even better.

Can't remember where I read it but I definitely did.

During this time, in the late 1970s, Fisher became addicted to various drugs. She appeared as Princess Leia in the 1978 made-for-TV movie, The Star Wars Holiday Special, and her drug use was quite evident from her on-screen performance. The problem became so severe that she was nearly fired from The Blues Brothers (1980) for being unable to sober up long enough to film a proper scene. She then cleaned up and joined N.A. and A.A.
