Carrie Fisher Interview 1980 (Empire Strikes Back) Brian Linehan's City Lights

In this interview from 1980, Carrie Fisher talks about her early career, and her iconic role as Princess Leia in The Empire Strikes Back (Stars Wars Episode V).

His programs City Lights and Linehan have not been seen since they first aired and are now available for the first time for licensing. Linehan, a stylishly gifted broadcaster, meticulously did all his own research and that, coupled with his knowledge and passion about film and film-making, puts him in a class all by himself.

She is so beautiful..... I am in absolute Awe of this woman, forget the Star wars films, this woman, writer, actress, singer, comedienne, chess playing, French speaking is so classy. I would have loved to have met her. Absolute CLASS.

The harmonics in her voice is magnetic and soothing to Listen to her talk when she was younger, makes you just want to take her out for icecream and hangout. She doesn’t take herself too seriously, I could talk to her all day about life. One of the most non-arrogant and humble Hollywood celebrities. But there is a bit of sadness in her eyes something unresolved.

In a previous interview, Brian Linehan had read a poem that Carrie Fisher had written in her adolescence. That explains why he knew she may want to write way before her books and scripts became public.

She exudes so much warmth and affectionate interest here. She seems to really like him

Carrie was quite good as a college student Marie post "Star Wars" in Laurence Olivier's stage TV adaptation for itv production of "Come Back, Little Sheba".
