Carrie Fisher Didn't Love That Famous Gold Bikini as Much as You Did
The actress told People in 1983, that the "slave Leia" costume wasn't exactly the most comfortable thing she's put on, explaining that, "I started checking for any bounce or slip after takes," adding, "It was, ‘CUT. Hey, how they doin'? The hooters in place?'"
She was also unapologetic about her annoyance with having to constantly be mindful of her body positioning because she didn't want to have any unflattering angles (#thestruggle).
Fisher once told NPR in an interview, that her scene, "was like, ‘Where am I in all of this?' … I have to stay with the slug with the big tongue! Nearly naked, which is not a style choice for me. … It wasn't my choice. When [director George Lucas] showed me the outfit, I thought he was kidding and it made me very nervous. I had to sit very straight because I couldn't have lines on my sides, like little creases. No creases were allowed, so I had to sit very, very rigid straight."
