Carrie Fisher--not a Star Wars fan?

Daniel Horowitz, writing at ShalomLife.com, tells an amusing if completely unverifiable story about a chat with Carrie Fisher at a Las Vegas blackjack table twenty-two years ago:

Fast forward to 1990 when, in Las Vegas, I found myself sharing a blackjack table with Carrie Fisher - Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan herself. We began discussing her latest film at the time, the semi-autobiographical Postcards from the Edge, when through slurry speech and red eyes, the Princess, obviously in no shape to command a ship of any kind, thanked me for my interest.

When I mentioned that while I was a fan of hers and that particular film, I mentioned that I was less enthusiastic about Star Wars. My lack of enthusiasm was quickly confirmed by the Princess who rolled her blood-shot eyes before inserting a finger down her throat in a display of mock vomit.
