## Summary

Carrie Fisher said the 1981 comedy *Under the Rainbow* was a bad film and a bad experience, recalling that the cast were stoned during production. Her comments show how even a celebrated performer could look back on some roles with regret, despite a career that included *Star Wars*, *The Blues Brothers* and *When Harry Met Sally*.

In a 2004 interview with BPHope, Fisher named several projects she valued, including *The Empire Strikes Back* and *Hannah and Her Sisters*. She also criticised *The Time Guardian*, a 1989 film she made in Australia, saying she had gone there in a manic decision so she could stop taking medication. Fisher could not remember its title at first, and said she had not seen *Under the Rainbow*.
