Sure, her recent work might benefit from tighter editing, but Carrie Fisher will always be in the pantheon as a writer and as an actress. In a characteristically hilarious new interview, she holds forth on her legacy; plans for her ongoing one-woman show, Wishful Drinking; her laugh-or-you'll-cry geneology; and Tea Baggers.

Side note: If you don't consider "Rosemary's Baby", the season #2 episode of "30 Rock" in which Fisher guest-starred to be the reason TV was invented, odds are good I don't like you much.
Ooh, thanks for the tip! Fisher is kind of my idol. (Wish her show would come to my town!)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that ep of 30 Rock, but I will chase it down forthwith.
Agreed! It's ridiculous how much I adore most of her work. Said "30 Rock" ep is on iTunes; Tina Fey refers to it as one of her favorites, too. Definitely worth repeated viewing.
