Melbourne
(ANI):
Carrie
Fisher's
addiction
to
drugs
was
in
full
swing
during
her
role
as
Princess
Leia
in
'The
Empire
Strikes
Back'
in
1980,
it
has
emerged.
"We
did
cocaine
on
the
set
of
Empire,
in
the
ice
planet," News.com.au
quoted
Fisher
as
saying.
"I
didn't
even
like
coke
that
much,
it
was
just
a
case
of
getting
on
whatever
train
I
needed
to
take
to
get
high," she
said.
During
that
same
year,
1980,
Fisher
played
the
part
of
a
manic
ex-girlfriend
in
The
Blues
Brothers
alongside
her
then
boyfriend
Dan
Ackroyd
and
John
Belushi.
"Slowly
I
realised
I
was
doing
a
bit
more
drugs
than
other
people
and
losing
my
choice
in
the
matter.
It
wasn't
funny
when
a
friend
died
in
my
bed
from
an
overdose
and
it
took
a
long
time
for
that
to
be...
It's
not
funny
still,
but
it's
funnier,
and
not
as
tragic,"
she
said.
She
also
refused
to
blame
either
her
celebrity
upbringing
or
fame
for
her
descent
into
drugs.
"It's
always
been
my
responsibility,
if
it
was
Hollywood
then
we''d
all
be
dope
addicts,"
she
added.
