I admire Carrie's honesty. She does not hide anything or sugarcoat her issues. I've never seen a celebrity who is this open and honest during an interview. She was extremely intelligent and wonderfully witty and funny.
Much respect for this woman. She was always so open an honest. Perhaps even more sane than all of us in many ways. Bless her heart, may she Rest In Peace.
I adore this brilliantly witty, honest, and funny woman. She is missed so much. Her books were the only books I had on reserve, before they came out. Brilliant writer. I will always miss her...
She sincerely saved my life when I was in LA.. this is the BEST interview on Bipolar I have ever seen. And I’ve seen them all in the last 12 years! Thank you-it’s so life changing to so many humans to see🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🧠🧠🧠🌎🌎🌎
"I would not take my Daughter away from my Ex because I grew up without a Father" my words right there :( I can't get over her death that's my woman crush right there 😭😢 no one ever can replace Princess Leia. Meryl is an great actress but even her can't reach Carrie. You truly been Missed Princess Leia! May the force be with you 💜
ya, she was a contender, like a friend of mine says, "smart is sexy'' & she's funny, the kind of humor that comes with hard times, that knows the difference between fluff & what is vital...
Saying you’re an alcoholic & an addict, is like saying you’re from Los Angeles and also from California. My favorite Carrie Fisher line. She was brilliant ❤️
What a sharp and bright mind...expressing deep inner things in such a smart, subtle yet brutally honest way... She is classy here, cause the questions and the interviewer are the dumbest ever... RIP Carrie.
She was very intelligent and deeply intellectual woman, funny and witty. I love her books. I feel that she should be famous for her amazing books not only about Star Wars.
She was so beautiful and charming, how did she ever manage to feel insecure? It's tragic that she didn't see herself as the lovely, clever woman the world saw her as, which she really was. To say, "Why would you want to sit across from me at the breakfast table as a wife?" (paraphrasing)... 14:48 just sad. Didn't know her own worth. RIP.
She seemed secure young starting out. She got her very famous starring role early on and the roles following were not a lot of leading lady roles. That may have been hard. But she was multi talented. Not sure what was going on in her life that caused the drugs. Young she was so mature and secure IMO.
she was ill and tried to self-medicate out of ignorance and desperation. Had she known what she needed to know it's unlikely she would've made the mistakes she did.
Coming from someone who is gay, what her ex did to her was messed up. Yes, I understand he may have had conflicting feelings but if he knew he was gay and didn't tell her or wasn't honest up front about his conflicting feelings or past, that is a grave betrayal. Even in my teenage years, I only dated a few guys and ended it then on because I didn't want to HURT someone when I knew my heart wasn't really there. And yes, there is the argument that straight couples can hurt each other, but not revealing this huge fact about yourself, is just a huge betrayal - just as Carrie states. As a gay person myself, my heart broke for her. She was dealt so many bad cards from the very beginning. :(
W R That's so true. My ex and I were married and had a daughter in late 70s. After several years he came out. He always said he had done what society expected but it all became too much. We all paid the price back then.
Especially when he put the blame on her. The fact that she was willing to share custody of Billie with him, shows the decent human being Carrie really was and didn't give herself a lot of credit for.
For such a beautiful woman. She seem's to have had her fair share of miserable, relationship's with men. Starting with her Father! I've seen many, people go from 1 disaster to the next. It's as if they feel unloveable + go looking for proof to back it up? But hey, she got off with Harrison Ford, so could get comfort + value from that, I suppose? I can relate to her, as a child of divorce myself + from my own sexual experiences with some lesbian's. Because if they were gay, then why would they have been so insistent on sleeping with me to begin with? And the irony was, it was them got threatened when I'd sleep with one of the other "sisters?" It disturbed me a bit tbh. I didn't care about the lesbian label, if you like someone, you like someone! But it was the hypocrisy which put me off in the end. They didn't need men, but couldnt accept it when I didn't need them back? I'd shown them that they couldn't control me, so they'd resort to revenge games + try to use me for free money + attention instead!? It does affect you on an emotional level. As you begin to question if you're stupid or if you're lacking as a man somehow? But it became obvious, that they were hiding some deep, hurt or denial issue's. Which helped me to gain more acceptance of it. Carrie was a very, clever woman. So if I could work out that it wasn't all about me, than I'm sure that she could too. She was always brave + frank about her own mental health "issue's." So she'd know that it wasn't just a personal "betrayal" but a sign of the other person's insecurity, as well as society's too? She even seem's to find humour in it sometimes. And she was understanding enough to encourage him to keep in contact with their daughter. Which speak's volume's about her character as a person + shows that she had some acceptance over it too! It's not a person's identity, orientation or even gender that matter's. It's the manipulation of each other + society's judgement's that suck.
She was really a fantastic communicator. All her words roll of her tongue so easily and so honestly...and you hang on all of them. Bet she was a good writer. RIP. Debbie too.
Words cannot define who this woman is and was. I beyond cherish and love you Carrie. I so wish you met Billie's son. Your grand child ❤🌲🇦🇺📽🎬❤🤗Always in my heart
the hard talk interviewer likes to come across as hard hitting, brusk,just the facts maam, asking pointed questions & Carrie worked her charm on him. poor brit, guy never stood a chance. she rocked it.
I do believe Carrie Fisher is so open with her experiences that one can't help but to admire and watch her verbal talents in her story telling. I believe she is completely vulnerable when she opens up with mental health issues where people can see where each one figure out know what happened to them.
Fisher is so generous & intelligent and the interviewer is so unresponsive. She's spontaneous and he just tries to make her repeat clichés... On the other hand the phony friendliness & scripted banter of most American TV interviews is just as obnoxious.
Love this interview and I hardly noticed the host breathing through his nose like he’s crawling through a small tunnel in the dark with duct tape over his mouth.
I met Carrie Fisher about 30 years ago... by chance. She lights up any space she's in and regardless of who her parents were.... Carrie was her own person!
What a very interesting person seems very posh on this interview . Bless her ❤️ I've suffered from depression for yes so I understand what a hard place she comes from RIP Carrie XXX🧡🧡🧡🧡
7 stone England = 98 pounds USA. Also there's a print article from the pov of the tutor in philosophy that Carrie Fisher hired from a phD program in NYC when she lived on the Upper West Side.
What has 'hard talk' got to do with celebrity interviews? Respect to Carrie Fisher for her courage and coping with bipolar disorder. Her candour is disarming.
The host of BBC HardTALK, Tim Sebastien, went on to host DW Conflict Zone. Here's another interview from 2016, this time with Frauke Petry then leader of AFP, that starts badly and goes downhill. ua-cam.com/video/anmDcVeuZwA/v-deo.html
I've been binging on a quest to grok Carrie Fisher. This was a more profound set of responses to the set of questions. Some answers are stock, but she goes a little further than the glib or repeated.
Wow you can see how the stress of her life changed her, and her voice is different than it was several years before too. Poor thing. She was so pretty and had a great start with Star Wars. Maybe too much too soon.
She made sure to overcompensate and she was well read early in life. She voices regret at leaving school at 15 and not having gone to Sarah Lawrence later, when she was accepted. She hired a philosophy tutor! The step-father that impoverished her mother and had their house repossessed set in motion the disruption of Carrie Fisher's education. Though Carrie was supposed to do correspondence school, she says she "slid" out. I think her mother is to blame for educational neglect of the 15 year old, but thought she was opening the door to a career for her daughter and keeping her close as she herself had to work. Debbie Reynolds was facing a big challenge and I don't mean to be harsh. Debbie Reynolds had gone to school while under contract, so she must have thought it was an option for Carrie too. Her mother saw to it that she later attended the drama school in Britain where she must have read the classic texts of dramaturgy, e.g., Shakespeare, Ibsen, Shaw, Chekhov, the Greek tragedies, etc.
She was well educated - just chose not to seek University and she was raised in a "Well-read" and "MGM Star Trained - Home" MGM Created Stars from existing talents and that included Voice/Diction, Vocabulary, a Plethora of Refining Subjects - and Carrie was raised by an MGM Star and same Environment. She was quite intelligent.
Although this interviewer is somewhat bland and not interacting with her- i.e. RE-acting to her much, I think she is slightly off balance as a result, since she was used to totally charming people and making them laugh, getting them INTO the scene-- but he stays out pretty much and she may have revealed more as a result- or-it was just timing.
given the fact that Harrison had kids when he cheated does not make him as beloved as our carrie n mark.... please note: mark hamill had stayed married to Mary Lou since 1978. and adored his fans like carrie does. you would understand why some fans hate last jedi for belittling their roles in favor of brand new cast n plot points....
Pickles Mcgee I'm right there with you! When compare Mark and Harrison, Mark defnetly is out man right there he is such a great Role Model and person in all! Only love for him! Harrison is a good actor but from what I hear or read, not really a man you want to be married to lol!
It seems the opposite; it’s not having a photograph taken that takes one’s soul but looking at a photograph for too long can do so. Of course, it could be both.
How lovely charming she was. She was a real Princess. Maybe not a Queen, because we all have this portrayal that a princess envolves youth, beauty, and all those things that makes a man willing to fight a dragon in order to get to her.
I admire Carrie's honesty. She does not hide anything or sugarcoat her issues. I've never seen a celebrity who is this open and honest during an interview. She was extremely intelligent and wonderfully witty and funny.
Jamie Lee Curtis, Whoopi Goldberg and Kathleen Turner are other actresses who are quite open in interviews.
@@shanefolan Carrie Fisher was remarkable.

Interviewer: Does the fact you played Princess Leia in Star Wars still follow you around?

She's so charming, witty and deeply intelligent. Such a beautiful woman.
She looked so beautiful here with her hairstyle.
A very witty and intelligent lady. Gone too soon but her legacy will live on.

Thank you for this post. I miss.her so much. It is such a comfort just to see her and hear her talk.
I can see why Paul Simon fell in love with Carrie Fisher.
She was very intelligent and deeply intellectual woman, funny and witty. I love her books. I feel that she should be famous for her amazing books not only about Star Wars.
I will miss her always ... & still can't believe the bond her Mother & she had that they died almost simultaneously * RiP 🌹❤
She's looks so great here.
She was looking great here. Helluva woman.
This is extremely inspiring for someone going through the trenches.
umm...slightly strange that you made that comment very shorty after Carrie died.
@@hartleyhare8316 She remains inspiring even in death ;)
I see honesty with herself and with others, but she also seems kind, loving and smiles but does not mean it is easy for her... quite inspiring... RIP

So much more complicated than this unfortunately, when you suffer from mental health problems and addictions.
She seemed secure young starting out. She got her very famous starring role early on and the roles following were not a lot of leading lady roles. That may have been hard. But she was multi talented. Not sure what was going on in her life that caused the drugs. Young she was so mature and secure IMO.

Seemed to not be on proper bipolar meds. Was she even diagnosed properly early on?

She was always to hard on Her looks, She was beautiful. She was amazingly pretty in Star Wars.
Is it just me or whenever she smiles she just magical ages back to 19
YES!!!!!
So articulate …. could listen all day ….. R.I.P …… ✨
I'm in too!
Wow what Hollywood does to these beautiful women I think she was beautiful intelligent and so appreciate her honesty I was so upset when she died
She was really a fantastic communicator. All her words roll of her tongue so easily and so honestly...and you hang on all of them. Bet she was a good writer. RIP. Debbie too.
What an bright intelligent interesting woman. I love her honesty it makes her more beautiful because she is so real. I love this woman.

the hard talk interviewer likes to come across as hard hitting, brusk,just the facts maam, asking pointed questions & Carrie worked her charm on him. poor brit, guy never stood a chance. she rocked it.
"It didn't come up, so to speak." Just after talking about her love of puns.
Some of those questions were old at the time. 5:56 "You had to lose weight for that?"
She was great.
P.S. Why does the interviewer sound like Vader when he (the interviewer) isn't talking?
Can you imagine an interview like this today??? with whatever actress??
Yes!
By Piers Morgan.
None. Carrie No1 forever
It is a very open and Frank interview. I appreciate the interviewer throwing out hard questions and Carrie being honest.
I do believe Carrie Fisher is so open with her experiences that one can't help but to admire and watch her verbal talents in her story telling. I believe she is completely vulnerable when she opens up with mental health issues where people can see where each one figure out know what happened to them.
I believe Eddie Fisher was the cause of a lot of the pain to her family. The fact that it was done publicly didn't help either.
brilliant! lov Carrie
Elizabeth Taylor death
God, what a dame....
Unhmmm, the romantic relationship she had with Harrison Ford was still a secret at the time of this interview.......
Highly intelligent, pretty, talented how could she not be. Shalom Carrie. RIP with Debbie.

Why can I hear this guy's breathing louder than my own?!
Was recorded by Darth Vader.
She's ten steps ahead of him.

“I’m acting right now....didn’t you notice?” 21:32.
Best moment
