Carrie Fisher at the beach in a very iconic “bikini”, 1983
There’s nothing like a day at the beach, unless of course you’re stuck wearing a bikini that’s prone to rust. While filming 1983’s Return of the Jedi Carrie Fisher had to wear a metal bikini for much of the early scenes at Jabba’s palace and as good as it looked it wasn’t so easy to get around in. Fisher explained:
When [director George Lucas] showed me the outfit, I thought he was kidding and it made me very nervous. I had to sit very straight because I couldn’t have lines on my sides, like little creases. No creases were allowed, so I had to sit very, very rigid straight.
Our next star wasn’t beastly to look at…..
