Carrie Fisher Did Cocaine on Set of 'Empire Strikes Back'

(FoxNews.com) - Princess Leia really was in galaxy far, far, away while shooting the "Star Wars" sequel, as Carrie Fisher recently admitted to snorting cocaine on set.

"We did cocaine on the set of 'Empire,' in the ice planet," she said in an interview while promoting her one-woman show in Australia. "I didn't even like the coke that much, it was just a case of getting on whatever train I needed to take to get high."

Around the same time, Fisher was cast in "The Blues Brothers" alongside her then boyfriend Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi. Belushi died in 1982 from a cocaine and heroin overdose.
