Let’s Remember The Incredible Time When Carrie Fisher and Paul Simon Tripped in the Desert

December 27, 2016


The great Carrie Fisher left us today after suffering a heart attack several days ago. Fisher is best known for her role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars franchise, but also rose to fame with roles in films like The Blues Brothers and others. 

Fisher was never one to not speak her mind, and in a recent interview with Rolling Stone recalled a time in the desert with husband Paul Simon (Fisher and Simon were married briefly in the early 80s) where the two dabbled in some LSD. “I was with Paul and my coat caught on fire,” Fisher said. “We laughed at the flames. I had a lot of fun on acid and mushrooms and all that stuff. It was a part of my life when I was very young. I got into a lot of trouble because of it. Not the LSD, though. The other drugs.”

 Rest easy, Princess.
