standing  rumor that originally, Sissy Spacek (qv) was cast as Princess  Leia, and Carrie Fisher (qv) as Carrie, but when Fisher refused to  appear in nude scenes and Spacek was willing to do them, they  switched parts. However, Fisher refuted this story in a Premiere  magazine article called "The Force Wasnt With Them," about actors  who auditioned unsuccessfully for _Star Wars (1977)_ (qv). That  article quoted Fisher as saying, "Not only do I love being nude, I  wouldve been nude then....But anyway, its total bullshit [that  Fisher refused to play Carrie]."
