Carrie Fisher 'Taped Into' Star Wars Bikini....

Actress Carrie Fisher had to be taped into the famous gold bikini she wore in 1983's Star Wars epic Return Of The Jedi - to stop her suffering an embarrassing costume malfunction.Producers on the sci-fi epic were so worried about Fisher's breasts falling out of the skimpy bathing costume on set, they firmly taped the garment to her body.She says, "I had to tape them (my breasts) down, because there's no underwear in space. George (Lucas, creator) knows that for a fact.

"That bikini didn't move, so you could see all the way to Florida.".And when asked where the famous outfit has ended up, she jokes, "George has it - he wears it all the time."In related news Mark Hamill was jealous when his Star Wars co-star Harrison Ford went on to carve out a more successful film career, according to fellow castmate Carrie Fisher.Hamill played lead character Luke Skywalker in the hit film series and Fisher is convinced the actor was sure the role would lead to a long, prosperous stint in the movie industry.
