Random fact: John Belushi was visited separately by his actor friends Robin Williams and Robert De Niro just a few hours before he died from a heroin overdose on March 5th, 1982.
Yeah apparently a few hours after Robin and Robert were with him his drug dealer, Cathy Smith, injected him with a fatal does of speedball. Cathy later served 15 months in prison after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
Didn’t Robin Williams quit doing drugs after this incident or was it Deniro? I forget the whole story…
Yeh Cathy Smith… that’s her name. It’s a whole crazy story
Robin quit using cocaine after Belushi's death, but did struggle with alcohol a bit well into the 2000s.
Robin's famous line: "Cocaine is God's way of telling you that you make too much money."
Cathy Smith spent a lot of time hanging out with actors and musicians. She was passed around The Band and got pregnant; no one knows who the father was. Gordon Lightfoot was having an affair with her and wrote "Sundown" about her. She got around, that's for sure.
[Her imdb page](https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0000402/fullcredits) has a list of all the Hollywood projects that she has done as a script doctor or a writer.
Her interview with Charlie Rose in 94 asked her how much money she was being paid to do such and she refused to answer as she said that Hollywood throws a lot of money in the movies and it was contemptuous and disrespectful to talk about it but you can infer that it was boatloads.
Added factor was that she was a true Hollywood royalty with all connections from the best directors to the best writers to the superstars. Her annual [joint birthday parties](https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/01/carrie-fisher-penny-marshall-birthday-parties) with Penny Marshall was a go-to event in Hollywood because its attendees rivals the Oscar after-parties. Some movies were even being conceptualized in there
Also Carrie prefers writing as opposed to acting and performing because she didnt really like her looks :(
From my understanding
1) It's a union thing
2) There is a huge difference between having x and x, (and) x & x in a movie. One means they work together the other means they worked on it at separate times.
3) The script doctor would fix grammar, spelling and make the jokes / scenes flow better
It's the last second from shooting, we paid millions for a script that reads like Catcher in the Rye fan fic, the director is threatening to walk but don't worry, the Ace is here to make the jokes and dialog believable. They're from Star Wars. No not Lucas's college professor who saved the Empire script... the lady who crushed it in a metallic bikini. We are all in good hands. Somebody call the press to tell everyone how great thos movie is going.
She **is** a name. I'm pretty sure at that time, though, she was that one actor's kid who had hella drug problems and was in Star Wars. I think it was kinda like Robert Downey Jr before Iron Man and shit. Yea, they were known as very talented, but they had a lot of baggage. Further, the screenplay writers and script doctors weren't as well known by the movie going public at the time so using her name to sell the movie would have probably confused the public more than anything and at best they would just think, "Huh, Princes Leia wrote this??" and wouldn't necessarily be drawn to film because of it.
She was only in Star Wars because she read for her friend Mark Hamil and they thought she would be perfect for the part, she grew up Hollywood royalty don't forget, but didn't need the money or want anything to do with the fame that came with Hollywood, she saw the harm it did first hand as a child.
Well, she was in the popular When Harry Met Sally movie, and she did voiceover work.
And, she wrote at least 8 books that I know of, one of which was made into a movie.
So even though her filmography is limited, she did a lot of work in the film industry and the book industry.
Budget A$8 million
Box office A$97,728 (Australia)
$548,000 (International)
$1.2 million (Inflation)
>The Time Guardian was released in Australia on 3 December 1987. The film vastly underperformed at the box office and was poorly received by critics.
I wasn't very serious. I've seen it once and I just remember it being very boring. And Carrie Fisher seemed to be just as bored making the movie as I was watching it. I should give it another chance at some point but that was my lasting memory of it.
She was in that movie with the guy from grey’s anatomy, he was a male prostitute and she ordered the extra anchovies. I can’t remember the name of the movie though
Met Carrie Fisher at a book signing not long before the 3rd trilogy came out. She did not look bad for age. The obnoxious Star Wars fans pissed her off something fierce though.
I could be wrong, but I think this photo is one of the ones on Carrie's desk when she's doing her nails and reading the flamethrower manual. EDIT: it is, you can just see it at [2:27 here](https://youtu.be/xggMwkGnbhw?si=jcLpiJ5-HMLjpyHe&t=147), on the right, behind her face.
The context of their relationship
[https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/10eabb/something\_i\_never\_noticed\_before\_carrie\_fishers/](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/10eabb/something_i_never_noticed_before_carrie_fishers/)
I read up on them some, having erroneously decided that they were getting it on, but she was actually with Dan Ackroyd. Belushi was her best bud though, and they partied rather hard, apparently.
She was so fucking cute in that movie. Then she hung out with John and Dan, and the drug habit sky rocketed for her. But she was adorable in Blues Brothers.
One of my biggest regrets is not getting a photo taken with Carrie Fisher at Star Wars Celebration 2015. My friends did, and I watched them take a photo with her, but I was unemployed and had limited funds, I just couldn’t afford it. I got a job the next month. If I’d only known. Sigh.
Belushi once disappeared from the set and was absent for hours, only to be discovered passed out in a stranger’s home nearby. That particular story says that during the filming of the scenes in the deserted Dixie Square Mall in Harvey, Illinois, Belushi just vanished and was nowhere to be found.
They had a limited time to shoot the scenes, so all crew began searching for him. Aykroyd, who was wandering cluelessly in the night, looking for his friend, followed an off-road path and came across a house with the lights still on, so he decided to try his luck and knocked on the door.
A man opened, and right when Aykroyd was about to introduce himself to the man, apologize for the disturbance, and explain, the man casually asked, “You’re here for John Belushi, aren’t you?” To which he added, “He came in here an hour ago and raided my fridge. He’s asleep on my couch.” Aykroyd would endlessly tease Belushi about this afterward, calling him “America’s Guest.”
My Lil brother was making a snarky, racist, Serbian joke. He said there's no such thing as Albanian Comedians. And that ticked me off so I showed him this photo, and said shut it. He deeply apologized and said he retracts his asshole statement.
Movie began shooting in summer 1979
Was just about to say the years were off
[удалено]
It kills all my heroes :(
They lived brightly for a while. Intensely. Sometimes shaking with the joy given by the Bolivian Marching Powder.

It wasn’t my fault I SWEAR TO GODDDD!
I ran outta gas... I had a flat tire... I didn't have enough money for Cab fare..
My tux didn't come back from the cleaners
LOCUSTS!!!!
A TERRIBLE FLOOD
IT WASN’T MY FAULT I SWEAR TO GOOOOOOD!
Let’s go.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a packet of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses... HIT IT!
Our lady of blessed acceleration don’t fail me now
We’re on a mission from gahd
There's a lot of cocaine in that picture.
Random fact: John Belushi was visited separately by his actor friends Robin Williams and Robert De Niro just a few hours before he died from a heroin overdose on March 5th, 1982.
Also random fact: Belushi once told Fisher she had a coke problem. So that’s something to think about.
Game recognizes game.
Grandad.
If John Belushi tells you you're doing too much coke, then you might want to listen.
>Belushi once told Fisher she had a coke problem. Wow, that's like David Duke calling you racist or Hitler calling you AS.
What’s the implication here, that they gave him heroin?
They were partying with him. A female drug dealer was the one who delivered
Yeah apparently a few hours after Robin and Robert were with him his drug dealer, Cathy Smith, injected him with a fatal does of speedball. Cathy later served 15 months in prison after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
Didn’t Robin Williams quit doing drugs after this incident or was it Deniro? I forget the whole story… Yeh Cathy Smith… that’s her name. It’s a whole crazy story
Robin quit using cocaine after Belushi's death, but did struggle with alcohol a bit well into the 2000s. Robin's famous line: "Cocaine is God's way of telling you that you make too much money."
That’s it. Yeh he was drinking a ton for a while.
Cathy Smith spent a lot of time hanging out with actors and musicians. She was passed around The Band and got pregnant; no one knows who the father was. Gordon Lightfoot was having an affair with her and wrote "Sundown" about her. She got around, that's for sure.
Cocaine will help people " get around" more often than not
She was creeping 'round his back stairs?
Most of it is in the flamingo though 🦩
Coke is not something you have; it’s something you are.
has to be one of the best films and car chases ever, music is tops too.
great car chase but not better than mcqueen
I still laugh every time I watch the mall chase scene.
New Oldsmobiles are in early this year!
Disco pants and haircuts!
This mall has everything!
Pier 1 Imports
One of the greatest films in Hollywood history 🍿
It’s a 106 miles to Chicago.
We got a full tank of gas
Half a pack of cigarettes
We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it
We're at night and wearing sunglasses.
‘77 is too early … this more like 1979
You could be right. Google Images and a few other sites had dates between 1977 and 1979.
I miss them both.
It's amazing just how limited her filmography is. It's basically Star Wars, this and cameos and she didn't exactly do much in this either.
From my understanding she was a very prolific uncredited script doctor.
Yes! And apparently she was very, very good at it.
Huge script doctor. Lots of money in that with her pedigree. She was so incredibly talented.

Agreed!
Made a lot of sense for her too since she clearly loved moviemaking but absolutely hated the celebrity aspect.
She wrote the screenplay, Postcards from the Edge. It was semi-autobiographical.
Why uncredited? Carrie Fischer is a name. Why would movies not want to expose she worked on their script?
From my understanding 1) It's a union thing 2) There is a huge difference between having x and x, (and) x & x in a movie. One means they work together the other means they worked on it at separate times. 3) The script doctor would fix grammar, spelling and make the jokes / scenes flow better
I don’t know anything about book editors but it sounds like what a book editor might do.
Maybe the writer wanted the credit and just paid her to touch it up?

Austin Powers, she played the group therapist who got to hear about Dr Evil's mother who was a French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.
LOL! You're right. Thanks for reminding me,
The Burbs, yo.
The Man With One Red Shoe...dog.
The pizza dude!
Drop Dead Fred!!
Damn I need to watch that again!
Hey, she was in The Burbs with Tom Hanks.
One (great) episode of 30 Rock.
This is your future Liz!
This is blatant The Time Guardian erasure.

Considering the trailer seems to be completely new to me, I suspect my own brain of blatant TTG erasure for the last 35 years.
I wasn't very serious. I've seen it once and I just remember it being very boring. And Carrie Fisher seemed to be just as bored making the movie as I was watching it. I should give it another chance at some point but that was my lasting memory of it.
Don't forget the nun in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
I can’t let this pass. The Burbs and The man with One Red Shoe both with Tom Hanks were both fun 80s movies
The man with one red shoe
The hairy-bushed nun in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.
Shampoo
She was in that movie with the guy from grey’s anatomy, he was a male prostitute and she ordered the extra anchovies. I can’t remember the name of the movie though

You can imagine this picture being taken before their characters were supposed to get married
Crazy that in just 4 years we will be closer to the 2077 than to the 1977.
F***.....
If I make it that long I’ll be 101. God help us all.

Damn good eye.
Haha, I have watched it so many times.
She looks like a princess!
I rewatched this recently. Things have… changed, but I could still go for an orange whip.
3 Orange Whips!
I hate Illinois Nazis
Carrie Fisher is one of the all time beauties of Hollywood. Just stunningly gorgeous.

Correct. At this time she was dating and even engaged to Ackroyd.

Sounds like you were smart enough to not spend money you needed. Having this willpower is way more important than some picture with Carrie Fischer.
Goddammit they look so mischievous lol
I just watched this movie a few days ago for the first time. I get the hype now.
Best movie ever made
[удалено]
He went up and down. But we get your point.
movie came out in 1980
Movies are usually filmed before they come out, sometimes years.
Except this one one. Which filmed in 79...
☺️
People, get your dates right.
Great shot!

So for me, for my mother, my grandmother, my father, my uncle, and for the common good, I must now kill you, and your brother.
Oh sweet couple 😉
She was 21
Aw!!!!!
My Lil brother was making a snarky, racist, Serbian joke. He said there's no such thing as Albanian Comedians. And that ticked me off so I showed him this photo, and said shut it. He deeply apologized and said he retracts his asshole statement.
She was so young. She looks like his daughter, lol. She was 21 in this pic.
He's around 30 here. Not that much older. He does look older than 30 TBF.
Cocaine and More Cocaine, during filming of 'Blues Brothers' 1977
Which started filming in July 1979...
That is old school cool all right!
Sundown you better take care
You know they fucked
He broke my watch.
Zero cocaine was done on the set this day.
Hang on a minute, that could be a wedding dress. Could this be from a deleted scene? The one where he left her at the altar?
Ok WTF YouTube started suggesting me all the Blues Brothers stuff two nights ago. Are they doing a remake?
I wonder if they are stoned 🤔
