What did Carrie think of the gold bikini?

Does anyone know what Carrie Fisher said when she found out about the gold bikini scenes in ROTJ? Was she happy about it, or pissed?

 

I always wondered that myself. I'd be interested in any answers given.

 

From Insider #68:


With more than a hint of archness in her voice, what [Fisher] remembers most from the experience of shooting the scenes in Jabba's palace is not so much being chained to a 500-pound slug but enduring take after take in the bikini from hell. "It was like steel, not steel but hard plastic, and if you stood behind me you could see straight to Florida. You'll have to ask Boba Fett about that." The slave outfit was definitely an extreme couture departure for Fisher, who spent most of her screen time in the first film in a white turtle-necked dress meant to emphasize her character's purity. Pure "only by the color of the costume," notes Fisher. "All I have to say is that [Natalie Portman] walks through the doorway and has a wardrobe change. I get one, sorry, two dresses, and the first one [looks] the same all the way around."


EDIT:Ha HA beat ya

Ken Kenobi- And you have a nice day

 

In one interview I read, Carrie described the bikini as "painful". I for one am eternally grateful that she decided to tough it out rather than complain to George about getting another costume.

Way to go, Carrie!!!!

 

Whenever I see that bikini, I cannot help but wonder how uncomfortable (and kinda cold!) that thing must have been.

 

JMT: Awww, but you'd look good it in.

Or, wait, you're better as a DLLNNPM...

I'll be eteranally greatful to Carrie for that bikini scene.

 

One woman's discomfort vs. millions of fans' pleasure. Which is better?
