Have you ever wondered what it was like for the original actresses auditioning for the role of Princess Leia in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope? Well, one actress recently revealed her experience and it’s quite shocking.During the audition process, the original actress, whose name has not been disclosed, recalled feeling excited to potentially be a part of the iconic Star Wars franchise. However, her excitement quickly turned to disappointment when Harrison Ford, who was auditioning alongside her for the role of Han Solo, appeared completely uninterested.In a recent interview, the actress revealed, ‘I don’t think Harrison was into me at all. He seemed bored and disinterested the whole time. It was no wonder Carrie Fisher ultimately got the role of Princess Leia.’Despite Ford’s lack of enthusiasm, the actress continued with the audition and gave it her all. Unfortunately, her efforts were not enough to sway the casting directors in her favor.In the end, Carrie Fisher was cast as Princess Leia, a role that would become iconic in cinematic history. Fisher’s portrayal of the fearless and feisty princess won over audiences around the world, solidifying her status as a Hollywood legend.It’s interesting to wonder how things would have turned out if the original actress had been cast as Princess Leia instead. Would the chemistry between Princess Leia and Han Solo have been the same without Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford? We may never know.But one thing is for sure – Harrison Ford’s disinterest in the audition process certainly played a role in the casting decision that ultimately led to Carrie Fisher landing the coveted role of Princess Leia.
