Her first film performance and she knocked it out of the damn park!! Incredible innate talent. 17 years old here... 17. and she more than holds her own with Warren Beaty. Her subtle intonations, body language, cadence. It's worth a nomination. Brilliant.
@@CurCam713 Her birthday is in October so she was still 18 when this was released and I saw an interview with her on RU-vid with Mike Douglas where she says she was 17 in Shampoo. That's because she was 17 during the filming, then 18 when it was released in theatres in March 1975. Later that year, in October 1975, she turned 19.
@@CurCam713 Carrie was born OCT 21 1956. Movie RELEASED Feb 11 1975. Movies are usually released a year after principal photography, so shot 1974. Carrie not 18 until Oct 21 1974, thus would actually have been 17 when Principal Photography was done.
@403 Forbidden There's nothing "ew" about 90s sex (even if casual-sex isn't the holy grail). At the very least it was more creative and less brutal back then ..... Now sit on my face
That made me laugh too. Same thing happens in the movie Jackie Brown. Quentin Tarantino probably ripped the idea off from this movie. Bridget Fonda's character asks the same exact thing to Robert Di Niro's character.
I’m so used to seeing Carrie the person who had gone through a lifetime or Princess Leia. It’s always nice to see her in other roles. She really was a good actress and a fantastic writer.
@@arkangel7819I think everyone at that time was up for the role of Regan in The Exorcist including Alissa Jones aka Buffy from Family Affair. God that would have been something
Their resemblance is what got me into Stevie nicks 30 years ago -- I thought Carrie had gone blonde and joined Fleetwood Mac. If only for a second. They could easily pass for sisters.
When people think of Carrie Fisher, a lot of them think of her incredibly honest sarcastic wisdom. I commend whoever cast her in this role as a seductress. She wouldn't have been the first person I would have thought of, but she was brilliant in this. Yes, I know everyone thinks of her as Princess Leia. She's so much more than that . She is missed.
Hot damn, Carrie Fisher at 17. Man, she was gorgeous, beautiful, lovely, & pretty back then. She looks incredibly amazing & awesome. Damn, we all miss her. RIP, Carrie Fisher! 😘😍🥰🌹🌹🌹♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏
she stole the scene from Beatty,you can see the talent in this three minute scene,especially when she says I'm nothing like my mother!!the sadness in her eyes,just a great debut!!rest in peace Carrie.
Yeah, that's a pretty big presence for a teen in their first movie. Maybe having interected with megastars from such a young age gave her an edgy confidence around upcomers like Beatty.
@@donkey3187 He barely said anything in this scene. All he did was eat. In fact I thought the dialogue from him here was just weird. He was so aloof! She'd ask him direct questions and it's like he didnt even hear her.
killerdude35 His role was exactly that, aloof and sexy (for the 70s) with a mystique that drew his salon clients in. All Carrie ever did was get bit parts that always alluded to her famous “‘mother” issues, drug use and sex with a lot of men
I saw this movie in a military theater for a quarter. It was sparsely attended, but there were three little girls (severely under-age for an "R"-rated flick) in the front row. After the show ended, I walked out of the building. The three kids were in front of the exit doors talking loudly among themselves. "Did you hear that? Princess Leia said FUCK!!" Cinematic history for all time.
You must have seen this years later because the movie was from 1975, two years before Star Wars. Nobody knew who Princess Leia was. Carrie Fisher, herself, didn't even know that in a couple of years she was going to be in a movie called Star Wars that would change her life, and bank account, forever.
compare this to a film her mother made at age 17 called Two Weeks With Love(1950) Debbie Reynolds looks and sounds 15. Her daughter matured at a faster rate perhaps due to the Hollywood lifestyle she was raised in.
This Sucks teenage girls didn’t look and act like children like they do today and could actually carry on an intelligent conversation with an adult without being or sounding awkward.
@@evanstein3011 In this scene she is seducing her mother’s hairdresser (and is successful) . It has been a while since I saw this film also, but I think that she knows that her mother is attracted to him and so I interpreted it as a way that a, poor little rich girl, teenage daughter gets back at her mother. Also her blasé attitude about sex at such a young age creeps me out.
Between this, The Man With One Red Shoe where she had a scene in her leopard print bra and underwear and the metal bikini from ROTJ, it was a great time to grow up as a young teen those days.
Carrie Fisher has ALWAYS been a incredibly gorgeous woman. Those big brown eyes can make you melt and her smile will stop you in your tracks. She does light up a room. Sadly she is gone now, and the fact her Mother passed the next day. I'm not sure if that's tragic or if it showed she couldn't be without her. I know there was issues but WHAT FAMILY IS NORMAL? NONE!! And yes the um, OBVIOUS points have already been made. I won't address those. Carrie was beautiful and she also had such a innocent look, but she also was a strong woman who could turn any man into a pile of mashed potoatoes. RIP Carrie Fisher. I first saw you in Star Wars. You became my first movie crush. At 9 years old her confidence and beauty just smacked me like a brick. Here I was a little kid watching this goddess on a movie screen yell at a 7 foot tall Bigfoot. She HAD GUTS!! I also found out that girls like bad boys. UNTIL George Lucas made it creepy....lol. Carrie Fisher will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. She is a wonderful actress and a even stronger and tougher woman. She fought depression and addictions. For those who ridicule that, I'd respond to you but I don't feel what I'd say would be even close to appropriate. Sleep Carrie, I hope your at peace.
They were seriously trying to shoe horn Carrie into a Linda Blair look here...Christ...her death makes me so sad I can't even stand it. Walked out of a 1PM matinee of Rogue One today to find out she had passed away...it was like CGI Leia was her ghost or something...
the same thing happened to me.6pm UK time we came out of the cinema. I was so excited to see her cgi saying 'hope' and we found out as we were coming out. 😢😢
Katie W These 2 deaths are very hard to accept, even if Debbie was 84 & not in great health. It hit a cord in almost everyone that made us look beyond ourselves,into a much wider horizon, that spirituality is a guiding force that we must have in our life.
She was great as Carol Peterson (Tom Hanks wife) in The 'Burbs! Fantastic underrated dark comedy, love it! Bruce Dern, Corey Feldman, Wendy Schaal, Rick Ducommun, Henry Gibson, Courtney Gains, Dick Miller & Gale Gordon. Wonderful casting
@Stephen Murphy He plays the same character in every movie he's been in. His career peaked with the movie "Drillbit Taylor," and then died on the vine.
It's been a Long time since I saw that Movie #Shampoo 1975 With Actress #CarrieFisher And Actor #WarrenBeatty I must have seen a Replay of the film back in the early 80s #70sMovies Sincerely Always, Dave Minnesota
Everything she does here, pops! From the snapping of the carrot on the beat to the way she reacts about her mother and finally, the stillness of her opening and closing moments. You would have had to have been a moron not to see the promise there.
At the end on the hill when Jackie takes off in her Mercedes 280 SL to go home to Lester leaving George on the hill alone with his motorcycle her car sounds like a V8 engine. The 280 SL never had a.V8.
when it was filmed carrie fisher said she was seventeen when she was nineteen she filmed star wars movies' release does not correlate with the age of the actors yo its generally two years after filming
I remember watching this film repeatedly on video when I was training to be a hairdresser in the early 2000's, a stylist I knew who'd seen it at the cinema when it first came out told me "Every self respecting wannabe male hairdresser has to watch this film over and over" it was like a rite of passage for every generation, I'm not in the industry anymore but I hope it still is
Is it me, or is the world going to hell in a handbasket? Trump, Putin, Syria, Iraq (ok cut the list short and say Islamic world) and Europe. I feel like I'm inside "Decline and Fall of Western Civilization.
Brooke Hanley her ECT made her lose a lot of her memories. Her audiobook of Wishful Drinking is on RU-vid. Endlessly fascinating and Carrie herself reads it.
I love how this scene is written. How she constantly challenges his masculinity. How he is on the defensive about her mother. He had no intention of sleeping with her. She wanted to from the moment she saw him.
This is where I first became aware of Carrie Fisher. OMG what a hottie she was here! I still wonder if Warren Beattie did her. Rest in peace Carrie you didn't live long but while you were here you really lived!
This is a Goldie Hawn film where she was being two timed by the Warren Beatty character who slept around. In the end he leaves Goldie's character for a British woman I think Julie Christie.
Acting her way into making the dialogue in this scene work as well as it does looks like it was a sign of serious potential. She's throwing all kinds of abrasiveness, confrontation and provocation at him, but her reaction shots in response to Beatty's character's initial under-responsiveness are what makes her performance stand out. Notice that absolutely none of this powerful, nuanced realism, or the impressive acting potential it implied, can be found in any of her Star Wars work. In those performances, Lucas was looking for something far less subtle or real. He was looking for Space Opera performances, with simple, uncomplicated characters saying clear, straightforard lines, where the rattling pace of the action and its futuristic settings removed the need for anything understated or restrained, anything theatrically important. It might at first seem totally unreasonable to say 'but for her biggest successes, she could have done and been so much more', but even if you just read her writing, you'll know it was true.
Carrie Fisher and I are the same age. I was only 19 and I didnt know a lot about sex, but when I finally got a break from the Army 1975, I went to a theater to see this movie. I fell in love with her. I really loved Princess Leah, but what Carrie said in Shampoo. Princess Leah is still on the back burner. I still love Carrie Fisher today. Star Wars is still my favorite movie.
Ah, barely legal Carrie! She would have been 18 at the time she shot the scenes in late 1974 and early '75. Political incorrectness at its finest. I would have accepted that offer, too; she was that beautiful. Be at peace, darlin'.
I remember seeing this movie when it first hit the screen. Warren Beatty was so impressed with himself. Goldie Hawn, Julie Christie and Carrie Fisher were the real stars.
I read that Carrie was still a virgin when making this movie and Warren told her that she needed to get rid of her virginity. I believe he offered to help her with that.
Inaccurate. Carrie was still a virgin but Warren didn't tell her that. Debbie Reynolds (her mother, and famous actress) threatened him if he even thought of doing anything with 17-year-old Carrie at the time. Warren said he believed her and didn't want to test Debbie.
According to Sheila Weller’s new biography of Carrie Fisher, Carrie’s childhood (and lifelong) dear friend Griffin Dunne did the honors of ending her virginity. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if Warren offered.
Debbie Reynolds, her mother, told Warren that if he even touched Carrie, she would order a hit on him, meaning she would make use of her Las Vegas mob connections to take care of business. Warren apparently believed Debbie, probably a smart idea.
@@winogirlll when she first met Harrison Ford on the set of Star Wars, he hailed a cab back to her place and they had sex. Barely knew each other. Ahh indeed, the seventies combined with Hollyweird. So Ford nailed her where Warren didnt
This is so 70s. "You wanna fuck" was another way of introducing yourself back then. Nobody cared about STDs. You said what was on your mind. No censorship. It was about being natural and real at the same time. You didn't have to baby your language to avoid hurting people's feelings. It was up to others to defend themselves if they got offended, not up to you to pick the right words. Sure, someone could punch you or slap you for being offensive. But that's a risk everyone took. Nobody told on you to the PC Brigade. Everyone fended for themselves, and were free to speak their mind. Those were the days of free speech.
