>Fisher said she liked Cushing so much that it was difficult to act as though she hated Tarkin,[120] and she had to substitute somebody else in her mind to muster the feelings. Although one of her lines referred to Tarkin’s “foul stench,” she said the actual actor smelled like “linen and lavender,” something Cushing attributed to his tendency to wash and brush his teeth thoroughly before filming because of his self-consciousness about bad breath.
Is that “can’t keep a straight face smile” or a “sempai is touching me!” smile?
BTS | Peter Cushing’s carpet slippers
The riding boots given to actor Peter Cushing (Grand Moff Tarkin) to wear with his costume was apparently so ill-fitting that he was given permission from director George Lucas to wear his own carpet slippers instead; He was thus never filmed below the knees. Actress Carrie Fisher has reportedly said that she found her interrogation scene with Peter Cushing so difficult not only because he was such a nice man in real life, but also because she “found it difficult to be intimidated by a man wearing carpet slippers”.
If there’s anyone you should be intimidated by, it’s a man powerful enough to wave off all this uniform stuff and just dress how he likes.
