Drug use documented on camera! Carrie Fisher's 'coke nail' is said to have been captured in Return Of The Jedi

Many people will have been there, got the T-shirt and moved on.
But Carrie Fisher's flirtation with drug use has been caught on camera.
An overeager Reddit user has observed that the actress, best known for her portrayal of Princess Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy, appears to have an overgrown 'coke nail' on both hands.
The 'coke nail' is grown longer than the other nails for cocaine addicts to scoop drugs quickly instead of racking up lines, and is considered to be for addicts or 'fiends on the go'.

Carrie can be seen resting her left hand on Harrison Ford's shoulder, who played Han Solo, in a screengrab from Return Of The Jedi - the third time she reprised her role in the George Lucas story.
The 55-year-old has previously discussed her problems with drugs, and struggle with bipolar, most notably on ABC's 20/20 and The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive with Stephen Fry for the BBC.

British icon Fry described his good friend Fisher as 'not mad enough to be committed, but not sane enough to lead much of a normal life.'
She has also opened up on electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) treatments, saying she receives ECT every six weeks to 'blow apart the cement' in her brain, and also survived an overdose.
Carrie also told chat show queen Oprah Winfrey: 'It makes me feel better, it is not like it was.
'They put you to sleep and give you a medication so there is no convulsions and put these films on you and it is over very quickly.'
