10 Movie Scenes Actors Were Hidden In

7. Carrie Fisher - Hook

The Nice Guys
TriStar Pictures

At this point it's relatively well known that Star Wars legend Carrie Fisher had a secret(ish) second career as a script doctor in Hollywood, but did you know she also made a cameo in a certain divisive Steven Spielberg film?

Spielberg's fantasy flick Hook is packed with cameo appearances - perhaps most notably a near-unrecognisable Glenn Close as a bearded member of Hook's (Dustin Hoffman) pirate crew - but Fisher has her own basically impossible-to-spot role earlier on.

At the 35-minute mark, just as Peter (Robin Williams) is taken to Neverland, a scenic shot of London shows a couple kissing on a bridge and levitating into the air after being sprinkled with pixie dust by Tinker Bell (Julia Roberts).

Though their faces can't be made out - not even on the film's more recent 4K release - the couple are in fact played by Fisher and her Star Wars director George Lucas.

While the pair are well-known long-time friends of Spielberg, Fisher had actually already been hired to provide uncredited rewrites for Tinker Bell's dialogue throughout the film, so tossing her this cameo was basically a no-brainer.
