Finally, after four hit novels, Carrie Fisher comes clean (well,
sort of ) with the crazy truth that is her life in her first-ever
memoir. In "Wishful Drinking," adapted from her one-woman stage
show, Fisher reveals what it was really like to grow up a product
of "Hollywood in-breeding," come of age on the set of a little
movie called Star Wars, and become a cultural icon and bestselling
action figure at the age of nineteen.
Intimate, hilarious, and sobering, "Wishful Drinking" is Fisher,
looking at her life as she best remembers it (what do you expect
after electroshock therapy?). It's an incredible tale: the child of
Hollywood royalty -- Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher --
homewrecked by Elizabeth Taylor, marrying (then divorcing, then
dating) Paul Simon, having her likeness merchandized on everything
from Princess Leia shampoo to PEZ dispensers, learning the father
of her daughter forgot to tell her he was gay, and ultimately
waking up one morning and finding a friend dead beside her in
bed.
"Wishful Drinking," the show, has been a runaway success.
"Entertainment Weekly" declared it "drolly hysterical" and the "Los
Angeles Times" called it a "Beverly Hills yard sale of juicy
anecdotes." This is Carrie Fisher at her best -- revealing her
worst. She tells her true and outrageous story of her bizarre
reality with her inimitable wit, unabashed self-deprecation, and
buoyant, infectious humor.
