Carrie Fisher Book order

Ihr Leben ist turbulenter als eine Daily Soap und tragischer als jeder Hollywood-Film: Als Tochter von Sänger Eddie Fisher und Schauspielerin Debbie Reynolds steht Carrie Fisher schon früh im Rampenlicht Hollywoods. Als sie zwei Jahre alt ist, verlässt ihr Vater die Familie für Elizabeth Taylor. Bereits als Zwölfjährige tritt sie am Broadway auf. Mit 19 spielt sie die Rolle der Prinzessin Leia in der Star Wars-Trilogie und wird über Nacht weltberühmt. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt ist sie bereits schwer alkohol- und drogenabhängig. Mit 24 Jahren wird bei ihr zudem eine manisch-depressive Störung diagnostiziert. Ihr zweiter Ehemann verlässt sie kurz nach der Geburt ihrer gemeinsamen Tochter - für einen Mann. Wahnvorstellungen und Entzugsklinik folgen. Carrie Fisher erzählt unverblümt, sarkastisch und brüllend komisch von ihrer bizarren Kindheit zwischen berühmten Eltern und funkelndem Hollywood-Glamour, Schneckenfrisuren und Drogen, Alkohol und Elektroschock-Therapien.

This last book from beloved Hollywood icon Carrie Fisher is the crown jewel of ideal Star Wars gifts. The Princess Diarist is an intimate, hilarious, and revealing recollection of what happened behind the scenes on one of the most famous film sets of all time. When Carrie Fisher discovered the journals she kept during the filming of the first Star Wars movie, she was astonished to see what they had preserved—plaintive love poems, unbridled musings with youthful naiveté, and a vulnerability that she barely recognized. Before her passing, her fame as an author, actress, and pop-culture icon was indisputable, but in 1977, Carrie Fisher was just a teenager with an all-consuming crush on her costar, Harrison Ford. With these excerpts from her handwritten notebooks, The Princess Diarist is Fisher’s intimate and revealing recollection of what happened on one of the most famous film sets of all time—and what developed behind the scenes. Fisher also ponders the joys and insanity of celebrity, and the absurdity of a life spawned by Hollywood royalty, only to be surpassed by her own outer-space royalty. Laugh-out-loud hilarious and endlessly quotable, The Princess Diarist brims with the candor and introspection of a diary while offering shrewd insight into one of Hollywood's most beloved stars.

Infused with Carrie Fisher's trademark incisive wit and following the success of Wishful Drinking, another rollicking ride into her crazy life

In Wishful Drinking, Carrie Fisher tells the true and intoxicating story of her life with inimitable wit. Born to celebrity parents, she was picked to play a princess in a little movie called Star Wars when only 19 years old. "But it isn't all sweetness and light sabres." Alas, aside from a demanding career and her role as a single mother (not to mention the hyperspace hairdo), Carrie also spends her free time battling addiction and weathering the wild ride of manic depression. It's an incredible tale - from having Elizabeth Taylor as a stepmother, to marrying (and divorcing) Paul Simon, and from having the father of her daughter leave her for a man, to ultimately waking up one morning and finding a friend dead beside her in bed.

While coping with a young daughter, gay ex-husband, and bipolar illness, Hollywood actress Suzanne Vale decides to take a walk on the wild side.
