Finally, after four struck novels, Carrie Fisher comes clean (well, sort of ) with the crazy fact that is her life in her first-ever memoir.
In Wishful Drinking, designed from her one-woman level show, Fisher shows what it really was like to increase up something of "Hollywood in-breeding," come of age on the set of a little movie called Legend Wars, and be a ethnic icon and bestselling action physique at age nineteen.
Personal, amusing, and sobering, Wishful Drinking is Fisher, considering her life as she best remembers it (what do you expect after electroshock remedy?). It's an unbelievable tale: the kid of Hollywood royalty -- Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher -- homewrecked by Elizabeth Taylor, marrying (then divorcing, then seeing) Paul Simon, having her likeness merchandized on everything from Princess Leia shampoo to PEZ dispensers, learning the father of her little girl forgot to see her he was gay, and eventually waking up one day and finding a friend deceased beside her during intercourse.
Wishful Drinking, the show, has been a runaway success. Entertainment Weekly announced it "drolly hysterical" and the Los Angeles Times called it a "Beverly Hills garden sale of juicy anecdotes." This is Carrie Fisher at her best -- revealing her most detrimental. She explains to her true and outrageous storyline of her bizarre fact with her inimitable wit, unabashed self-deprecation, and buoyant, infectious humor.
