Carrie Fisher is the life of the party in this uproarious and sobering look at her Hollywood hangover. The daughter of Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, Carrier Fisher became a cultural icon when she stared as Princess Leiain the first Star Warstrilogy at 19 years olds. Forever changed, Carrie's life did not stay picture perfect. A demanding career and single motherhood followed, as well as her struggle with addiction. It's an incredible tale filled with self-deprecating humor about having Elizabeth Taylor as a step-mother, marrying (and divorcing) Paul Simon, and losing her daughter's father to another man. Fisher tells a true and intoxicating story with the strong wry wit that she poured into bestsellers like Postcard from the Edge. Get "Carried" away with this hilarious insider's look at life in Hollywood.
