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.
A thoroughly original and intimate memoir by the bestselling author of Postcards from the Edge and Wishful Drinking.
Fisher beautifully brings readers the inside of Hollywood through a web of humor, drugs, relationships, Hollywood Party Terror, and much more. The plot centers on a 30-year-old actress named Suzanne Vale, and follows her challenges as she overcomes her drug addiction, gets back into the swing of things, and falls in love, sort of.
The bestselling author of Postcards from the Edge travels into the wilds of modern maternity, capturing its absurdity and ambivalence.
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.
