Carrie Fisher: A Life on the Edge by Sheila Weller
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 378 MB
Overview: A remarkably candid biography of the remarkably candid – and brilliant – Carrie Fisher
In her 2008 best seller, Girls Like Us, Sheila Weller – with heart and a profound feeling for the times – gave us a surprisingly intimate portrait of three icons: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon. Now, she turns her focus to one of the most loved, brilliant, and iconoclastic women of our time: the actress, writer, daughter, and mother Carrie Fisher.
Weller traces Fisher’s life from her Hollywood royalty roots to her untimely and shattering death after Christmas 2016. Her mother was the spunky and adorable Debbie Reynolds; her father, the heartthrob crooner Eddie Fisher. When Eddie ran off with Elizabeth Taylor, the scandal thrust little Carrie Frances into a bizarre spotlight, gifting her with an irony and an aplomb that would resonate throughout her life.
We follow Fisher’s acting career, from her debut in Shampoo, the hit movie that defined mid-1970s Hollywood, to her seizing of the plum female role in Star Wars, which catapulted her to instant fame. We explore her long, complex relationship with Paul Simon and her relatively peaceful years with the talent agent Bryan Lourd. We witness her startling leap – on the heels of a near-fatal overdose – from actress to highly praised, best-selling author, the Dorothy Parker of her place and time.
