From the descriptions of the two children spending time with Reynolds’s clothes as they smelt of her when they couldn’t be with her and the times she was around spending as much time as possible in her presence they clearly missed having her in their lives.īy her mid to late teens Carrie had discovered alcohol and drugs, mainly marijuana at this stage and was what would become her life long addictions to both had started. The book is quite open about this time in her life, how they only saw their mother occasionally, her step father even less often and her biological father about once a year. Reynolds married again a couple of years later to a millionaire business man (who later lost all his money along with Reynolds’ due to bad business decisions and gambling) but he was Carrie and her brother Todd’s step father through most of their childhood. Her father left when she was two when he started an affair with Elizabeth Taylor, who was also married at the time. The daughter of film star Debbie Reynolds and singer Eddie Fisher, Carrie grew up in a far from normal household. The copy of the book I have is the 2008 first edition published by Simon and Schuster. This is going to be a roller coaster ride through the highs and lows of her life told with self deprecating humour honed by telling much of the material covered in the book in a hit one woman show which premiered in 2006. The start of Carrie Fisher’s first memoir certainly sets out her stall all too well.
Hi, I’m Carrie Fisher and I’m an alcoholic
