I've just finished watching Carrie Fisher in her award winning stage show 'Wishful Drinking'. She is probably the Queen of the Un-Normal. How many of us have Elizabeth Taylor for a step-mother? She made me laugh, but she also made me think. This is a lady who has been through a lot and her greatest message to us all is to stop and have a laugh. She does mention that this takes time, a lot of time. Hindsight is 20/20.
I'm a Star Wars nerd and proud of it. My son is called Harrison. (My husband wasn't keen on Chewbacca or Darth!!) I often watch Carrie in those movies in awe. Mainly because she wasn't allowed to wear a bra in A New Hope.... but also because she was so young to be thrown into the limelight (and she gets to kiss Harrison Ford). She has certainly been through the wringer and makes me appreciate my crazy moments! It's certainly worth watching, even if you only watch the bit where she explains 'Celebrity Inbreeding' in Hollywood... Very Clever!
