The princess diarist

Fisher, Carrie
Genre: 
When Carrie Fisher recently discovered the journals she kept during the filming of the first Star Wars movie she was astonished to see what they had preserved—plaintive love poems unbridled musings with youthful naiveté and a vulnerability that she barely recognized. Today her fame as an author actress and pop-culture icon is indisputable but in 1977 Carrie Fisher was just a teenager with an all-consuming crush on her costar Harrison Ford. With these excerpts from her handwritten notebooks "The Princess Diarist" is Fisher’s intimate and revealing recollection of what happened on one of the most famous film sets of all time—and what developed behind the scenes. And today as she reprises her most iconic role for the latest Star Wars trilogy Fisher also ponders the joys and insanity of celebrity and the absurdity of a life spawned by Hollywood royalty only to be surpassed by her own outer-space royalty. Laugh-out-loud hilarious and endlessly quotable "The Princess Diarist" brims with the candor and introspection of a diary while offering shrewd insight into the type of stardom that few will ever experience.
