Carrie Fisher - The Princess Diarist (A Sort of Memoir) (2nd Hand Paperback)
ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9781784162054
Synopsis
The New York Times Number 1 Best Seller.
This last book from beloved Hollywood icon Carrie Fisher is the crown jewel of ideal Star Wars gifts. The Princess Diarist is an intimate, hilarious, and revealing recollection of what happened behind the scenes on one of the most famous film sets of all time.
When Carrie Fisher 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.
Before her passing, her fame as an author, actress, and pop-culture icon was indisputable, but in 1977, Carrie Fisher was just a teenager with an all-consuming crush on her co-star, 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.
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 candour and introspection of a diary while offering shrewd insight into one of Hollywood's most beloved stars.

'Smart and funny . . . the pages crackle with one-liners' - Guardian.
"An unflinching, sometimes painful, sometimes hilarious look inside the mind of a 19 year old . . . It's invasive, juicy, sad, nostalgic and gripping all at once." - LA Times.
