The firecracker of the Star Wars set, Fisher (daughter of Debbie
Reynolds and Eddie Fisher) descended into drug hell, clawed her way
back and used her "lost weekend" to become a successful
author and media personality with Postcards From The Edge. She pretty

full of beans and determined, she is also witty and talented.
Subsequent second coming as an actress in When Harry Met Sally, Drop
Dead Fred (ahem), but chose to occupy her position as herself in the
zeitgeist.
