C: Is for Carrie

The 2010 Grammy Nominations were announced. As I reported earlier Carrie Fisher new show Wishful Drinking is an outstanding look at a Hollywood life gone array. Carrie received a nomination in the Best Spoken Word Album category for her bestselling memoir version of Wishful Drinking .

In Wishful Drinking, Carrie Fisher recounts the true and intoxicating tale of her life as a Hollywood legend, told with the same wry wit she poured into bestsellers like Postcards from the Edge. The daughter of Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, Carrie Fisher became a cultural icon when she starred as “Princess Leia” in the first Star Wars trilogy at 19 years old. Forever changed, Carrie’s
life did not stay picture perfect. Fisher is the life of the party in this uproarious and sobering look at her Hollywood hangover.

Wishful Drinking has been extended on Broadway through January 17th, 2010. This is one entertaining night of theatre.
