There was a lot going on between Princess Leia’s hair buns. It’s an eye-opener for fans, but it also shows a gifted writer even at a young age. In her funny and frequently touching new memoir The Princess Diarist, the iconic Star Wars actress and author reveals the diaries she kept as a 19-year-old starring in the blockbuster sci-fi film. Biersdorfer, The New York Times Book ReviewĬharacteristically frank and unflinching, funny and true.The Princess Diarist is about a woman’s relationship with desire-her own, and of others’ for her-writ large, as large as Star Wars. Will now be looking for her other books, she was a great writer!"įisher offers a thoughtful, sardonic meditation on the price of fame, cost-of-living adjustments included. Sought out this book as a kind of comfort and insight into her life, other than her movie performances. "I had no idea how much I loved and admired Carrie Fisher, until she passed away so suddenly. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
