The PRINCESS DIARIST IS CARRIE FISHER’s intimate, hilarious and
revealing recollection of what happened behind the scenes on one of
the most famous film sets of all time, the first Star Wars movie.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. Today, her
fame as an author, actress, and pop-culture icon is indisputable, but
in 1977, Carrie Fisher was just a (sort-of) regular teenager.
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 candor and introspection of a diary while offering
shrewd insight into the type of stardom that few will ever experience.
