WISHFUL DRINKING
Product Description
Carrie Fisher stars in Wishful Drinking, a filmed adaptation of her acclaimed one-woman stage production. In this uproarious and often poignant performance, Fisher recalls the challenges she has faced in her very public life- tragic relationships, drug and alcohol addiction, stints in rehab, bipolar disorder and electroshock therapy. Despite growing up around movie stars and experiencing early fame of her own, having been cast as Princess Leia in Star Wars at age 19, Fisher’s life was hardly enviable. Wishful Drinking reveals the not-so-glamorous side of being a celebrity, combining wry wit to humanize Fisher’s topsy-turvy life, while de-stigmatizing the struggle of those living with mental illness.
