Debbie Reynolds & Carrie Fisher on Oprah


In a beautiful interview on Oprah, Debbie Reynolds and her daughter, Carrie Fisher talk candidly about their past. I'm not that much of a Hollywood buff to know that they are related. Thanks for the enlightenment, Oprah. All I know is that Debbie Reynolds performs in Las Vegas once in a while, Carrie Fisher played the role of Princess Leia (whom I loved so much that I partly named my daughter Leia), and that they are icons in the celebrity industry.

So the story goes that Debbie Reynolds and her then husband were good friends with Elizabeth Taylor & her then husband, Michael Todd. Well, Michael died in a tragic plane accident. This left Taylor widowed. THEN what happened was...Eddie Fisher flew to Elizabeth Taylor's side (and as Carrie Fisher says, "then her front") and had an affair with her. And the story goes. Anyway, hopefully you had a chance to watch the interview.
