This last book from beloved Hollywood icon Carrie Fisher is the crown jewel of ideal Star Wars
gifts. The Princess Diarist is an intimate hilarious and revealing recollection of what
happened behind the scenes on one of the most famous film sets of all time. 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. Before her passing her fame as an
author actress and pop-culture icon was indisputable but in 1977 Carrie Fisher was just a
teenager with an all-consuming crush on her costar Harrison Ford. 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 one of Hollywood's most beloved
stars.
