"Wishful Drinking" - Carrie Fisher's Upcoming Autobiography

[Rutabaga]

I had no idea that Carrie Fisher had an autobiography coming out next week until I saw a link to this article at The Huffington Post. This Daily Mail article has some excerpts, some of which are stories we've heard before, but it's all pretty amusing. You have to admit that Ms. Fisher definitely has a way with words ;). Anywho, I'm gonna have to take a look at this book, it should be an interesting read.

Remember the white dress I wore all through that film? George came up to me the first day of filming, took one look at the dress and said: 'You can't wear a bra under that dress.'

'OK, I'll bite,' I said. 'Why?' And he said: 'Because ... there's no underwear in space.'

He said it with such conviction. Like he had been to space and looked around and he didn't see any bras or panties anywhere.

He explained. 'You go into space and you become weightless. Then your body expands but your bra doesn't, so you get strangled by your own underwear.'

I think that this would make for a fantastic obituary. I tell my younger friends that no matter how I go, I want it reported that I drowned in moonlight, strangled by my own bra.

Dear Lord. Hilarious!
