Carrie Fisher
Broadway’s “Wishful Drinking” stars Carrie Fisher as Carrie Fisher. Like memoir of the same name, the one-woman show blurs the line between person and performer for the movie star, as she draws from the most painful periods in her life for comic material. She tells Kurt that her public life started even before “Star Wars.”
