Carrie Fisher, the daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, became an icon when she starred as Princess Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy. Her star-studded career includes roles in numerous films such as The Blues Brothers and When Harry Met Sally.

She is the author of five bestselling novels:

• Wishful Drinking
• Surrender the Pink
• Delusions of Grandma
• The Best Awful
• Postcards from the Edge, which was made into a hit film starring Shirley MacLaine and Meryl Streep.

Fisher’s experience with addiction and mental illness—and her willingness to speak honestly about them—have made her a sought-after speaker and respected advocate.
