Carrie Fisher's finest work

This is a full version of her HBO special based on the one woman show "Wishful Drinking." Very funny monologue about what growing up celebrity was like.

It's worth watching just for the blackboard section on whether her daughter is related to another celebrity child.

Carrie Fisher was awe-inspiring. You didn't want her to stop talking.

BTW, if I remember, her stage exit was on an ambulance stretcher. Sigh . . . .

but what I see here in hindsight is how frail her health must have been.

It can't have helped that they made her drop a bunch of weight in a hurry to play grandma Leia.
