  • The princess diarist

    Creator

    Fisher, Carrie

    Abstract

    This final book from beloved Hollywood icon Carrie Fisher is a must-have for Star Wars fans. 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 Fisher rediscovered the journals she kept during the filming of the first Star Wars movie, she was astonished by what they preserved—plaintive love poems, unfiltered musings, and a youthful vulnerability she barely recognized. In 1977, Fisher was just a teenager with an all-consuming crush on her costar, Harrison Ford.
