Title: My Girls Pdf A Lifetime with Carrie and Debbie
A revelatory and touching tribute to the lives of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds written by the person who knew them best, Todd Fisher’s poignant memoir is filled with moving stories of growing up among Hollywood royalty and illustrated with never-before-seen photos and memorabilia.
In December 2016, the world was shaken by the sudden deaths of Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds, two unspeakable losses that occurred in less than twenty-four hours. The stunned public turned for solace to Debbie’s only remaining child, Todd Fisher, who somehow retained his grace and composure under the glare of the media spotlight as he struggled with his own overwhelming grief.
The son of "America’s Sweethearts" Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, Todd grew up amid the glamorous wealth and pretense of Hollywood. Thanks to his funny, loving, no-nonsense mother, Todd remained down to earth, his own man, but always close to his cherished mom, and to his sister through her meteoric rise to stardom and her struggle with demons that never diminished her humor, talent, or spirit.
Now, Todd shares his heart and his memories of Debbie and Carrie with deeply personal stories from his earliest years to those last unfathomable days. His book, part memoir, part homage, celebrates their legacies through a more intimate, poignant, and often hilarious portrait of these two remarkable women than has ever been revealed before.
With thirty-two pages of never-before-seen photos and memorabilia from his family’s private archives, Todd’s book is a love letter to a sister and a mother, and a gift to countless fans who are mourning the deaths of these two unforgettable stars.
I laugh and I cried I laughed and I cried. Todd Fisher did a great job allowing us to view "his girls" objectively. I have always admired Debbie Reynolds the most and I took away what a fighter and a great spirit she had. She was provider, protector and sole bread winner most of her life for her children (and many others) and she never backed down...even to punching a few times. I do see her as a tad too permissive with the kids; ie Todd brings home a tank (a real one) and prays (literally on his knees by his bed), she will let him keep it. His mother witnesses this earnest prayer in the doorway and says "Really? You're praying for a tank"?? I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. (He got to keep the tank). A few times I may have agreed with grandma Reynolds of thinking her daughter lost her compass. But Debbie was under a lot of pressure and stress with teenage children to support and she was flat broke. Tough time for her and feeling a failure between the broken marriages and their impact on her and her kids. Todd gave a more tender insight into Harry Karl, DBs second husband. Basically a loving good guy but had addictions that destroyed everyone around him including himself. His description of Mr. Karl taking Todd with him to father/son batting practice was classic funny. I take it he was an "indoor" kinda guy. Also nothing good again about Eddie Fisher their father. He seems to be self centered and selfish and only interjects himself if there is something in it for him. Carrie is still a contradiction as well. Todd said she could be the sweetest, most kind and generous person and on the turn of a dime turn on Todd and say vicious cruel things and be thoughtless. She took advantage of her mother and mom didn't tell her "no" way beforeshe should have. But Todd is the hero of their lives and the best man they ever had. He was there for his mother all the time and for Carrie as well. He was the anchor with the great heart I believe he got from his mother. Thank you for sharing this with us Todd. You're tops in my book.warm tribute to Mother and Sister Todd -you did your mother and sister proud! I am sure your mother would want her fans to know just how proud she was of you and how strong she had to be so many times in her life. And how close you and Carrie were growing up-- yet how different she was from both of you. I loved your style of writing and found the book hard to put down. I commend your warm tribute to both these women who you were privileged to grow up withMust Read Book for any Carrie Fisher / Debbie Reynolds Fan! Just started reading Todd's book and it's one of the best biographies I've read. The flow is great, feels like we are sitting one and one and having a conversation. It's a very intimate portrait of a life lived with two amazing, legendary women. I appreciate his candor, and Todd sharing his perspective with us, even allowing us a more in-depth glimpse into their lives by granting access to his personal archives of photos and videos (available on his website). You can tell he is a very genuine, caring person who was trusted implicitly by his mother and sister. What an incredible, unique life this family lived. I can't imagine the devastating loss and tremendous void left with their deaths so close together. I highly recommend this book.
