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.
An amazingly touching, funny and wonderful tribute to Todd’s “girls”. This is a MUST HAVE for all fans of Debbie or Carrie! Todd writes so lovingly of both his mother and sister. You can tell he cared for them deeply—and he is such a good story teller and writer. I could not put this book down! I read it in less than 9 hours. A terrific read, and very touching. You definitely won’t regret buying this book. I was so excited to get it, and had high expectations and it did not disappoint. Thank you to Todd for sharing “his girls” with us one last time....A Loving Tribute One definition of insanity, quoted in Todd Fisher's book, is "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." And as we read along, that quote is brought to life by the never-ending Sisyphean efforts on the part of Todd and his mother to find a home for her expansive collection of costumes and scenery scavenged from the ashes of MGM. Debbie and Todd keep pushing that rock up the hill and, just when they're about to make it to the top and realize their noble quest, something happens and the rock, loosened from their grasp, tumbles back down that Hollywood hill, plunging them both into temporary despair. "Temporary," because we are reminded that the word "can't is a verb not in their vocabulary, and we find ourselves saddened at each failed attempt to find a home for Debbie's now-disintegrating MGM collection. Everyone from George Lucas to Warren Buffet tells them to sell, sell, sell, but this is also a verb not in Debbie's vocabulary. They press on, putting themselves into debt to the tune of millions of dollars in the process. This scenario happens again and again until finally the reader begins to anticipate the next catastrophe. Todd does everything he can to help his mother recognize her dream of a Hollywood museum. He admires his mother's single-minded pursuit of a home for the entire collection, and understands her desire for it not to be dispersed piece-meal to the four winds. Had they been able to concentrate on this one thing, perhaps it might have turned out better for them. But throughout the book, Debbie is consistently sidelined by husbands stealing her money while Todd is called off on a regular basis to save his beloved sister, Carrie Fisher, from destroying herself as she deals with the ramifications of her bipolar disorder. Todd's portrayal of "his girls" is filled with love, compassion and understanding. They could not have asked for a better guardian. He works as hard as he can to hold both of them together, at times sacrificing his own personal life to do so. This was a thoroughly readable, at times riveting, book and I couldn't get through it fast enough. Todd, who looks like his father before Eddie turned "Asian," is also, thankfully, his polar opposite when it comes to familial responsibility. The love for his girls is so admirable that when things work out in the end the reader breathes a big sigh of relief. Well done, Todd.Must 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.
