Description

In this intimate and revealing memoir, Carrie Fisher revisits her handwritten journals from the filming of the original Star Wars, offering readers an unprecedented glimpse into life on one of cinema's most iconic sets. Discovered years later, these candid entries capture the young actress at nineteen—vulnerable, lovestruck, and navigating the surreal experience of sudden stardom alongside her famous costar Harrison Ford. Through a blend of diary excerpts, personal reflection, and her signature wit, Fisher explores the absurdity of Hollywood royalty, the intoxicating chaos of celebrity, and the woman she was before becoming a pop-culture legend. Laugh-out-loud funny and deeply introspective, The Princess Diarist is a masterclass in honesty that reveals the real person behind Princess Leia—someone far more complex, flawed, and endearing than the galaxy's most famous royal.
