When Carrie Fisher recently discovered the journals she kept during the filming of the first movie, she was astonished to see what they had preserved-plaintive love poems, unbridled musings with youthful naivetÃ, and a vulnerability that she barely recognized.

Today, her fame as an author, actress, and pop-culture icon is indisputable, but in 1977, Carrie Fisher was just a (sort-of) regular teenager. With these excerpts from her handwritten notebooks, is Fisher-s intimate and revealing recollection of what happened on one of the most famous film sets of all time-and what developed behind the scenes. And today, as she reprises her most iconic role for the latest trilogy, Fisher also ponders the joys and insanity of celebrity, and the absurdity of a life spawned by Hollywood royalty, only to be surpassed by her own outer-space royalty.

Laugh-out-loud hilarious and endlessly quotable, brims with the candour and introspection of a diary while offering shrewd insight into the type of stardom that few will ever experience.
