Eddie Fisher, whose smooth voice helped him become one of the most popular singers in the nation in the 1950s and who was known for his highly publicized marriages and divorces to some of the most famous Hollywood starlets of the era, has died. He was in his 80s.

Fisher died Wednesday in Berkeley of complications from hip surgery, his daughter, Tricia Leigh Fisher, told the Associated Press.

Between 1950 and 1956, Fisher recorded 25 songs that made the "Top 40," including 19 "Top 10" hits and four that reached No. 1.

Fisher's boyish good looks and natural charisma also helped him land roles on television shows and such feature films as "Butterfield 8," "Nothing Lasts Forever" and "Bundle of Joy."

But it was his failed marriages to Debbie Reynolds, Connie Stevens and Elizabeth Taylor that many remember Fisher for best. He also reportedly was involved with Judy Garland and Ann-Margret.

"All those romances took too much energy,"

Eddie dumped precious Debbie for sexy Liz Taylor who later dumped loser Eddie.

Both these women can't wait to spit on his grave.

I wasn’t named after her-—I was named after a saint.

Ironically- Carrie’s life has been much the same . She married a man who left her with a child and came out as a homosexual. She’s had stability/self-medication issues and has written books and has a ‘tell-all’ live show.
From what I’ve heard, she’s more considerate about the feelings of others and left them out of her ‘tell-all’ if they asked to be-unlike her father’s pain-causing mental purge.
Carrie seems to have her father’s biological weaknesses combined with her mother’s bad taste in men as well as the talent from both.

Uuuhhhh- NO WAY ‘Luke’ came from those loins!
HIS father is a career Navy captain who served his country and raised 7 kids. None of whom have been involved in any scandal.
Give the guy a break-lol- isn’t Vader bad enough?

I was named after a saint.

Why am I not the least surprised? Now, if I had to guess which one I'd say John the Baptist's mother.

Not as saintly as namesake-—not as bad as Taylor.
