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.

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?
The dumper became the dumpee....which is often the case.
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.
I see. Like Doris Day!
