Eddie Fisher Has Died
NBC L.A. ^ | 09/23/10

Posted on 09/23/2010 8:40:01 PM PDT by Borges

"Reliable sources tell me that Eddie Fisher has died," according to deadline.com's Nikki Finke.

"He was 82. The singer and entertainer and TV star of his own show and co-star of films Bundle Of Joy and Butterfield 8 had his heyday in the 1950s," the online report noted.

"But Fisher is best known for having been married to Debbie Reynolds, Elizabeth Taylor, and Connie Stevens and for fathering multitalent Carrie Fisher and TV actress Joely Fisher. He created quite the worldwide scandal when he dumped his first wife, America's sweetheart Reynolds, to marry his best friend's widow, America's sex symbol Taylor, who then dumped him for Richard Burton." Finke noted.

From Wiki:

“He wrote another autobiography in 1999 titled Been There, Done That (ISBN 0-312-20972-X). The later book devotes little space to Fisher’s singing career, but recycled the material of his first book and added many new sexual details that were too strong to publish before. His daughter Carrie declared, upon publication: “That’s it. I’m having my DNA fumigated.”

There's me all these year wondering why Liz would have hitched up with a chess Grand Master. Thanks for clearing that up. Generational cognitive dissonance. (I think I got confused with the whole Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio thing.)

It happened while I was in high school. Filled conversations for weeks.

That's the best time to find it. Not much else going on.
