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.)

Oh no! He was older than my generation, but I read his two books this year. He was a singing phenom at his prime.....better than anyone..Sinatra, etc. In fact, Sinatra said Eddie Fisher was one of the few he had ever heard with perfect pitch.

He became addicted to “shots” given by Dr. Feel Good. That and his total and complete addiction to Elizabeth Taylor did him in. He said that all of the love songs he ever sang meant nothing until he fell in love with her. Then he knew what the songs meant.

Rip Eddie Fisher......you had quite a life.

Fisher is best known for having been married to Debbie Reynolds, Elizabeth Taylor, and Connie Stevens...

In a rather eerie coincidence, I happen to be reading An Empire of their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood by Neal Gabler (onetime Fox News panel member).

I took a break just as I turned the page to the picture of Rabbi Max Nussbaum with Elizabeth Taylor and husband Eddie Fisher. I then came here to FR to see what was happening in the world and saw this.

RIP (from one old enough to vividly remember Eddie as opposed to his daughter).

Personal Quotes
Debbie Reynolds was indeed the girl next door. But only if you lived next door to a self-centered, totally driven, insecure, untruthful phony.

By the time I was thirty-three years old I’d been married to America’s sweetheart and America’s femme fatale and both marriages had ended in scandal; I’d been one of the most popular singers in America and had given up my career for love; I had fathered two children and adopted two children and rarely saw any of them; I was addicted to methamphetamines and I couldn’t sleep at night without a huge dose of Librium. And from all this I had learned one very important lesson: There were no rules for me. I could get away with anything so long as that sound came out of my throat.
