Joely Fisher | Connie Stevens & Eddie Fisher’s Daughter

Joely Fisher thought she was destined for a career in show business growing up in a famous Hollywood family. Instead, she struggled with her own identity and position in the world as the daughter of world-famous crooner Eddie Fisher and Connie Stevens on her path to a decade-long career as an acclaimed actor, singer, and director.

In Growing Up Fisher, Joely’s book chronicles her unorthodox adolescence and stories about the family members and co-stars that mean the most to her. Throughout, she credits the rarity of a two-decade marriage in the entertainment industry, and the ups and downs of raising five of her children, while dishing on what it takes to survive and thrive in the unforgiving spotlight of notoriety. In addition, she discusses how the unexpected passing of her sister Carrie Fisher became a source of artistic inspiration for her book.
