Carrie Fisher Reveals Her "Dark Side"

Actress Carrie Fisher reveals in her new book 'Wishful Drinking' that life as Debbie Reynolds' daughter was anything but ordinary. Fisher, most known as her role as Princess Leia in the 'Star Wars' trilogy, reveals the dirty details of her life including her mother's suggestion that Fisher have a baby with her stepfather.

The book is based off her one-woman, autobiographical show. Fisher, 52, takes readers into her life, exposing the truth about her drug addiction, her bipolar disorder and all her failed relationships.

Fisher reveals she sought help for her depression, but didn't trust any of the doctors' suggested treatments. Finally, at age 28, she was diagnosed with manic depression after overdosing on pills.

The root of her book though is about the constant competition for her mother's attention, which it seems she still hasn't found.

"My parents had this incredibly vital relationship with an audience, like with muscle and blood. This was the main competition I had for my parents' attention, an audience. People like you. You know who you are," she writes. "Even this book is a pathetic bid for the attention I lacked as a newborn."

Recalling her younger days, Fisher talks about having to deal with her mother's fame. "It was complicated to go out in public with my mother because she was very famous. She belonged to the world... It was like being in a parade. In a way, my mother was an event... So it was not like having private time with Mom. And I really didn't like sharing her. It seemed almost unsanitary," she writes.
