Carrie Fisher

We went to see Carrie Fisher at the Berkeley Rep last Saturday. What a treat! I had no idea she has led such a crazy life.... check out her bio .

The show was well presented and they did a great job of making you feel like you were a guest at Carrie's home listening to her tell her story. The stage was made up like her living room and Carrie dressed in lounge type attire strutted the stage chain smoking clove cigarettes and drinking diet coke. It was an entertaining aut0biography of Carrie's life. It is really quite amazing how sane and positive minded she is in light of all of the tumultuous and destructive events of her life.

At the end of the show, Carrie threw out a few quotes to leave us with. My favorite was: "resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die". Good stuff.
