Daily Video Clip

If you are an old Star Wars fan like me this video will be a step back in time. Being Christmas is right around the corner, remember a time when you were a kid and all you wanted for Christmas was Star Wars toys. Today's new video clip takes you back to Christmas 1979. It gives me chills to see some of these presents being opened, and what I felt like as a kid when I received something Star Wars. I wish we had a video camera back then. Enjoy!

Wishful Drinking On HBO

Carrie Fisher’s hit stage production of the intoxicating autobiographical tale of her life, comes to HBO as a feature-length documentary. Debuting SUNDAY, DEC. 12 (9:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT), the special combines archival footage with her one-woman stage performance, which was taped in June before a live audience.

In WISHFUL DRINKING, Fisher details her complicated yet eclectic extended family tree in Hollywood Inbreeding 101, employing a blackboard and wooden pointer. Her father Eddie Fisher’s very public affair with Elizabeth Taylor ended what had been perceived and celebrated as a “storybook marriage,” and she and her brother Todd later watched both her mother’s and father’s “once white-hot bright star of celebrity slowly dim, cool and fade.” In 1973, at her mother’s urging, the 17-year-old Fisher enrolled at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London; two years later, her life changed forever when she donned a white dress as Princess Leia in George Lucas’ “Star Wars.”

The film debuts on SUNDAY, DECEMBER 12 (9:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO.
