![]() ![]() One of my other favorite guests on VH1 was Carrie's famous mother, Debbie Reynolds. I didn't always discover a solution to my problems but they sure made my problems seem funny when I recognized similar quirks in her characters. Occasionally, back then in the late 80s and early 90s, I felt like I needed therapy. She was like a former high school classmate to me. I felt like I had known Suzanne Vale for years. That book truly did make me laugh out loud. Carrie was promoting her first novel, Postcards from the Edge. ![]() I was off the ground for a second or two, lifted by Princess Leia, and someone snapped a Polaroid of that moment. Before I could finish saying, "No way!," she'd already done it. Carrie, after we'd finished our taping, claimed she could pick me up. She was one of my wonderful guests when I just started hosting talk shows on VH1 in the late 1980s. Carrie picked me up once in New York City. ![]() The screenplay was written by another actress - Carrie Fisher. Not since Lana Turner's Georgia Lorrison in Vincente Minnelli's 1952 classic, The Bad and the Beautiful, has Hollywood offspring displayed such fabulous female co-dependent behavior. Mike Nichols directed Streep to another Best Actress Oscar nomination. She's the middle-aged actress fresh out of detox who's still treated like a child by her aging former queen-of-movie musicals mother. This 1990 comedy is one of my favorite Hollywood-on-Hollywood films with one of my favorite Meryl Streep performances. ![]()
