“I meet and marry this man right here. This is Paul Simon. Paul Simon is a short Jewish singer. Eddie Fisher is a short Jewish singer. Short. Jewish. Singer. Any questions? My mother makes a blueprint and I follow it to the letter.”

Wishful Drinking (2010)

Andy Warhol commented on this interesting little factoid in his diaries. He wrote about seeing Eddie Fisher come into a New York nightclub circa 1984: “I can understand why Carrie Fisher married the Simon guy because he’s like Eddie without the curls.”

Happy Valentine’s Day!

You take two bodies and you twirl them into one
Their hearts and their bones
And they won’t come undone

More from “My Mother was Nuts”:

It was fall 1980, and I had flown into New York to see Paul Simon perform at the Palladium. I arrived in the grip of a deep depression…

…Luckily, my friends were sympathetic. Paul suffered from bouts of darkness, and Carrie had a whole wardrobe of mood swings hanging in her closet. Before the show, Paul said, “Why don’t you come onstage and sing at the end when I play ‘Amazing Grace’?”

“No thanks,” I said. “I’m not a singer.”

“Penny, we’ll have a large gospel choir backing you up — as well as Mayor Koch,” he said. “No one will hear you.”

“They won’t know who I am,” I said, sounding depressed.

“What are you, nuts?” he said. “Come on out and see what it feels like,” he said.

After turning in an amazing two-hour-plus show, Paul got to “Amazing Grace” and motioned to me on the side. Reluctantly, I walked out and stood next to him, and I will forever be glad I did. As we sang, the cheering from the audience was like a gust of wind that blew away some of my depression.

Penny Marshall talks about meeting Carrie

Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:10:00 -0800

From her autobiography, “My Mother Was Nuts”:

Back in New York, Lorne (Michaels) arranged for me to meet Carrie Fisher at her place in the Eldorado on Central Park West. He was pals with singer-songwriter Paul Simon, who was dating Carrie, and they thought we’d hit it off. They were right. We’ve been best friends ever since. She and Paul were heading to St. Hip, her name for some island in the Caribbean. I helped her pack and listened to her bitch about whether she was able to keep up with Paul.

A high school dropout, she thought everyone was smarter than she was, especially Paul. In reality, she was smarter than everyone. She was brilliant. Everyone knew it. Steven (Spielberg), Lorne, and if you asked him at the right moment, Paul would’ve agreed too. Carrie read voraciously. She was funny and clever. She wrote and provided nonstop, hysterical commentary on people, movies, books, and Hollywood, where she grew up the daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher. She was a one-woman show thirty-five years before she did one.

You love them and they know.

Carrie likes guys wearing baseball caps.

The first pic was taken in 1979, for an interview Carrie and Harrison gave before going off to film “The Empire Strikes Back.” The second was taken in 1980; Paul was Carrie’s date to the premiere of the same movie.

I’m biased, but I think the second pic is cuter.

Cute pic! Of course, in their actual scene together in the movie, Carrie was wearing clothes instead of the bikini, and Warwick was in an Ewok costume. Warwick later spoke fondly of Carrie, saying she brought him juice and cookies between takes.
