Entertainer Eddie Fisher, whose singing career was overshadowed by scandals of his marriages to Debbie Reynolds and Elizabeth Taylor, has died. He was 82.
His daughter, Tricia Leigh Fisher, told The Associated Press that Fisher died Wednesday night at his home in Berkeley of complications from hip surgery.
Fisher sold millions of records in the 1950s with hit songs including "Thinking of You," ''Any Time" and "Oh, My Pa-pa."
His singing and good looks brought him a devoted following with teenage girls.
And maybe we should mention here for the UMA audience that he was the father of STAR WARS' Princess Leia, Carrie Fisher. I was a kid when it happened, but I remember when Fisher left wife Debbie Reynolds and married Liz Taylor. It sure was a big news at the time!
