Eddie Fisher
Edwin “Eddie” Fisher August 10, 1928 – September 22, 2010, age 82, complications from hip surgery
Singer/Actor Eddie Fisher was as well-known for his marriages as his career. He was a teen crush for many ’50′s teeny boppers and starlets, as well. He married Debbie Reynolds in 1955. They had two children, Carrie and Todd Fisher (Carrie is well-known for her role as Princess Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy.). In 1959, he divorced Debbie Reynolds amid a major Hollywood scandal. On March 28, 1958, his best friend, Mike Todd, died in a plane crash. What started out as an attempt to comfort his friend’s widow turned into a torrid affair. The same year his divorce finalized, Eddie Fisher married Elizabeth Taylor. Their marriage produced no children and they divorced in 1964. In 1967, he married actress/singer Connie Stevens and had two daughters, Joley and Tricia Leigh Fisher, both actresses. The marriage ended in 1969. He was married to Terry Richard from 1975 to 1976. He was married to Betty Lin from 1993 until her death in 2001.
