Eddie and the Broads,
By Stephanie DePue (Carolina Beach, NC USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Eddie: My Life, My Loves (Hardcover)
Eddie Fisher's singing career peaked in 1953 when he gave the world the million-selling single "Oh, My Papa." His public life peaked in 1981, when he gave the world "Eddie: My Life, My Loves." his autobiography. For anyone who missed the years in between, there was Eddie and Debbie (Reynolds), then Eddie and Debbie and Liz (Taylor), and then Eddie and Liz and Richard (Burton), and then Eddie and Connie (Stevens). And always, Eddie and broads,broads, broads, including, he says, but surely not limited to, Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland, Ann-Margret, and Merle Oberon.
Seems to me Eddie would have been better advised to let somebody else do this recital. Heartfelt is heartfelt, but kiss and tell books should be cheerful. This one, in Eddie's hands, is mawkish, lugubrious California hot tub mush. Was Fisher ever really the poor, hard-edged South Philly kid he claims to have been? He sure goes on, at discouraging length, about hawking veggies, lice, and cardboard in his shoes. And for heaven's sake, if his mother really did call him "Sonny Boy," do we really have to hear her doing it nearly every paragraph? However, Fisher was a poor Jewish kid with a big voice. He made good, struck up acquaintances with a dizzying number of women, got himself addicted first to speed and then to coke, went bankrupt, wrote this book. I hope it at least made him some money. There's really only one last thing to say about it: if you liked "Oh My Papa," you don't want to miss this.

WAY TO GO, EDDIE!!!!,
By mark colin "markie" (tampa bay) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Eddie My Life (Paperback)
Eddie Fisher tells it like it really was in his autobiography. The women in his life are the real phonies and are the ones who really hurt him and his career. Its about time that he told the truth about these women in his life, he is a great guy, a real trouper and a great singer. Too many people are ready to trash him without knowing the truth. Read this book and you will love him for the person he is. I was sad to read that his most current wife and the one he truly loved just recently passed away. A must read book for the Eddie Fisher fan!!
