There are no stunt doubles in a one woman show. No time to tan.

Broadway's "Wishful Drinking" stars Carrie Fisher as Carrie Fisher. Like her memoir of the same name, the one-woman show blurs the line between person and performer for the star, as she draws comic material from the most painful periods of a life that was very public even before "Star Wars."
