Ep. 33 Joely Fisher is Hollywood Royalty!
Joely Fisher is an actor, writer, singer, director, storyteller, author, mother, activist and charity maven! She is Hollywood royalty and has rightfully taken her own place amongst them with her incredible tour de force talent.
In this episode of Ask Jillian we talk about Joely’s legendary family, show business is in her DNA and the spotlight was her destiny. The gorgeous and iconic Connie Stevens is Joely’s mother. She is an ongoing unstoppable inspiration. Connie would take Joely and her little sister Tricia on the road with her, where Joely learned the ropes early and couldn’t wait for her turn. The timeless crooner Eddie Fisher was her father. He was so proud of Joely’s Broadway debut in Grease and was her biggest fan. Her unforgettable older half-sister Carrie Fisher aka Princess Leia blazed an amazing path as an actress and writer in Hollywood. They always supported each other through thick and thin. Joely wrote an incredible book Growing up Fisher, chronicling her family history. It’s a fantastic read! Also, who can forget Joely's groundbreaking role in the sitcom Ellen and that “kiss” episode!
Joely has led a truly fascinating life and with a burgeoning second act, as all the ladies of her family do, I can't wait to see where it goes!
