Wishful Drinking, a memoir by actress Carrie Fisher, has been turned into a one-woman Broadway show. It will begin its run Oct. 4 at Roundabout Theater Company's Studio 54 theater and end Jan. 3, according to the New York Times.

In Wishful Drinking, Fisher talks about her life as the "daughter of Hollywood inbreeding." Her parents are actors Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. The show chronicles her parents' divorce, her own relationships, her acting career and her struggles with bipolar disorder and alcoholism, Broadway.com reported.

Fisher is most known for playing Princess Leia in the iconic "Star Wars" movies. She's also been in The Blues Brothers, When Harry Met Sally, and The Women, as well as television shows such as Frasier, Weeds, and Family Guy.
