Actually I thought he was already............
>From Niki Fink
Reliable sources tell me that Eddie Fisher has died. He was 82. The singer and
entertainer and TV star of his own show and co-star of films Bundle Of Joyand
Butterfield 8 had his heyday in the 1950s. In 1953 Fisher was given his own
15-minute TV show called Coke Time, sponsored by the Coca-Cola company; it was
so popular that Coke then offered Eddie an unprecedented $1 million contract to
be their national spokesperson. But Fisher is best known for having been
married to Debbie Reynolds, Elizabeth Taylor, and Connie Stevens and for
fathering multitalent Carrie Fisher and TV actress Joely Fisher. He created
quite the worldwide scandal when he dumped his first wife, America's sweetheart
Reynolds, to marry his best friend's widow, America's sex symbol Taylor, who
then dumped him for Richard Burton. Fisher became reviled and his career never
recovered. (The two women later mocked Fisher in a thinly veiled TV movie about
their relationship.) Fisher wrote two autobiographies which!
prompted Carrie to declare: "That's it. I'm having my DNA fumigated."=
