Video: Carrie Fisher Recalls 'Double Date' With Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Jackson

By AOL TV Editors Posted Mar 24th 2011 08:40AM

Actress and author Carrie Fisher became Elizabeth Taylor's stepdaughter when Taylor married Fisher's father, singer Eddie Fisher. Although Taylor and Eddie Fisher divorced when Carrie was 8, she maintained a close relationship with Taylor, who died Wednesday at age 79.

Reflecting upon her stepmother, Fisher told 'Piers Morgan Tonight' about a "double date" she went on with Taylor, Michael Jackson and Shirley MacLaine.

"No one noticed Shirley and I," Fisher quipped, after laying out one of the few scenarios in which she and MacLaine would be anonymous.

Like many of the luminaries Piers Morgan had on during the hour-long remembrance of Taylor, Fisher mentioned how kind and dedicated Taylor was to her friends and spoke about the empathy the two-time Oscar winner had for all those who were suffering.

I didn't know Shirley McClain and Carrie Fisher were gay.

I would guess that's why double date is in quotes. They aren't.

Carrie finds yet another opportunity to get herself back in the news. Seems just when self-degradation publicity tour replete with confessionals about bi-polar, drugs and debauchery had grown old and Carrie faded further back into obscurity another opportunity presents itself for her to present herself back to the public. If all the step children that became briefly related to ET based upon marriage were gathered together - well let's just say ET was probably related somehow or other to half the population of this country at one time or another.

Oh my god, what has happened to Carrie Fisher?

No one noticed Shirley and I???? What the hell is going on in Hollywood with such bad grammar? She's a writer and should know better. It's "no one noticed Shirley and me".
