Eddie Fisher was a teen idol in the years before rock and rock and had 17 songs on the Top Ten pop music charts between 1950 and 1956. He married America's movie sweetheart Debbie Reynolds in 1955. Two years before he became Carrie Fisher's real-life papa, the popular crooner and ladies man had a major hit with the song, "Oh, My Papa," which even after all these years still has the power to choke one up. Listen to it on Father's Day to understand what I mean.

Fisher also had a son, Todd, with Reynolds whom he left in 1959 to marry Elizabeth Taylor following the death of Taylor's husband, movie producer Mike Todd. His marriage to Taylor lasted from '59 to '64.

Fisher fathered two more children, Joely Fisher andTricia Leigh Fisher with his third wife, actress Connie ("77 Sunset Strip") Stevens . He later married and divorced 5th wife, Terry Richard. His fifth marriage, to Betty Lin lasted until her death in 2001. Fisher died in 2010 due to complications from hip surgery.
