If you grew up watching Princess Leia in the “Star Wars” films, Carrie Fisher’s “Wishful Drinking” will show you a different side of the actress who will forever be known for a futuristic hairdo that featured buns of hair on either side of her head. The HBO presentation (9 p.m. Sunday) takes Fisher’s one-woman Broadway and touring show, based on her book of the same title, and stages it for television. Fisher appears on stage in front of an audience, telling the story of her life, which includes her family, addiction, electroshock therapy and some bizarre episodes that are both devastating and, in Fisher’s telling of them, hilarious.
