MOVIES - Feb. 3, 1988

Actress Carrie Fisher has filed suit against her former business manager, saying he mishandled $6 million of her money while Fisher was suffering from a dependency on prescription drugs. In the Los Angeles Superior Court suit, filed Monday, Fisher, of “Star Wars” fame, contends she entrusted Maurice Joel Goldstein and his MSI Management Services with $6 million. The suit claims Goldstein, Fisher’s business manager from September, 1978, to April, 1986, made bad investments and used Fisher’s money to make loans to business partners. The suit went on to say the ex-manager took advantage of her “impaired cognitive, psychological and emotional state.” Goldstein was unavailable for comment on Tuesday.
