He was a singer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Fisher_(singer)

The most notorious thing he will be remembered for is that, after
having married Reynolds in a whirl of "Aww, aren't they cute,
America's sweethearts" publicity, he then left Reynolds when his
daughter was (IIRC) three, to marry Elizabeth Taylor.  The story
goes that Taylor, whose previous husband Mike Todd had been
killed in a plane crash, went on a deliberate prowl and grabbed
off Fisher -- why Fisher, damn if I know -- and when a columnist
reproved her for it, said "What do you expect me to do, sleep
alone?"

I am old enough to remember when all this was front-page news.
