Of course, Fisher is better known nowadays for divorcing from his first wife, Creator/DebbieReynolds, with whom he had two children, Todd and Creator/CarrieFisher, to marry Reynolds' best friend, Creator/ElizabethTaylor, when Taylor's husband, film producer Mike Todd, was killed in a plane crash. This event brought scandalous and unwelcome publicity for Fisher. Incidentally, Fisher passed away six months before Taylor.

none of the examples are adequate. Invoking only works if it's utilized as part of the music, and that remaining trope doesn't refer to the music either.


* DeletedRole: [[invoked]] He had a role in ''Film/AllAboutEve'' as a stage manager, but it was cut, though he's still credited.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Fisher's ex-wives Creator/DebbieReynolds and Creator/ElizabethTaylor would later reunite in a 2001 MadeForTVMovie, ''These Old Broads'' (co-written by Creator/CarrieFisher), where their characters ridiculed the ex-husband they shared, "Freddie Hunter". "Freddie" = "Eddie", "Hunter" = "Fisher" ... no need to be a rocket scientist to get ''that'' reference.
* WagTheDirector: [[invoked]] Not himself directly, but him having a role in ''[=BUtterfield=] 8'' was the result of his then-wife Creator/ElizabethTaylor doing this, as it was one of several conditions she put on starring in the film, which she throughly hated, being a ContractualObligationProject she only did to finish her contract with Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer.[[note]]Not only did MGM break an (admittedly informal) agreement they had made with Taylor's previous husband Mike Todd before his death of letting her out of her contract, but Taylor was convinced (not without reason, mind you) that her being cast as a prostitute in the film was because the studio was hoping to cash-in the reputation as a "homewrecker" she got following the scandal after Fisher left Creator/DebbieReynolds for her.[[/note]]
