24 May
Summary
- Reynolds introduced herself on set as 'Princess Leia's Mom'.

- Carrie Fisher, her daughter, tragically died one day before Reynolds in 2016.
Debbie Reynolds possessed a unique flair for introductions, famously presenting herself on movie sets as "Princess Leia's mom." This memorable self-introduction highlights her pride in her daughter, Carrie Fisher, the iconic Star Wars actress.
Reynolds achieved significant stardom in the 1950s with notable roles in films such as "Singin' in the Rain" (1952). She welcomed her daughter Carrie in 1956 with then-husband Eddie Fisher.
Carrie Fisher followed in her mother's footsteps, launching her acting career as a teenager before becoming globally recognized for her role as Princess Leia. The mother-daughter duo, along with Carrie's daughter Billie Lourd, shared a strong family bond, with Lourd believing acting and comedy skills are hereditary.
Tragically, Carrie Fisher passed away on December 27, 2016. Debbie Reynolds died just one day later, on December 28, 2016, from a stroke at the age of 84.
