Carrie Fisher’s mother, Debbie Reynolds, was also a famously known actress. Debbie Reynolds was known for her roles in Halloweentown, Singing in the Rain, and The Catered Affair. Debbie starred in over a hundred films and television shows. On December 28th, the day after the death of her daughter, Carrie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds passed away. According to family, the emotional stress caused by her daughter's death the day before had seriously affected Debbie Reynolds and was the reason for her stroke. Her last words have been noted by many, "I want to be with Carrie.”

Debbie Reynolds recalls her life and how she grew up in an interview, “One of the advantages of having been poor is that you learn to appreciate good fortune and the value of a dollar, and poverty holds no fear for you because you know you've gone through it and you can do it again...But we were always a happy family and a religious one. And I'm trying to inculcate in my children the same sense of values, the same tone that my mother gave to me. When I started, I didn't even know how to dress. I wore dungarees and a shirt. I had no money, no taste and no training."

Both Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds passed away in late December and have been honored through short clips at the Golden Globes, flowers on their Hollywood stars, and many more dedications to come.
