Billie Lourd honors her late mother, Carrie Fisher, on what would have been her 68th birthday. Fisher, known for her role as Princess Leia in Star Wars, passed away at the age of 60 from a sudden cardiac arrest, with traces of drugs in her system. Lourd remembers her mother’s struggles with addiction and the impact it had on her family. She recently spoke about how a new movie role helped her feel closer to Fisher and her grandmother, Debbie Reynolds, who passed away one day after Fisher. Lourd’s performance in The Last Showgirl allowed her to understand her mother on a deeper level. The movie tells the story of a Las Vegas entertainer coming to terms with the closure of her show after 30 years. Lourd plays the character’s daughter in the film. The actress shared her experience with grief and addiction, offering support to others dealing with similar struggles. She emphasized the importance of being open about addiction and reaching out for help. Lourd’s tribute to her mother on her birthday serves as a reminder of Fisher’s legacy and the impact she had on those around her. If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, there are resources available such as the SAMHSA National Helpline.
