The talented actress, best known for her role in American Horror Story, has been through an unimaginable journey over the past few years. In a heartfelt interview with her co-star Sarah Paulson for Town & Country, she shared how she's navigating life after the tragic loss of her mom, Carrie Fisher, and her grandmother, Debbie Reynolds—two iconic women who were taken from her just a day apart. Billie spoke candidly about stepping out of their shadows and finding her own voice in the world.

That’s a lot of pressure, though, because she left behind such an incredible legacy. Now, it’s my responsibility to carry that forward and make it my own.”

Walking in Her Mother’s Shoes: Billie’s Journey to Acting

Walking in the footsteps of a legend like Carrie Fisher can be daunting, but Billie didn’t shy away from it. In fact, she credits her mom for encouraging her to pursue acting. “My mom would pull me aside on set and say, ‘It’s weird that you’re so comfortable here. Acting is one of the most uncomfortable environments in the world. If you’re comfortable here, you should do this,’” Billie recalled. It’s a testament to Carrie’s wisdom and insight that she recognized her daughter’s natural talent and nudged her in the right direction.

And guess what? Fans of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, you’re in for a treat. Soon, you’ll have the chance to own some of their personal belongings—a treasure trove of memories from two incredible women.

Grieving the Unthinkable: Finding Strength in Humor

After losing her mom to sleep apnea and her grandma to a stroke within 24 hours, Billie faced the unimaginable. But she found strength in something uniquely Carrie Fisher: humor. “If life’s not funny, then it’s just true—and that would be unacceptable,” she said. Billie even imagined her grandma’s reaction to the situation, saying, “Of course, she had to upstage my mom, even in death.” That kind of wit and resilience is a true testament to the legacy of both Carrie and Debbie.
