Debbie Reynolds & Carrie Fisher

Carrie Fisher was known for her wit and sense of humor – these are traits she got from her mother, Debbie Reynolds. In 1973, Reynolds starred in a Broadway revival of the musical Irene and was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Lead Actress in a Musical. The iconic Star Wars actress used these things to her advantage, especially when she started making an investment in book writing.

Of course, these were not the only things that Carrie got from her mom. Debbie passed on her magnificent beauty to her daughter, not to mention her incredible talents, paving the way for Carrie to polish her star in Hollywood. Who would ever forget when Carrie stunned everyone with her perfect physique, wearing the iconic gold outfit in the 1983 Star Wars: Return of the Jedi? It remained to be fresh in the minds of many, even after 37 years.
