HBO moves up premiere of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds documentary to Jan. 7
Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds will be making us laugh agains sooner than we thought.
Following the tragic deaths of the two Hollywood icons, HBO has moved up the premiere of Bright Lights, a documentary about the mother and daughter. It will now air Jan. 7 at 8 p.m. EST.
The film, directed by Alexis Bloom and Fisher Stevens, follows the work and home lives of the eccentric mother-daughter duo, who were next door neighbors in Beverly Hills. It also features the family's home movies from generations in the public eye.
HBO will also air Fisher's one woman show, Wishful Drinking, on Sunday January at 9 p.m. EST. The special is currently available on HBO Go.
Fisher and Reynold's occasionally tumultuous relationship was previously depicted on the silver screen in Postcards From the Edge, the movie based on Fisher's loosely autobiographical novel of the same name.
