Before making that inference as if she alone knows something, I ask her to remember that I have all of our family’s archives, letters and personal communications for 70 plus years. To say that her mother’s very complicated relationship with her family is known only by her and those who are actually close to her, purposely negates my 60 plus years as Carrie’s only brother who lived those years by her side. The book was very cathartic and truly helped heal as it set the truth straight on many counts. If Billie took the time to read the book, learning about her mother and grandmother’s history could be of great benefit and possibly assist in her healing process. I was not aware of the permissions needed from Billie, who came along 40 years later.
Billie’s father was well aware months in advance of my book, which, was a loving and truthful homage to the incredible lives (not deaths) of Carrie and mom and the 60 plus years I spent with them both. I never capitalized on either Carrie or my mother Debbie’s deaths, and in no way meant to hurt Billie… and that is the truth. Hearing about the event through a press article and from family friends was disturbing and hurtful, particularly since I was the one who initiated the Walk of Fame nomination for my sister a couple years ago. I was told It was a no go and why would I want to heighten level of emotion for his niece, going further to say if I showed up, she would not.Ĭlearly, she could have called us and expressed her issues, even if we did not agree. Keeping the focus on Carrie Fisher, let’s put our differences aside for the hour long ceremony and move on from there. We made every attempt to speak with Billie’s team regarding the invitation prior to making any public comments. Among her works was the best-selling semi-autobiographical novel “Postcards From the Edge” in 1987, and the screenplay for the 1990 film adaptation that starred Shirley MacLaine and Meryl Streep. Fisher was also a prolific novelist and screenwriter. She was the sole beneficiary of her mother’s estate and it’s been reported there were disagreements among family members over her inheritance.įisher’s star will be at 6840 Hollywood Boulevard, near the El Capitan Theatre, per the press release from the the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. Since then, Lourd has been notoriously quiet about her relationship with her aunts and uncle. 27, 2016 her mother, Hollywood legend Debbie Reynolds, died the next day. Carrie Fisher died suddenly at the age of 60 on Dec.
