Billie Lourd Says Mother Carrie Fisher & Grandmother Debbie Reynolds Helped Her with Her Comedic Skills

Billie Lourd says her comedic family helped her with her acting skills.

“They were better at it than me. I can do a fair bit of tap dancing, not as good as young Debbie Reynolds, but that’s also in the genes, although my mom kind of sucked at tap dancing,” she joked.

However, Billie still has her own sense of identity.

“I’m a very distinct personality, definitely different from both of them. Well, it’s something you learn through generations. I think I’ve learned to balance my life and my work in a different way than they were able to do, and that was also a product of the times,” she said.
