Daughter of Carrie Fisher
Daughter of Bryan Lourd and Carrie Fisher.
Granddaughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher.
She is the niece of actor & producer Todd Fisher.
Billie graduated from New York University in 2014 after studying religion and psychology.
She bears a striking resemblance to her mother Carrie Fisher.
For her role as Chanel #3 in "Scream Queens" , shes constantly wearing earmuffs in every episode. This is a nod to the famous bun hairstyle her mother, Carrie Fisher , wore in Star Wars .
Niece-in-law of Catherine Hickland.
Billie had already filmed her debut role in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens before she was cast as a regular in "Scream Queens" . But because the film had a much longer pre-production period than the Fox TV series, all 13 episodes of Scream Queens first season had been broadcast by the time Episode VII premiered in theaters.
Her maternal grandfather was the son of Russian Jewish parents. The rest of Billies ancestry is English, Scottish, Scots-Irish/Northern Irish, Welsh, German, and distant French.
She lost her mother, Carrie Fisher , and her grandmother, Debbie Reynolds , within one day of each other. Her mother died of a heart attack, while her grandmother suffered a fatal stroke the following day.
Fictionalized as "Honey" in her mothers novel The Best Awful, the sequel to Postcards From the Edge. The Best Awful is based on her parents break-up after her father came out as gay.
I went to NYU, and my parents had a rule that I needed to major in,something other than acting if I wanted to pursue acting after college.
When I first started acting, everyone in my family did not want me to,act.
