The Carrie Fisher-Debbie Reynolds documentary is set to air tonight on HBO - find out how to watch it live online.
Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds is a new documentary that centers on the iconic mother-daughter's special relationship. The movie takes on a new resonance after Fisher and Reynolds died within one day of each other in the last week of 2016. According to Reynolds' son, Todd Fisher, his mother's final words were "I want to be with Carrie."
Here's the HBO synopsis for Bright Lights:
"The story of a family's complicated love, this documentary is an intimate portrait of Hollywood royalty in all its eccentricity. Carrie Fisher and her mother, Debbie Reynolds, live in the same Beverly Hills compound. The 83-year-old grand dame still has a Las Vegas act, but performing is taking its toll. Carrie's response is both hilarious and heart-rending. Featuring vintage family films that bring iconic old-world Hollywood to life, as well as extensive vérité footage, the film is directed by Alexis Bloom and Fisher Stevens."

Fisher died on Dec. 28 after suffering a cardiac incident on a plane the week before. Fraught with grief, Reynolds was rushed to the hospital a day later where she would be pronounced dead. She was 84.
