Carrie Fisher Watches Mom Debbie Reynolds Perform in 1963

In 1963, a young Carrie Fisher sat backstage at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas, watching her mother, Debbie Reynolds, perform on stage. The black-and-white photograph captured the poignant moment of Hollywood royalty passing the torch from generation to generation. Fisher became famous in the original “Star Wars” films.

Fisher was only six years old at the time of this shot, but she sat attentively on a stool provided by her nanny, captivated by her mother’s singing and dancing act. This iconic image became a social media memorial after the deaths of both Fisher and Reynolds, just a day apart.
