“Some infuse me with rage, some make me cry all day long, some make me feel dissociated and empty, some make me feel nothing,” Lourd, who shares two young children with herhusband Austen Rydell, wrote at that time. “Some make me feel guilty for feeling nothing, and some make me feel all of those things all at once.”

Lourd still keeps her mother in mind when she chooses her movie roles; at theToronto International Film Festivalin September, she told PEOPLE she “was so excited to” act alongside Pamela Anderson in the new movieThe Last Showgirl"because itreminded me so much of my mom and grandma."

“My grandma was a showgirl in her own right and my mom was a little bit of the character that I got to play,” she said at the time of Fisher and her grandmotherDebbie Reynolds, who died at 84 just one day after Fisher in 2016.
