FILM 1864: BRIGHT LIGHTS: STARRING CARRIE FISHER AND DEBBIE REYNOLDS



FILM 1864: BRIGHT LIGHTS: STARRING CARRIE FISHER AND DEBBIE REYNOLDS 

TRIVIA: Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds both passed away before the documentary aired on American television.

Filming for the documentary began in April 2014 and ceased after Debbie was nominated for the SAG Lifetime Achievement Award in January 2015.

The narrative initially began as a chronicle of Debbie Reynolds' late-in-life career, but turned into a story about Carrie and Debbie's relationship.

According to Alexis Bloom, Carrie was struck by the intimacy of the scenes when she saw the first cut of the film, but came to endorse it after a conversation with the directors.
