With the late December deaths of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, HBO has pushed up the air date for it special about the famous mother-daughter, while Turner Classic Movies has announced a 24-hour marathon of Reynolds' movies.
HBO's "Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds" debuts Saturday (8 p.m. Jan. 7).
HBO description: "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.
"Bright Lights" has been screened at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival and New York Film Festival.
On Friday, Jan. 27, TCM will salute Reynolds with a 24-hour marathon including her break-through role on "Singin' in the Rain," her Academy Award nominated "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," "The Singing Nun" and "The Tender Trap."
