“She wants people to call me ‘Debbie Reynolds’ granddaughter.'
It’s very offensive to her.
She does not like to be cut out not at all.”
That included Reynolds sitting Lourd down to read her diaries dating back to the Golden Age of Hollywood.
“I started reading them to myself, and she said, ‘No, dear.
hey read them out loud.’
And I started reading them and they’re all in second-person.”
Lourd continued: “They are somewhere along the lines of, ‘You’re sitting in the makeup chair.
It’s 5 in the morning.
They’ve pulled out all your eyebrows and you have no eyelashes left.
As Meyers laughed, Lourd offered her perspective on the chat.
“So, I read this out loud and kind of looked at her like, ‘Okay?'”
I was like, ‘Yeah, I think it’s different now.
I think I’m going to be able to keep my eyebrows.
So I’m gonna go for it.'”
The concern for Lourd’s future in Hollywood didn’t stop Reynolds from supporting her granddaughter’s work.
“She’s a huge fan,” Lourd said ofScream Queens.
“I mean, she’s a fan of anything that involves a lot of fur.
She misses that in film and TV.
