Actresses Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher, the mother-daughter duo who died within one day of each other, will likely have a joint funeral, Reynolds' son Todd Fisher has confirmed.
"It's what we want to do, but we're still working on the mechanics. We like the idea, if it's at all possible," Fisher said. "I think it's appropriate." He has said that shortly before his mother died, she said she missed her daughter and wanted to be with her, and she'd also expressed an interest in laying Carrie to rest where she'd planned to be buried.
Carrie, best known for her role as Princess Leia in Star Wars, died Tuesday at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack. Reynolds, who starred in Singin' in the Rain, died Wednesday after having a stroke. She was 84.
