Today we pay Homage to two incredible people a mother and daughter dynamic duo. Debbie Rynolds and Carrie Fisher were two spectacular actresses that changed film forever. Debbie who was the spunky actress that held her own dancing in 'Singing in the Rain' then made a comeback as the most loving grandma in 'Halloween town'. She truly was America's sweetheart, she changed the film industry forever and the world loved her for it. She was a force to be reckoned with AND pioneered change that we still see today.
Her daughter Carrie is most known for being the self rescuing princess Leia from the 'Star Wars' series. However just like her mother she was destined for greatness and spoke out regarding mental illness and strived to truly make a difference in the world. Their passing has truly impacted the world and it will be a far less wonderful place without them, but we will continue to honor them and their contributions to society to keep their legacy alive. Our dear friend Katie from thedressupdame organized an incredible tribute this past weekend in their honor. The turnout was phenomenal TO SAY the least and the diversity of the crowd shows just how I influential they were. Disney even stepped in to help make the tribute unforgettable and it is with great pleasure and immense happiness that we share this special event with you. Here's to you Debbie and Carrie, you may be gone but you will never be forgotten.
