Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is the latest network to honor late actress Debbie Reynolds after she and her daughter Carrie Fisher tragically passed away within a day of each other. TCM will air a 24-hour movie marathon, featuring Reynolds’ most memorable films on Friday, January 27th. More of her movies are available for streaming on Hulu, Amazon and HBO.

HBO recently re-aired Fisher’s Wishful Drinking, an intoxicating autobiographical stage production. It combines her one-woman show with archival footage and interviews from family and friends. The 75-minute special is available to stream through HBO Now and HBO Go.
HBO also moved up the airdate of its documentary Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. The documentary provides a look into the close bond they shared.
“It’s life with Carrie and Debbie. It’s about both of them trying to stand upright, both having their frailties — age on the one hand and mental illness on the other. It’s a love story about a mother and daughter — they happen to be Carrie and Debbie,” HBO Documentary Films president Sheila Nevins told Variety.
Reynolds died unexpectedly of a stroke a day after Fisher passed away following a heart attack. They will have a joint memorial service.
