The first look at Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds' HBO documentary, Bright Lights, has been released. The trailer offers a glimpse of the late mother-daughter duo's intricate relationship, acting careers and everyday lives. "This documentary is a portrait of Hollywood royalty in all its eccentricity," a summary reads.
From hints in the preview, the doc was filmed while Fisher was working on The Force Awakens (or, as she calls it in the clip, "Star Wars 72") and her mother, 83 at the time, was amidst performances in Las Vegas.

The trailer highlights some adorable moments between the two late stars, like Fisher teasing her mom for having an outdated cellphone, Reynolds telling her daughter to "just do what your mother says, it makes life easier" and the pair sifting through their wardrobe together. "I share everything with my daughter—especially the check," Reynolds quips.

But the doc also delves deeper into more personal issues, like struggling with aging and mental illness. "My mother, she'll forget she's not 35. Age is horrible for all of us, but she falls from a greater height," Fisher says.
"Manic depression is a disease. That was not diagnosed then," Reynolds explains of how her daughter struggled with mental health at a young age. "So nobody kind of knew what was going on with Carrie."

Fisher passed away on December 27 at the age of 60, and Reynolds followed at the age of 84 on December 28. Hours before her death, Reynolds reportedly said, "I want to be with Carrie." Both late actresses will be buried together in a private ceremony this Friday, January 6.
Bright Lights: Starring Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher premieres on January 7 at 8 p.m. on HBO. Watch the trailer here.
