On what would have been Carrie Fisher’s 63rd birthday, there are many reminders that the “Star Wars” actress is gone but not forgotten. The straight-shooting* star, who died in 2016, has been the subject of many tributes on Monday — perhaps none as touching as the one shared by her only daughter, Billie Lourd. The “American Horror Story” actress, 27, did a beautiful cover of Tom Petty’s “American Girl” — in Fisher’s bathtub — in honor of her “Momby.” “Not that I’m some kind of grief expert by any means, but on milestones* (or whatever you want to call them) like this, I like to celebrate her by doing things that she loved to do,” wrote Lourd, who is from Fisher’s relationship with talent agent Bryan Lourd. “So here’s a little video of me singing one of her favorite songs (‘American Girl’ by Tom Petty) in one of her favorite places (her bathtub of course).” Lourd, who now lives in her mother’s storied home, concluded by saying she’ll “probably have a pint of vanilla Häagen-Dazs and a Coca-Cola for dinner,” referring to other Fisher favorites. Fisher is also being remembered by her “Star Wars” family. The trailer for the latest film — “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” which she will again appear in posthumously* — released on Monday evening, but there was a tribute to “our princess, our general and our everlasting rebel” on the franchise’s main handle.
