Tributes to Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher have continued to pour in online since each of their deaths this week, but as Vulture points out, Carrie herself shared one of the best tributes to her mother yet. While presenting the 2015 SAG Lifetime Achievement Award to Debbie, Carrie was funny, witty and honest, qualities that have long characterized her writing. That she was able to recognize her own mother's contributions to her industry made the speech that much more moving. Carrie being Carrie, she kicked things off with a joke."Not only was my grandmother her mother, she is the grandmother to my alleged daughter," she said. "It also turns out that we're neighbors. She went on to say Debbie "has been more than a mother to me," noting her mom's roles as "unsolicited stylist, interior decorator, and marriage counselor." She continued: "Admittedly, I found it difficult to share my mother with her adoring fans, who treated her like she was part of their family. She has led two lives, public and private, sometimes concurrently, sometimes not." Debbie was also the kind of woman who would "give you the shirt off her back," Carrie said, before adding, "if Vivien Leigh hadn't once worn it in 'Gone With the Wind.'"
