Thursday night’s episode of Will & Grace was an emotional one for fans.
Billie Lourdmade a touching appearance on the NBC comedy to pay tribute to her grandmother, the lateDebbie Reynolds. The legendary actress — whodiedat 84 in December 2016, one day after her daughterCarrie Fisher— was a regular on the original sitcom as Grace Adler’s (Debra Messing) mom Bobbi.
Lourd, 27, played Fiona, Bobbi’s granddaughter and Grace’s niece —and needless to say, viewers were incredibly moved.
