PEOPLE caught up with the actress at Monday night’s PEOPLE &Entertainment WeeklyUpfronts party in New York City, and Lourd spilled all the details on momCarrie Fisherand grandmother Debbie Reynolds, who just debuted their documentaryBright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynoldsin Cannes.
“I was [interviewed] a little bit, but not that much,” said Lourd, 23. “It was more of a Debbie-Carrie thing. I’m always proud of my mother, she’s killing it right now. She’s incredible.”
“I should do [a documentary] about my mom now, right?” added the star. “But she’s kind of already done it.”
Of Reynolds, 84, Lourd said it was “such an incredible thing to get footage of her.”
“She’s had such an incredible career and she’s done so many shows that people don’t even know about,” Lourd said. “She performs in Reno, she performs all over the country. It’s an incredible thing for people to see what a full star she is. She really does it all.”
But beyond her on-screen and onstage skills, Lourd says Reynolds is “an incredible grandmother.”
“She is incredibly funny. I was downstairs with her just a week ago – she lives downstairs at my house, we’re all on this crazy actors compound that is insane,” she explained. “And I went down there and she was trying to convince me to start my own act, because she thinks that that’s the way that acting happens.”
“She thinks it’s hilarious, she loves it so much,” Lourd said. “She loves the costumes. [She’s] obsessed with fur and ear muffs and all of that.”
Another favorite project of Lourd? Working with mom Fisher, 59,on theStar Warsfranchise.
“I’m back in [Star Wars: Episode VIII],” Lourd revealed. “I shot for a month. I’ve already signed, so I can’t say much. But I’m going back in June and I’m shooting for another month.”
