Billie Lourd Says Her Acting Chops Come from Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds: ‘Comedy Is in the Genetics’

Bille Lourd exclusively shared with PEOPLE at Hulu’s Mid-Century Modern premiere on March 25 that she believes she gets her acting and comedy skills from her late mother, Carrie Fisher, and late grandmother, Debbie Reynolds.

I can do a fair bit of tap dancing, not as good as ... young Debbie Reynolds, but that’s also in the genes, although my mom kind of sucked at tap dancing,” Lourd explains, adding that she still always looks for ways to make her performances her own. The Scream Queens actress also spoke about how doing the multi-cam series Mid-Century Modern was a different experience from her other acting work. But yeah, my kids are hysterical and cool and really good dancers and just awesome," Lourd says.
