Sharon Horgan reveals advice Carrie Fisher gave her before death

Sharon Horgan is recalling words of wisdom Carrie Fisher shared with her before her death eight years ago.

Horgan, 54, was in a conversation with People Magazine when the Bad Sisters creator spoke a few words honouring the late actress-writer, who died at age 60.

“We bonded because we just got on and we had a similar sense of humor and she knew how much I enjoyed her. She was so funny and so quick,” Horgan recalled of Fisher.

Horgan then recounted the advice she got from Fisher during her last days.

“She was really supportive and used her experience to give you her advice on it,” Horgan shared. “And it was always about, ‘Don’t let the business overwhelm you, mad things are happening, and just always keep it about family,’ that kind of thing. That was really, really important to her to pass that on.”

Horgan specifically remembers Fisher telling her to “protect [her] relationship,” referring to her then-husband Jeremy Rainbird, who she divorced in 2019.

“But it’s not always as simple as that, is it?” she told the publication. “Everything happens for a reason.”

Horgan was among the last people to spend time with Fisher before she died as the actresses had gone out to dinner with Salman Rushdie in London the night before the Star Wars alum boarded the plane where she suffered a heart attack.
