United States Billie Lourd, an actress known for her roles in popular franchises and acclaimed television series, navigates a career that spans from science fiction epics to critically recognized horror anthologies.
Billie Lourd signed with Brillstein Entertainment Partners for representation. She is also a partner at Morning Moon Productions, which has recent producing credits.
Billie Lourd hosted the launch party for Mujen, a Shochu liquor brand created by Bruce Bozzi and Sondra Baker, in Los Angeles.
Billie Lourd appeared in a holiday-themed television commercial for Old Navy, titled 'Holiday Wrapping!', alongside Neil Patrick Harris.
Billie Catherine Lourd was born on July 17, 1992, in Los Angeles, California. Her parents are actress Carrie Fisher and talent agent Bryan Lourd. Growing up in a family deeply entrenched in the entertainment industry, with grandmother Debbie Reynolds and grandfather Eddie Fisher also being notable figures, Lourd developed an early connection to performing arts. She attended Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles and later pursued a self-designed degree in “Art and Business as Religion” from New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, graduating in 2014.
Lourd’s acting career commenced in 2015 when she played Lieutenant Connix in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” This marked her entry into a major film franchise, a role she reprised in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” (2017) and “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” (2019). The same year, she gained recognition for her portrayal of Chanel #3 in the Fox horror-comedy series “Scream Queens,” wearing earmuffs as a subtle nod to her late mother Carrie Fisher’s iconic Princess Leia hairstyle. Her performance in “Scream Queens” led to further collaborations with writer and producer Ryan Murphy.
Following her work in “Scream Queens,” Lourd joined the cast of the FX horror anthology series “American Horror Story” starting with its seventh season, “Cult,” in 2017. She continued to appear in subsequent seasons, including “Apocalypse” (2018), “1984” (2019), “Double Feature” (2021), “NYC” (2022), and “Delicate” (2023-2024), showcasing her versatility in various character roles. Beyond television, Lourd has featured in films such as “Billionaire Boys Club” (2018), the critically acclaimed high school comedy “Booksmart” (2019), and the romantic comedy “Ticket to Paradise” (2022) alongside Julia Roberts and George Clooney. She also engages in production work, with credits as a producer for “Wildflower” (2022) and executive producer for “Late Fame” (2025).
