During an October 1 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Lourd, 34, was asked to share the best advice she ever received from the Hollywood legend.

Debbie Reynolds Was Open About Her Own Cosmetic Work
Debbie Reynolds passed down plenty of wisdom to granddaughter Billie Lourd, including some memorable advice about cosmetic procedures.
Reynolds had previously spoken publicly about her own experiences with cosmetic procedures.
In a 1999 interview with The Chicago Tribune, the Singin' in the Rain star revealed she'd undergone a chin lift, though she wasn't ready to commit to a full facelift at the time.
Despite the humorous advice she eventually passed down to her granddaughter, Reynolds said she wanted to wait until laser procedures were safer because she was concerned about potentially experiencing a bad surgical outcome.
