Carrie Fisher's brother has given fans a sneak preview of a September auction in which personal items belonging to the "Star Wars" actress as well as her mother, Debbie Reynolds, will be offered for sale. Todd Fisher pointed out the Christmas tree and fireplaces his sister kept going year 'round in her eclectic home, which was part of a compound that included Reynolds' house. Carrie Fisher never regained consciousness after falling ill on a flight home from London on Dec. 23, 2016. Portions of the proceeds will benefit two charities, the Reynolds-founded Thalians and the Jed Foundation, selected by Carrie Fisher's daughter, Billie Lourd. "The size and scope of their collection rivals most museums," Todd Fisher said in a statement on his website.
