Remembering Debbie Reynolds
Debbie Reynolds was one of the great movie stars and most talented all-around performers of the 1950’s and 1960’s. Her iconic roles included the female lead in Singing In The Rain, opposite Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor, which she did when she was only nineteen. She also recorded the best selling record “Tammy” in 1957 as part of her role in the first Tammy movie. She was also nominated for an Academy Award for the title role in The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964). She made headlines around the world as the real-life jilted wife in the love triangle between her, her husband Eddie Fisher, and the “other woman, Elizabeth Taylor. Her daughter with Eddie Fisher, Carrie Fisher, went on to become a starring actress in her own right and, in an eerie coincidence, predeceased her mother by one day.
