Rest In Peace, Debbie Reynolds


 

Debbie Reynolds, one of the last connections to Hollywood's golden age has passed away at age 84. Ms. Reynolds burst onto the scene in 1950's Two Weeks with Love. Her biggest break would come just two years later when she co-starred alongside Gene Kelly in the classic Singin' in the Rain. She would star in a succession of hits, taking time out to marry Eddie Fisher and become the mother of Carrie and Todd Fisher. After Eddie's much publicized affair with Elizabeth Taylor, she revitalized her career starring in such classics as The Unsinkable Molly Brown. She parlayed her considerable musical skills and talent into a successful Las Vegas act. In recent years, Debbie Reynolds has starred in numerous television projects, including the successful Disney Channel Halloweentown franchise. Sadly, her death comes just one day after her daughter Carrie's death from a heart attack.
