Debbie Reynolds RIP

Just announced. She was mother of Carrie Fisher, but also a great actress in her own right.

Again, you're talking utter scutter. You cannot die from a broken heart, nor can you die from depression.

Theres almost always an underlying illness. I.e heart condition brought on by stress resulting in sudden death.

I was wondering why I hadn't seen a Quincy ME RIP thread.. He's still alive and kicking in this one!.

What horrible news to wake up to, considering what happened the day before. TBH I think I only saw her in Singing in the Rain (which is brilliant by the way for anyone who hasn't seen it) but she was great in that as an actress and singer. After that I just knew her as 'Carrie Fisher's mum'.

RIP

SILVAMAN

what a great gal! RIP

Other than Singing in the Rain (which is fab!) the only modern(ish) film I remember her in is as Kevin Kline's mother in In & Out. Sad news.

Play nice people

Anyone else remember her in the Halloweentown movies? She was brilliant in them. I grew up with those films, especially the first one from 1998!
Such sad news, RIP.

It's terribly sad. I only had remarked that parents shouldn't out-live their children. Next day her Mum had a stroke

That's heartbreaking. They must have been very close.

Never trust a man that doesn't drink and I certainly don't trust Donald.

I know! Was she pushing a piano up the stairs?

I reckon if you showed her face(past or present) to 100 boardsies before her death I'd say 95%+ wouldn't have a clue who she was. There'll be RIP threads for my nan next.

Aye, but I think it's because of her dying immediately after losing her daughter, who was well loved by younger generations. That's pretty affecting.

They weren't close for a while - check out Postcards From The Edge! But they mended their relationship greatly.

Well I didn't direct that at you specifically but you could say "No, I have a life!" in response to any recommendation of any film/book/album ever. Irrespective of the subject matter it's just a great film!

She starred in one of the most loved films of all time and held her own against Gene Kelly, Jean Hagen and Donald O'Connor, who were all brilliant. She may not have had two trillion followers on Twitter, but she was a genuine celebrity.

Yes and my gran did some amazing things too but the point remains that nearly nobody would recognise her and the sentiments in this thread are largely disingenuous.

"Nearly nobody" is nonsense if the packed screening of 'Singin' in the Rain' I went to a couple of years ago is any evidence. Your opinion of other people's sentiments doesn't stand up to a reading of the thread.

Charming, thanks for raising the tone.

Asked a friend of mine, in her early twenties, about her-she knew her from Halloweentown and Singing in the rain. She did a ton of voice work too, so fair dues to her. She was also in Behind the Candelabra a few years back. And Rugrats, Kim Possible and Studio Ghibli's Kikis delivery service.

She was, remarkably, one of the lucky one's from Singing in the Rain. By the time the 70s, 80s, and 90s' rolled in-Gene Kelly was washed up-he couldn't get a gig-one of his last roles was in the show North and South. And his last movie musical, Xanadu in 1980, was a box office disaster. Prior to that, he wasn't getting much work.
Donald O'Connor had more success, retiring 6 years before his passing, with many other films underh is belt.
Yet Kelly is the guy who gets remembered-despite being 'washed up' at such an early stage of his career.

Yet Debbie kept working until the very end. She was lucky, so many others weren't. She had the talent to keep going too.

She was funny as Graces mom in Will and Grace too! RIP

I will remember Debbie Reynolds more recently as she played Peter Griffin's female boss in Family Guy as well as her other notable roles in her acting career.

Her death came as a surprise to me on the news earlier this evening. I didn't really expect for her to die one day her daughter's passing. May she RIP.

I'd also say that Niall Boylan's FB post did have a morbid feel in trying to guess another celebrity death seeing there is only two days left of 2016.

We don't want any more of that **** being imposed on us because again we don't want to endure more news of misery & pain on us all. Enough is Enough.
