Debbie Reynolds
Debbie Reynolds (1932–2016) was an American actress, singer, and dancer who rose to fame in Hollywood's golden age.
Best known for *Singin' in the Rain* (1952) and *The Unsinkable Molly Brown* (1964), she became equally famous for her marriages—particularly to Eddie Fisher, who left her for Elizabeth Taylor in a scandal that dominated tabloids.
Mother of actress Carrie Fisher, she died one day after her daughter in 2016.
