Debbie Reynolds 1931 – 2016
Mary Frances “Debbie” Reynolds (April 1, 1932 – December 28, 2016) was an American actress, singer, and businesswoman. Her career spanned almost 70 years.
She was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Most Promising Newcomer with her portrayal of Helen Kane in the 1950 film Three Little Words. Her breakout role was her first leading role, as Kathy Selden in Singin’ in the Rain (1952). Her other successes include The Affairs of Dobie Gillis (1953), Susan Slept Here (1954), Bundle of Joy (1956 Golden Globe nomination), The Catered Affair (1956 National Board of Review Best Supporting Actress Winner), and Tammy and the Bachelor (1957), in which her performance of the song “Tammy” topped the Billboard music charts.
In 1959, she starred in The Mating Game (with Tony Randall) and released her first pop music album, titled Debbie.
She starred with Gene Kelly in Singin’ in the Rain (1952), How the West Was Won (1962), and The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964), a biographical film about the famously boisterous Titanic passenger Margaret “Molly” Brown. Her performance as Brown earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. Some of Reynolds’ other films include The Singing Nun (1966), Divorce American Style (1967), What’s the Matter with Helen? (1971), Charlotte’s Web (1973), Mother (1996; Golden Globe nomination) and In & Out (1997).
Reynolds passed away on December 28, 2016 at the age of 84, one day after her daughter Carrie Fisher. “Carrie put it best,” Reynolds’s son Todd recalled. “She said, ‘Debbie is Christmas.’ Debbie was just a big, giving thing. There was just no end to that gift.”
Below is a preview for “Cape Fear” which is on TCM on January 30, 2024.
