Actress. Perky and multi-talented, she experienced success on stage, in films, and on television. She will perhaps be remembered for playing 'Kathy Selden' opposite Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor in the classic musical "Singin' in the Rain" (1952). Born Mary Francis Reynolds, her father worked as a railroad carpenter for the Southern Pacific Railroad; her mother washed laundry to provide additional income. She moved with her family to Southern California during her mid-teens. After winning the 'Miss Burbank' beauty contest, she was spotted by Hollywood talent scouts. This led to her motion picture debut in the Warner Brothers film "June Bride" (1948), which was followed with a string of musicals including "The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady" (1950) and "Three Little Words" (1950). Further films include "The Affairs of Dobie Gillis" (1953), "The Tender Trap" (1955, opposite Frank Sinatra), "Tammy and the Bachelor" (1957), "It Started with a Kiss" (1959), and "The Rat Race" (1960, opposite Tony Curtis). In 1955 (divorced in 1959), she married singer Eddie Fisher. Their marriage produced their children, actress Carrie Fisher and TV director Todd Fisher. She received an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of the title role in the film "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" (1964) and had additional memorable credits with "The Singing Nun" (1966), "Divorce, American Style" (1967), and "How Sweet It Is" (1968). Her own TV series, "The Debbie Reynolds Show," ran for one season (1969 to 1970). In 1973, she made her Broadway debut in the production "Irene," for which she received a Tony Award nomination. The play was also of note for costarring her daughter Carrie. She will also be remembered for providing the voice of 'Charlotte' in the animated children's film "Charlotte's Web" (1973). During the course of her career, she earned five Golden Globe nominations and one Emmy Award nomination. In 1997, she received a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, and in 2016, she was honored with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. After divorcing Eddie Fisher, she married two more times, however both marriages also ended in divorce. In 1985, she recorded two exercise videotapes, and in 1988, she published her autobiography "Debbie: My Life." Her relationship with her daughter Carrie Fisher was often stormy and was the basis for Fisher's novel "Postcards from the Edge" (1987). A film adaptation of the same title, which starred Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine, was made in 1990. Debbie Reynolds died in 2016 from a stroke she suffered one day after the death of her daughter Carrie Fisher.
