One day after her daughter Carrie Fisher died, Debbie Reynolds, most famous for her comedic and musical talents in films like Singin In the Rain and The Unsinkable Molly Brown, as well as turns on Broadway and appearances on popular tv series like Will and Grace, has passed away from a suspected stroke. Her son Todd told the press that shortly before she died Debbie stated: “I want to be with Carrie.” While their relationship was rocky at times, it was clear that they had mended their fences quite awhile ago and were extremely close. If there’s any comfort that can be taken from this tragedy, it’s that they’re once again together.

I gave it all that I had, and it’s gratifying that others seem to be receiving it so well.
On Carrie Fisher:
People used to call her ‘Debbie Reynold’s daughter. Now they call me Princess Leia’s mother!

RIP… it’s been a tough year for celebs, hope 2017 brings better news.

I know it’s just terrible. My own anxiety is kicking in with all these terrible news stories. Just so sad, not supposed to lose your heroes and Carrie was definitely one of mine as a kid. 😦

I hadn’t heard this until I read your post. At least she had a long life.
(Still a few days to go in 2016. Celebrities had better keep looking over their shoulders…)
Best wishes, Pete.

And she’s with Carrie. I heard on the news yesterday that some guy has set up a Go Fund Me page to protect Betty White. I think they said there’s already over $30,000 that’s been donated!

It’s funny because Debbie was 19 when she was cast and Carrie was 19 when she was picked for Star Wars.

So sad. I take comfort in the thought they’re together again, but I feel horrible for the son/brother, Todd, and the rest of the family. I’m glad Carrie’s daughter is taking in Carrie’s dog, Gary.
