Mary Frances "Debbie" Reynolds (April 1, 1932 – December 28, 2016) was an American actor, singer, and film historian from El Paso, Texas.

Born poor, she was crowned "Miss Burbank 1948" and discovered by Creator/WarnerBros. When WB stopped making musicals, she jumped over to {{Creator/MGM}} and starred in a bunch of successful ones. The soundtracks from her films were already charting at this point. Her vocals and acting ability impressed MGM, who decided to give her a [[StarMakingRole starring vehicle]] in ''Film/SinginInTheRain''. Creator/GeneKelly was skeptical of her casting due to her age (19) and lack of dancing experience, but she powered through it. A few years later, she provided the soundtrack to ''Tammy and the Bachelor''; its main title theme, "Tammy", became her SignatureSong and a permanent staple of her concerts.

During her lifetime, she dealt with public highs and lows. These ranged from an Oscar nomination for ''The Unsinkable Molly Brown'' to three bad marriages: Eddie Fisher dumped Reynolds for her recently widowed friend Creator/ElizabethTaylor, causing a media circus. Second and third husbands Harry Karl and Richard Hamlett left her in financial ruin due to their bad investments. Despite these hardships, her nearly seventy-year career in film, television, and stage endured.

She died on December 28, 2016, at the age of 84, the very day after her daughter Creator/CarrieFisher, most likely out of [[DeathByDespair grief]]. Her last words were "I miss her so much... I want to be with Carrie." The two of them were estranged for over a decade but became close again in then-recent years. There's a good documentary about their relationship called ''Bright Lights'' (2016), which was filmed a few months before their deaths.
