Debbie, known for the movie Singin In the Rain, starred in several more MGM musicals with the actress typically cast as a wholesome young heroine, before her Oscar-nominated turn in The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964).

She also starred in her own sitcom, The Debbie Reynolds Show from 1969-1970.

Her career in cinema was largely over by the 1970s, though she continued to star in TV movies and series. She also made regular personal appearances, acting on stage and portraying Liberace’s mother Frances opposite Michael Douglas in 2013’s Behind the Candelabra.

Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, a documentary about her relationship with her daughter, premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and is due to air on HBO in March.  – with a report from Agence France-Presse/Rappler.com
