Great comment!

[@marysketch4772]

What a great idea to have a tribute to Debbie Reynolds. I always thought she wasn't celebrate/recognized enough upon her death; perhaps because of the close circumstances with her daughter. I always thought my mother would have been upset, thinking Debbie Reynolds didn't get enough recognition upon her death too; she was certainly an important star!

[@roccosophie6498]

Billie Lourd is a very lucky young woman. I know she lost her mother and grandmother early but, she still has that legacy! And that's quite a legacy.

[@TomSnyder-gx5ru]

sparkle and sweet? She's a hypocrite who turned on her aunts and uncle because they processed their grief differently than her. WTF does she think she is? What a spoiled brat

In the seventies I saw Debbie's show in NYC. Everything in the show that could go wrong did. Costume malfunctions The screen brought down to show her movies wasn't working. This was where I really learned the word Trooper. If I remember correctly she did apologize. But of course she was amazingly entertaining. Brought up in a time when The show must go on no matter what! and you felt it. I loved her even more after seeing that show.

What a charming young woman! An often overlooked movie with Debbie Reynolds is Athena (1954) along with Jane Powell. The dance routine in the number "I Never Felt Better" is a marvel to watch! I created the subtitles (with song lyrics, too) for the movie, when before there were none. I hope that Billie Lourd has seen it!

[@pamash427]

Such a great interview! My families trivia with Singing in the Rain is that my Grandpa was in the crew in the rafters controlling/pouring the rain on Gene Kelly! The other connection is that my Grandpa’s name was Eddie Fisher (true story!) 😊

she seems like a lovely, fun young woman. So sorry she lost her mum and grandmother at the same time. terrible loss.

[@chloetrindall5640]

What a wonderful interview! Billie Lourd seems like a lot of fun!

[@TomSnyder-gx5ru]

It's easy to be "a lot of fun" when you get to live off of millions of mommies/grandmother's inherited $$ that you never had to work for!

[@ellenw391]

@@TomSnyder-gx5ru Hmmm seems to me I've seen her do a lot of her own projects. That involves WORK and not just living off inherited money. Plus she seems to have integrity. When a certain family member was selling fake items, she distanced herself immediately. Very sad that happened, but it shows she valued honestly of earning money off her Mom's name. And now she is married with 2 young children. So I think it's great if she is currently directing most of her time to them!!! And don't forget, her Dad is one of the Hollywood's most successful agents. So yeah, she is lucky financially. But I'd wager a bet she'd rather be broke and have her Mom back!

Great interview. Just a note to say how much I cherish TCM. I love old movies from 30s and 40s especially; always have even as a kiddo. Don't know what drew me to them, but through TCM, I have a treasure trove of these gems. Not all of them sparkle, but even the cubic zirconia ones fascinate me. Thanks to Ted Turner for starting this and saving these oldie but very goodies for me to enjoy.

[@KathysIndieZoNe]

[@christophernejman]

I loved The Singing Nun. I remember watching it on TV when I was a kid.

[@stevenwymor1398]

I used to watch Singin’ In the Rain with my mother and grandmother too. They used to air it on TV as the Saturday matinee on a pretty regular basis when I was a kid in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. I spoke about that experience in a eulogy I gave for my mom who happened to pass within days of Debbie Reynolds. It’s one of my all time favorites. The amount of sheer joy that film still brings to me is unparalleled. Long live Debbie Reynolds.

Debbie Reynolds is one of my favorite stars. She did have a beautiful singing voice and she was an excellent dancer. I have always admired her as a person. I think she was a very kind, compassionate, tenacious, caring, tough, loving woman and a survivor with a great sense of humor. She was a very versatile and talented performer and a classic movie star. The world could benefit from more people with her character, work ethic and perseverance. You are missed Ms. Reynolds by so many people who never got the chance to meet you in person but can relate to you and enjoyed your performances so much. You have left an amazing legacy. God bless you, ❤❤❤ ⭐️🌟💫⭐️🌟💫

[@Ambimom]

Your grandma was a great actress, for which she never got credit. I think it's because of all the tabloid crap she endured. For example, a movie she did with Albert Brooks, "Mother" was kind of dumb, but Debbie made the movie worth seeing. On one hand, she played it for pure comedy. "Protective ice" has become a catchword in my family ever since. I almost pissed my pants during that scene, because of Debbie's timing and delivery. I hadn't laughed so hard since Carol Burnett walked onto stage in a curtain rod. But later in the movie when her son finds her writing, she made me cry. Your mom was no slouch either, but you've got quite a legacy to live up to.
