Summary

Debbie: My Life is a heartfelt, feel-good autobiography that chronicles the rags-to-riches-to-rags story of the indomitable Debbie Reynolds. The much-beloved actress first grabbed America's heart when, as a poor 16-year-old, she entered and won the Miss Burbank contest. Ms. Reynolds went on to embody fresh-faced American grace and gumption in such classic films as Singing' in the Rain, How the West Was Won, and The Unsinkable Molly Brown. Debbie shares vivid memories of her public and private life: her widely publicized and turbulent marriages to Eddie Fisher and businessman Harry Karl; her experiences with other stars like Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, Bette Davis, Shelley Winters, Glenn Ford, Robert Wagner, and Fred Astaire; and her enduring relationships with her son, Todd Fisher, and daughter, actress and author Carrie Fisher. Against the backdrop of the Golden Age of Hollywood, Debbie: My Life—read by Reynolds herself—is a witty and frank account of a survivor whose screen performances have touched us all.
