Movie Legends - Debbie Reynolds

[RenderReactor]

What a nice song! I don't know who sings it but I heard Debby Reynolds who was admired by her own family (children) and people. I am Peruvian and I saw a short film about this great diva and when I heard Tammy l loved

[RenderReactor]

heard Tammy I loved it so much that I want to make the most of this opportunity to say that I really look up to her for having been so worthy, with so well-founded spiritual and moral principles, as well as a good mother and a great human being and actress.

Please, make a film based on her life!

It would be so he

[powerdriller10]

Fisher was a one of the greatest out-screwers of all times.He was envied by a hundred -million men and then became the laughing and pitying stock of everybody. He was advised by some italians to kill Burton, and why not Taylor too. He should, and so become an italian hero and a betterment of Ottello. Italy´s judicial system would have been lenient and forgiving. One year then free.

His life-after would have been better, a questionable hero is at the end more respected than a yellow cuckold.

6:07 video: Images and music of the talented and well-loved Hollywood Star Debbie Reynolds; born Mary Frances Reynolds on April 1, 1932, in El Paso, Texas.

[babw12]

was there a movie where debbie was dancing on pointe? just wondering b/c of the picture at 2:17 or it could have just been a photo shoot

[KnightVow]

Its a shame the Hollywood Stars of today don't have the class of Debbie Reynolds.

[HipHopcheerleader]

The song Tammy, is how I feel when I am in Love.

[mr100raychapman]

Wrap  Basil Around Cheers

[cjm608]

[BernardProfitendieu]

@cjm608 the kind of class that makes it through life without knowing how to spell "a lot" ?

[cjm608]

@BernardProfitendieu did you bump your head? cut it out.

[BernardProfitendieu]

@cjm608 trying to contact me on Facebook? I'll file that under "Creepy"

[ShineAndRise]

what a beauty!

[ramiona83]

What music is at the beginning of this video? It's great! :)

[basilnelson]

The music at the beginning of the soundtrack is titled 'Magnolia Blossoms' and is played by Bert Kaempfert and his

Orchestra.

[ramiona83]

Thanks, anyway the video is great, I love Debbie Reynolds, I hadn't known her until I saw "What's my line" with her and she was gorgeous! Now I'm looking for films with her :-)

[pmpkineatr]

ty for this vid. i absolutely love debbie reynolds.

[Grifiki]

Beutiful. But so little. So delicate. To touch her, was too much.

[basilnelson]

Watch out my second tribute to Debbie Reynolds due for release on December 22.

[SoCalGal52]

@basilnelson Where does one find it Basil? This one was lovely and the music for the first 3 minutes was so pretty, as was the Tammy ballad. I feel so happy for Debbie that she is such a survivor. Of the triangle of her, Liz and Eddie, she is still alive and looking pretty and healthy. I feel she won that whole nonsense of the big scandal because she is still here. And good for her. What a lovely actress and nice woman and so, so pretty. Thank you for this video. All of them are great!

[burlriowestpac]

Thank you, thank,you for the lovely pictorial tribute to the first crush of my life, Debbie Reynolds. I live in Bryson City, NC which is just across the Smokies from Pigeon Forge, TN! Can you tell me if her museum there has opened yet?

[Arlease37]

Debbie entered into old age more gracefully than elizabeth did. She to me looks younger than liz. Guess Looks do fade

[warrenst1955]

i agree wirh powerdriller 10 all the way !!! elsmarie

[lucasfan18]

great looking woman and so talented as is Carrie

[powerdriller10]

Debbie Reynolds became all-around more beautiful than Elizabeth Taylor about 1960. Every year since then the beauty gap increased in favor of Reynolds untill both actress became too old to make a point in comparing. Before 1960 Taylor was just a very small little above Reynolds. But, by 1965 Reynolds was still a babe while Taylor was shabby, fat, good only for bitch rols in movies.

I say this because of the rivalry between them in the mid-50´s when Taylor stole Debbie´s husband.

[SoCalGal52]

@powerdriller10 I agree with most of what you said. I too think Taylor was at her prettiest and sexiest between 1950 and '60. Once she married Burton she seemed to become a little crass and less attractive, physically and morally. Debbie was always pretty, but mostly considered cute or wholesome & bubbly, the proverbial "girl next door." But then she blossomed and came into her own as a beauty and an actress. I love her in The Catered Affair. She's an icon in her own right, and very classy.

[powerdriller10]

@SoCalGal52

I sort of got in love with Debbie Reynolds when I watched the movie "Singing´n the Rain", her beauty was a little bit more than enough to not need a make up from her harmonious voice of perfect feminity.

Even if un-needed for cometics, her singing voice beautified Debbie Reynolds, and more: it sublimed her to divinity status.

Taylor´s face is maybe the most beautiful of all times, and she was a great actress too. But, a girl to fall in real love was Reynolds.

[SoCalGal52]

@powerdriller10 I just can't get behind the notion that Liz had THE most beautiful face of all time. I know she was gorgeous and was called the most beautiful woman of the 20th Century, (what a great publicist she had), but there were SO MANY gorgeous women at that same time. I mean Grace Kelly, Ava Gardner, Sophia Loren, etc. But I still agree with you about Debbie vs. Liz. Debbie's beauty has carried her through to this day. Plus, shes won because she's outlived Liz & Eddie. Never a fan of Liz

[powerdriller10]

@SoCalGal52

Remembering those women you mention is a pleasure.

About Taylor´s face, well, I do not think that can be improved or surpassed, at age 23, it was hypnotic, shined like a sun radiating goddessly beauty. But, of course Sophia Loren was superior over-all, her splendorous real woman body. Grace Kelly the most sophisticated, Ava Gardner a good vamp but not in the same league; while Lollobrigida and Cardinale surely were in it. Cardinale, hmm!, my teen nights´ fantasy.

[SoCalGal52]

@powerdriller10 You are correct in so many ways. Liz was stunning in her late teens and through her twenties. The camera loved her and she loved the camera. She was a cameraman's delight, to say the least. I'm surprised you don't think Ava was in the same league. I've heard quotes that her beauty made Liz Taylor look bad, which I know is an exaggeration and ridiculous. Anyway, this is a site about Debbie, so I shouldn't change the subject. I love your passion.

[powerdriller10]

@SoCalGal52

You are right, this is a Debbie Reynolds video, don´t let Taylor to take it over.

About that term "girl next door", I do not know exactly what you americans mean. It sounds to me like "common girl." Debbie Reynolds beauty was not common, neither her personality in real life nor in her acting; and certainly not her singing voice. A next door girl wouldn´t go unnoticed having Reynold´s beauty.

[SoCalGal52]

@powerdriller10 Good question so I looked it up and you are right. Wikipedia says "The cultural and sexual stereotype of the girl next door or the All-American girl is invoked in American contexts to indicate wholesome, unassuming femininity, as opposed to the culture's other female stereotypes such as the tomboy, the valley girl, the femme fatale, girly girl, or the slut." Or..."Girl next door means like a really nice girl, that is clean cut good manered and an all around good person."...

[SoCalGal52]

@SoCalGal52 ..."She is also usually very attractive in a cute way." "A girl that lives next door =

Me: Hi, do you live around here? Her: Yeah, I'm the girl next door!

Those are a few explanations I found on the web.

It's a very common term used in America, and maybe folks (like me) don't really think about its meaning. I've always thought of it as a positive term. I do think Debbie is the "All-American" girl, but certainly not average or common. The mold was broken when God made Debbie.

[franchescasol]

Que canción!, no se quien la canta, pero la escuche a Debby Reynols, admirada por su familia (sus hijos) y su pueblo, soy peruana y vi. un corto sobre esta gran "DIVA" del cine, y al escuchar TAMMY no podía dejar pasar esta oportunidad, de decir que la admiro por haber sido fuerte y DIGNA con principios morales y espirituales bien cimentados, buena madre, gran ser humano, gran ACTRIZ.

Hagan una película de su vida

serviría de ejemplo para tanta gente q con menos problemas se matan.

[SoCalGal52]

@franchescasol I wish I could read and understand what you said here.

[bersaba]

Debbie's legs should have a website dedicated to them.

[luckyjim1846]

debbie reynolds is a real class act!

[cirvine1234]

Magical music. As if Tammy wasn't fabulous enough, the piano intro is also brilliant.

Anyone know who wrote Tammy, words and music, the tune sounds as if it could be celtic, Irish.

Many thanks for posting it as I had given up ever hearing it again.

The piano intro sounds like Floyd Cramer.

[niceguy63073]

I love how she has her own museum of old Hollywood memorabilia. I think it is in Vegas but not positive on that. A real talent!

[BelleIsland1100]

Debbie's museum will be located at Belle Island Village in Pigeon Forge, TN. It should open in the spring 2009! We are all excited here in Pigeon Forge!!!!

[SoCalGal52]

@BelleIsland1100 Why Tennessee?

[SoCalGal52]

@niceguy63073 She is going to sell all her stuff, it seems she can't find anyone to help finance a museum in Hollywood. The one in Vegas closed. Watch her on The View from last week, she talks about all her memorabilia and how she is going to have an auction in Hollywood come May or June. Heartbreaking, but she has such a great attitude and always a smile on her face. A portion of last weeks View is on youtube, but not the museum part, go to their website. She looks great, healthy and so funny.

[booskidooo]

Debbie Reynolds will remain forever one of my favourite actress. She is very talentuous and great actress and singer. Her daughter, Carrie fisher (princess leia) is a great actress too.

[tammarnie]

its a shame that the 1950s era was the here and now, i really think its whats needed now. just seeing how beautiful debbie looks makes you want to copy her fashion. I loved this video

[hefalu]

guapa¡¡¡

[PJCoan]

I met Debbie at a Christmas party in West Hollywood in 2004- she was absolutely stunning, kind, and had the most sparkling blue eyes I've ever seen. She spoke of her husbands- went on and on about what schmucks they all were.... she made me laugh- it was a thrill. Then Rip Taylor showed up at the party and took her away from me. But I'll never forget it as long as I live.... Patrick

[f27271t]

I met her in 1997 filming the movie In & Out in Queens NY, she was nice

[whispperson]

This Lovely Lady is My all time Favorate Actress. Such a Talent Throughout her Life and also she is 'Grace Adler's' Interfearing, well meaning Mother in 'Will and Grace'{which is a Bonus, as its my Favorate Comedy of all time}.

She is still a cracker today. I have fallen in love all over again.

The most beautiful Hollywood girl of all time.

6 minutes 5 seconds of absolute perfection.

How Eddie Fisher could leave her for Liz Taylor has always stunned me. Big Kiss for Debbie. X

[monichat]

I appreciate your comment about Eddie Fisher leaving her for E.T. It was his loss and he probably regretted it bitterly. Debbie is a great beauty, always smiling, full of energy. Hope she is happy !

[whispperson]

Tribute to one of the Silver Screens True Legends.
