Thank you for visiting my new website. More blogs will be added shortly. Until then, or to stay connected, join us on Facebook and Twitter.
hi im a musical theatre student, i have an assignment assigned to us that we must gather out information about our favourite musical theatres performers about what and who inspired them to become performers, so i founf your blog on the internet and thought i should take a shot and try it.
Just read Unsinkable it was great and bought back so many good memories of the MGM musicals. My sister and I have been fans for years, and Singing In The Rain is one of our favorites, every time we watch it we sing along with the music.
You had many hard times, but you over came them all and shared many good stories with all of us who read your book.
Many years ago I saw your show at the Valley Forge Music Fair in Valley Forge and you were great.
You are still great and an inspiration to many of us who keep on trucking regardless,

Hello Debbie, my sweet lady …
There are so many things to tell you and I find that if I even attempted to describe all the smiles you’ve given me over the years, I will likely crash the hard drive on my computer and yours …
I’ve seen virtually every movie you’ve been in; I feel a few may have slipped past me but I’m always vigilant in watching for those I’ve yet to see. I have several in my collection including the essentials “Singin’ in The Rain”, “My Six Loves” and “Tammy and The Professor”. I introduced my grandchildren to “My Six Loves” one rainy Sunday afternoon and we had the best time cuddled up on the sofa, laughing and eating popcorn. They are all boys ranging from 4 to 11 (now) and they all laughed, albeit at different places within the film. What a gift that you are able to reach such young children with a movie from so long ago that was likely never meant for that target audience. You are a treasure.
My children (and grandchildren) have all been exposed to Hollywood’s Golden Age of movies and musicals. They get enough influence for what is targeted at them so I wanted quality movie history to also be a part of what they enjoyed. My youngest daughter chose Gene Kelly as the subject in her Music History class final exam project and was awarded for her thorough knowledge and presentation.
As for me, I can remember you on the cover of Good Housekeeping magazine years ago, perched in a tree in a pretty print blouse and pink pants (hope I’m remembering the colors correctly). My mom looked all over the house for that month’s copy because I intercepted it from the mailbox and read it over and over before I let her know I had it. That inspired a rule of making sure she was the first to read the magazine from that day forward … LOL.
For years, I’ve been charmed and inspired by your courage, talent and professionalism. From your stints on TV in shows such as “Will & Grace”, your appearances on Broadway which I’ve unhappily never been able to attend to your dedication with Hollywood’s beloved days gone by, I feel as though I know you. I suspect many of your fans feel this way as you’ve a way of connecting that is rare and to be admired.
See? On my way to crashing hard drives, as I feared. Speaking of computers (some segue, huh?) I noticed a few things on your website that may need some attention; don’t mind me, it’s just the editor/writer in me showing her quills. I’d love to be able to write in a less public forum on what I spied if you are interested.
Thanks again for being you. You could never give your fans a better, more wondrous gift.
Your eternal fan, Deborah
Your new book UNSINKABLE is very interesting and a great read although I as a single woman who never allowed any man to take charge of my finances, found your trusting nature frustrating to read about. Anyway I’m glad your costume collection saved you financially.
I have a fond memory of you. I worked for the NYC advertising department of PLAYBOY Magazine around 1961 and was signing in celebrities for a party and of course recognized you but the other young woman at the desk didn’t. She called you Eva Gabor and you immediately started talking to her in a Hungarian accent. Very funny! And you were adorable —dressed as I recall in a little suit and a hat with a veil, what nowadays the Brits call a “fascinator.”
Hi Debbie: I am about the same age as you and believe I have seen all your movies. I loved you in “Two Weeks with Love” in which you sang with Carleton Carpenter the wonderful song, “Abba Dabba Honeymoon”. I believe Jane Powell was also in this movie. I love all your beautiful costumes and other items from movies and plays that you have on display. Wish I had more money as I would love to buy some. I recently saw the movie “Give a Girl a Break” on TV…. a young man named Bob Fosse who was in the film got you the audition to dance in this movie. I was wondering if you could tell me if he was the great choreographer for many movies and plays who every one loved – I loved him also. You have been such an inspiration to many young aspiring actors and I would dearly love to meet you. If you ever do a book signing in the Orlando, Fl area, please let me know as I would love to get your autograph on your book “Unsinkable” which I enjoyed reading sooo much. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to say “hi” to you and let you know how much I admire you. We don’t have many classic actors left …. they don’t make musicals as great as they did back in the day …. and they certainly don’t have stars as marvelous as you any more. Most of the greats have gone…. but we are very lucky to have many of them still on film. Good luck to you in the future …. and keep on being the gracious Debbie Reynolds that you are!!!!! I love your advice column in the Globe and read it every week!!! One of your dearest fans, Shirley Miller
