Debbie Reynolds, one of Hollywood’s biggest stars in the 50s and 60s, died on Wednesday- just one day after her daughter Carrie Fisher passed away.
Reynolds, 84, had been complaining about breathing problems and was taken to a Los Angeles hospital (we are told Cedar Sinai blocks from my previous home) Wednesday afternoon. At this point, that’s really the only concrete information we have, although rumor suggests she died after having had a stroke.
Todd Fisher told CNN:
“My mother passed away a short time ago. She spoke to me this morning and said she missed Carrie.”

Reynolds was born Mary Frances Reynolds and rose to stardom thanks to her bubbly personality, voice and dancing skills. As an actress, she starred in classics like “Singin’ in the Rain” and “The Unsinkable Molly Brown.”
She was married to singing sensation Eddie Fisher, Carrie’s father, but he left her for Elizabeth Taylor in 1959.
We will update you as we have additional information.
