Miss Her So Much

I feel the same way...

Although Debbie Reynolds wasn't my favorite actress, I always enjoyed her performances in everything I saw her in.

She always seemed like she was a wonderful person too... I know she collected a lot of hollywood memorabilia, which kept Classic Hollywood alive for new fans.

Somehow, knowing great stars like Debbie Reynolds are still around and still acting is rather comforting...

When you also grow up with stars, like Carrie Fisher, playing Princess Leia in the Star Wars films... they seem like your friends.

Not only to lose a "friend", but also a part of "history" at the same time... and at Christmas time too... was a real blow to many people... Even my Dad mentioned this to me, and he was never a big movie fan.

To top it off, to hear her about her last words saying she "Missed Carrie, and wanted to be with her", and then for her to die just hours later... it becomes clear that her daughter's death was too much for her... It just made the whole thing even more tragic. My heart really went to pieces thinking about how much she was suffering.


It sounds like something out of a hollywood movie... But I can't even think of any movies that ever portrayed anything like that.

I know I have ever experienced anything like that with people i actually knew before, and I hope I never will...

This is something that is going to stay with me, probably the rest of my life. I will never be able to see one of their films again, without thinking about it.

It definitely rates up there as one of the most memorable pair of deaths in Hollywood history. I had only seen Reynolds in one movie for many years, Singin in the Rain. I never went out of my way to see anything else she was in, though I almost went to see a screening of How The West Was Won at Cinerama Dome interestingly in December a few weeks before she died. I ultimately I decided to skip it assuming she was always going to be around for me to see her do a Q&A later.

When she and her daughter died, I started looking up her acting credits and seeing what else she did. One revelation was that Singin in the Rain wasn't her debut in a movie. She was playing teenagers in these other roles in earlier films that I had no idea about. I didn't even know she was on Will and Grace. After over a month now, I can proudly say I've finally seen majority of her films and It's my loss that I never gave them a chance before. I'm incredibly sad that I didnt see to really appreciate Reynolds when she was living, I just thought of her as Kathy Seldon, Carrie Fisher's mom, and as a lady that collected Hollywood stuff.

Now I think of her as a legendary entertainer and hilarious comic that didn't deserve all the hardship in her life.
