Debbie Reynolds, star of such classic movie musicals as Singin’ in the Rain and The Unsinkable Molly Brown passed away today at the age of 84, only one day after the death of her daughter, Carrie Fisher.
While Reynolds was most well known for the abovementioned musicals, even receiving an Oscar nomination for The Unsinkable Molly Brown, her career spanned decades, beginning in the late 1940s.
While there is no official cause of death at this time, it is believed that Reynolds suffered a stroke while at the Beverly Hills home of Carrie Fisher earlier this afternoon.
She was not a trained dancer at the time, so Fred Astaire coached her to help her keep up with co-star Gene Kelly.
