Carrie Fisher's mom. Understandably distraught at her age - 84.
early reports are that she may have suffered a stroke.
Early reports were indicating a stroke. Hope they are wrong. Wish her a speedy recovery.
I'm not a fan of musicals (honest, I'm not, so don't start -- well except for Cabaret but in that movie they didn't sing to each other which is what puts me off, plus the rest of that whole musical dancing around thing) or that sort of thing but Debbie Reynolds is an acting, singing, dancing phenomenon. As I recall, from Carrie's novel, Postcards From the Edge, her mom's extraordinary talent was very intimidating to a young Carrie and in many ways shaped her life.
I have been a fan since I was about 10 years old. What a sweet lady she is. I pray for her quick, and complete, recovery.
vader's post has been confirmed by more traditional media sources. CLICK HERE for a LA Times article on her life and death.
Tough week for her son and her granddaughter.

She was a grand lady. Rest in Peace.

I met her once. NY, IIRC at a fitness EXPO.
Early 80's she was going head to head with Jane Fonda in a fitness war.
Came home with her autograph and my mom went bonkos over it. I didnt really know who she was, then.
Stroked out while planning her daughter's funeral. Very sad. RIP.
Can't imagine the pain of losing a child, no matter what the age. Very sad to hear.
So sad. I felt so bad for her hearing that her daughter had died, and now she goes. One of the great entertainers of our time.
Wonderfully versatile singer, dancer and actress.
Practiced dance moves as a young newcomer until her feet bled, for complex "Singing In The Rain" routines. Pulled off memorable singing and marathon tap sequences with Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor like a veteran.
Academy nomination for the spunky, and literally never-say-die role as "The Unsinkable Molly Brown."
Few had the range of skills as Debbie Reynolds, delivered at such high levels and made it look so easy. Debbie made her mark when young women often did not get such physically demanding roles.
Losing a child is hard at any age, even if they are 60. Perhaps the one blessing is Debbie didn't suffer long, with the memory of losing her daughter Carrie.

RIP Debbie Reynolds
RIP Carrie Fisher
Capturing the bright limelight one last time, with timely mother-daughter exits, stage right.

Geez. I know you all know I lost my wife recently so I've taken note of others who have passed this year. Maybe I'm just hyper-sensitive to the passing of icons this year, but I can't remember a year that has seen so many talented and great people depart, and many way before they should have:
