Rest In Peace, Debbie Reynolds

Debbie Reynolds passed away yesterday at the age of 84. She died one day after her daughter, after she was taken to the hospital after suffering a stroke. May she rest in peace. My thoughts go out to her family, who lost both of them in the course of two days.

After checking, the only things I have ever seen her in (thanks to a severe aversion to musicals) is an episode of Wings, an episode of Golden Girls, and the original Charlotte’s Web.

A non-musical you might like is In and Out, where she plays Kevin Kline's mother as Kevin is wrestling with coming out of the closet. It's not as serious as that sounds -- it is a lot more like a 1930s screwball comedy, and she is great in it. (Everyone is, including Tom Selleck playing a gay newsman.)

While I adore Debbie, I'm still trying to wrap my head around Carrie's death. It's going to be a while before I can accept that one. She's been part of my life since I stood in a hellish long line at the theater just to see Star Wars when it first came out.
