Debbie Reynolds dies, a day after daughter’s demise

According to Debbie’s son, she died of stroke, reports tmz.com. Debbie was rushed to a hospital shortly after 1 pm when someone at the  Beverly Hills home of her son, Todd, called 911 to report a possible stroke. 

According to tmz.com , Debbie and Todd were making funeral plans for Carrie, who died Tuesday of cardiac arrest. Debbie famously divorced Eddie Fisher in 1959 after his affair with Elizabeth Taylor. Debbie married two more times in 1960 and 1984. 

She played iconic roles in Tammy and the Bachelor and The Unsinkable Molly Brown for which she earned an Oscar nomination. 

Carrie’s relationship with Debbie was the focus of Carrie’s semi-autobiographical book, Postcards from the Edge , which was later adapted for the big screen, starring Meryl Streep and Shirley  MacLaine. Debbie is survived by her son Todd, who tells us, “She’s with Carrie.” 

The Hollywood fraternity is in a state of shock that one of the “last Hollywood royalty” is gone. Celebrities took it to Twitter to show their condolences. 

Ellen DeGeneres tweeted, “I can’t imagine what Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds’ family are going through this week. I send all of my love.”
