I hope 2016 dies next.
http://www.vox.com/2016/12/28/14107714/ ... rie-fisherDebbie Reynolds, one of Hollywood’s most reliable entertainers for well over 60 years, has died after suffering a suspected stroke at 84 years old. Reynolds’ son Todd confirmed the news to Variety, saying, “She wanted to be with Carrie.”
The news comes as a particular shock this week, as Carrie Fisher — Reynolds’ daughter with singer Eddie Fisher — died on the 27th, just over 24 hours before her mother.
Reynolds first tap-danced her way into movie audiences’ hearts as the bright-eyed star of Singin’ in the Rain. The 1952 classic was a vehicle for Gene Kelly, but Reynolds more than held her own with an infectious joy, gamely keeping up with her 20-years-older co-stars with a grin — and she’d only learned to dance three months before.
