Debbie Reynolds was an actress from the 1940s until her untimely passing in 2016. She was born Mary Frances Reynolds in El Paso, Texas in 1932. Her family moved to Burbank, California when she was 7. When she was 16 and still in high school, she won the Miss Burbank Beauty Contest, as well as a contract with Warner Brothers, and they gave her a new first name. It wasn't until she was 18 that she got her first real role, and just two years later she was selected to play the lead in Singin' in the Rain! She later said "Singin' in the Rain and childbirth were the two hardest things I ever had to do in my life"! She starred in both musicals and non-musicals in the 1950s and 1960s and had a giant hit song with "Tammy" (from the movie Tammy and the Bachelor in 1957). She really stood out in The Unsinkable Molly Brown (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role) and How the West Was Won in 1968. She had a tumultuous private life! She had two children with first husband Eddie Fisher before he dumped her for recently widowed Liz Taylor, and second husband Harry Karl gambled away his fortune (and hers) and left her broke. Her daughter was Carrie Fisher, of Star Wars fame. When MGM insanely decided to auction off all its old props and costumes in 1970, Debbie saw this as a great opportunity, and she spent hundreds of thousands of dollars at the auction, including buying a pair of Ruby Red slippers for $15,000. She has had two different museums of her collection over the years. In 1991, she was trying to get her museum going, and she invited me to her house to talk about it. We sat in her little living room, her in her housecoat and scarf over her hair, and it was like just "one friend talking to another". Later, she invited my wife and me to dinner at a ritzy restaurant, and she showed up looking every bit the great Hollywood star she was. She went to the maitre d' and asked for a table, even though she had not made a reservation. He said, "I'm sorry, but we have no tables" and she said, "You know who I am, and I think you can find us a table", and he did!. She was a very fine lady who was supremely talented, and my heart goes out to her family. AND Carrie Fisher was an actress from the 1970s until her untimely passing in 2016. Of course she could never escape the one role she is most known for, playing Princess Leia in the Star Wars films. With her trademark "bagel bun" hair style, that role has been the source of countless parodies. Her private life has always been turbulent, starting from when she was the 3 year old daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, and he left her mom for Liz Taylor. She has a child by a man she didn't marry, and she was briefly married to singer Paul Simon. But in spite of these setbacks, she accomplished a great deal, writing several books (including Postcards From the Edge which was made into a movie), appeared in other movies, and worked as a screenwriter (sometimes uncredited), but she will surely forever be primarily remembered as the character she first played as a 20 year old! AND Meryl Streep is an actress from the 1970s to the present, who many consider to be the finest female movie actress ever, and she has many Academy Awards and nominations to back that up! Some of her movies include: Sophie's Choice (in her Best Actress Academy Award winning role), Manhattan, The Seduction of Joe Tynan, Postcards From The Edge (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), Silkwood (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award title role), Out Of Africa (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), Ironweed (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), Music Of The Heart (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), Julie & Julia (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), Iron Lady (in her Best Actress Academy Award winning role), Into The Woods (in her nominated for Best Supporting Actress Academy Award role), The French Lieutenant's Woman (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), Doubt (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), The Devil Wears Prada (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), Deer Hunter (in her nominated for Best Supporting Actress Academy Award role), Cry In The Dark (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), The Bridges Of Madison County (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), Adaptation (in her nominated for Best Supporting Actress Academy Award role), and Kramer Vs. Kramer (in her Best Supporting Actress Academy Award winning role) AND Shirley MacLaine is a legendary actress from the 1950s to the present. She is the sister of actor Warren Beatty. Some of her movies include: The Trouble with Harry, Turning Point (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), The Apartment, Being There, Irma La Douce (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), Some Came Running (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), and Terms Of Endearment (in her Best Actress Academy Award winning role)

Important Added Info: Note that this photo (which was taken at the premiere of Postcards From the Edge") was taken by "celebrity photographer" Peter C. Borsari. He was born in Switzerland in 1939, and starting in 1965, he became one of Hollywood's greatest celebrity photographers, and he was invited to all of Hollywood's premier events, where he was given access to take photographs of celebrities "behind the scenes", and he often contributed to People magazine, starting with the first issue, and having photographs in virtually every issue until the late 1990s, including many covers. His images were also used in all the other entertainment magazines and shown on television. He was also the exclusive photographer for the Playboy mansion special events and he photographed non-entertainment celebrities as well, including U.S. presidents, starting with Richard Nixon. He developed personal relationships with many celebrities and because they trusted him, and loved the photos he took, he would even photograph weddings and other personal events! This photo comes from his personal archive and is a first generation photo from when it was taken. It was used to lease the image to magazines (the photo would be sent to the magazine and the back often had credit and return information for Mr. Borsari. eMoviePoster.com is auctioning 42 photos from the Peter Borsari archive, in 42 separate auctions!
