00:00Shock and sadness tonight over the death of Hollywood icon Debbie Reynolds.
00:04On December 28th, 2016, the legendary performer Debbie Reynolds died.
00:10Just one day after her daughter, the actress and writer Carrie Fisher.
00:15Carrie was the apple of her eye.
00:18Debbie had been charming audiences for over six decades.
00:21When she gave a performance, she did with her full heart and soul.
00:25After finding fame with Singing in the Rain, she became Hollywood's golden girl.
00:30Her joy was to entertain. That's what she loved to do.
00:34But her personal life was plagued with difficulties.
00:37To have your dear friend Elizabeth Taylor take your husband, wow, that had to be tough.
00:44I just seemed to have very poor taste in men.
00:47Then, after decades of worry about her daughter's mental illness.
00:51Of course, when you're her mother, it's a heartbreak and it's constant worry.
00:55Her worst nightmare came true.
00:57Actress and writer Carrie Fisher has died at age 60.
01:01If anyone ever died of a broken heart, believe me, it was Debbie.
01:05Because she adored her daughter.
01:07When Debbie Reynolds died just a day after her daughter Carrie,
01:11there was much speculation that she died of a broken heart.
01:15Her official cause of death was a stroke, which isn't uncommon for a woman of 84.
01:20But did the shock of her daughter's death play a part?
01:24Or was Debbie's death so soon after Carrie's simply a tragic coincidence?
01:30The End
01:34The End
01:35The End
01:36The End
