One of the most delightful people to ever grace the stage. Debbie Reynolds was a very special person and was blessed to go be with her daughter Carrie only one day after Carrie’s tragic passing. God must have honored Debbie’s prayer.❤️
Another beautiful tribute Jerry. I saw Todd's interview about the book he wrote and it was so sweet how he said it was okay that his mom went to be with Carrie because he knew she needed Debbie more than he did. That Carrie had always had a problem of being lonely and scared in the world but he was secure & able to be alone. His mother understood this. She didn't want Carrie to be afraid or alone so she went on ahead to be with Carrie. He said it was okay he wasn't hurt. I thought what an amazing young man how he could accept that his mother believed in him so much she could leave him, to go permanently from his life till death brought them together again so the weakest child wouldn't be alone. I guess Debbie had figured out what was really wrong with Carrie all those years that caused the alcohol & drug addiction. There's always a reason psychologically behind it, you just have to figure out why. Once you find that out, you're able fight it, to hopefully prevent the problem by taking precautionary steps against having those feelings overwhelm you again. I guess Debbie didn't want Carrie to be overwhelmed again.
'The Unsinkable Molly Brown', what a movie that was!! Nothing comes out of Hollywood like that any more! We love you Debbie, Z Thank you for all you gave!!! Rest in peace, you were a gift!
How could anybody put a thumbs down on his biography of Debbie Reynolds and her daughter Carrie. This was a very heart warming ❤️ program. Thank you so much for sharing.
So many people watch the marvelous performances, wild shenanigans, and shining talents of certain performers -- and Debbie Reynolds is one of the finest. Those same people never realize that all he glamor is a facade, and behind it, those who take part are just people. But EXCEPTIONAL people, who both persevere and suffer to attain the heights they reach. Love ya, Debbie. William Childress
I remember Debbie Reynolds in the 1960's and she was a huge star back then! I thought Debbie Reynolds was such a great star! I loved her! I could not believe it when she said that due to her husband Karl she ended up living in her car! Yet she would show up on late night shows beautifully dressed like a movie star! No one knew the trouble she was having! RIP Debbie!
A remarkable story of two very talented and interesting women, and of the strong, unbreakable bond between mother and daughter. Somehow, it seems fitting that Debbie followed Carrie. I do feel great sympathy for Todd’s loss. May both Carrie and Debbie Rest In Peace.
Hi Jerry, Terrific piece of work here. It shows that fame and wealth really mean nothing but trouble for a great many of these people. I like the simple life and appreciate everyday things. Sea Fishing is my main hobby and fresh air and the scenery are free, yet make me the most happiest. Thanks Jerry for your stellar work here. Steve in Scotland.
Helen Perez one of the memorable quotes of My mother She lost my oldest brother about 2 days after his birth , and My next oldest brother in 1995. "A parent should never outlive a child!"
Excuse me for not knowing, but I'm a sexagenarian (which is another word for OLD), but when you put my name down.... does that mean you agree with me??
What a poignant and beautifully crafted documentary short. It was a respectful touch to share what happened to the men in Debbie Reynold's life and especially to pay tribute to her remarkably talented daughter, Carrie. Thank you for putting this together and for the work put into it.
Bruce B Chin - I didn’t care for Carrie, her mother Debbie was wonderful but spoiled Carrie feeling guilty not being there for her, but she had to work!
I wanted to add my voice to others to simply say Thank You. You took a challenging and complicated storyline and shared it with pace and grace. Your stories share the human condition with reverence and perspective which you don't find very often these days. All-the-Best...
Jerry Skinner this video pop-up on my RUclips suggestions and I am glad it did. I absolutely loved Debbie Reynold and I read everything about her followed her life as one would a "favorite movie actress life". Her life was hard but it is amazing how she came back stronger after every heartache. I remember so well that I did not like her selection of husbands, but Debbie was in love and as they say "love is blind". She was beautiful, talented, witty, lovely sweet voice and an amazing smile. The ending though very sad; she got to go hand in hand with Carrie towards a beautiful heavenly place. What a lovely tribute, you made my day. Take care ...Elizabeth Cantarell
This was a sad story. But you tell it so well. I wish Debbie Reynolds could’ve found happiness with the right man. But luckily, due to her determination and resolve, she managed to pick up the pieces and keep it moving. I have a lot of respect for her. Thanks Jerry, for making this documentary. I really enjoy all of your documentaries.
Thanks Jerry I knew we could count on you to give us a great video biography on Debby, she will be missed. Great job as always, you have a great voice for narration you should be working for TV making documentaries.
I will listen later. Adding it to my listen later playlist ! Just wanted to say thank you for doing a bio on her. You are the one guy who is so good at these. I know ahead of time I will enjoy it.
This is one of the most beautiful tributes I have ever heard or saw on Debbie Reynolds. What a great job.Jerry has done here. I would rather hear Jerry's voice doing something like this than all the rest. Amen Debbie Reynolds - you did the best you could do.
Very touching. I think most people my age (31) were big Carrie Fisher fans because they loved Star Wars but I never got into it. Who I did love was Debbie Reynolds who I knew through her older movies, her modern movies & of course “Halloweentown”. My favorite Debbie performance is a comedy movie called “Mother” from 1996 co-starting Albert Brooks. It’s HILARIOUS! A newly divorced adult son & writer moves in with his neurotic, cooky mother. He teaches her to enjoy life more. It’s basically mother & son getting to know & respect each other as adults. Its heartwarming & funny. I’m sure Billie Lourd will have a career her mother Carrie & grandmother Debbie would be proud of. I was sad to see either of them go but at least they’re together now. 💚
Such a beautiful lady and talented actress , how sad that her men ruined her life and left her penniless but thankfully she had no problem acting and straightened herself out again ! What a bittersweet life ! Rip Debbie and Carrie ❤️
well, Eddie had five wives and it seems the last one was the charm. He never quit looking for that perfect woman. He had a long life and he had a relationship with his kids. I think he did OK. Leaving Debbie for Liz was very tacky and low, but some men cannot control their urges. Elizabeth Taylor was a dream. He said she was the love of his life. Served him right, she dumped him for Burton. Ha ! his life was busy and complicated but he kept on marrying again and again.......He needed support !
Diana Beurman. As you mentioned the word "DESERVED'" here is something for you to think about. Someone thinks we must pay for the privilege of living ... who? How did this ever come about? How could we ever have fallen for this nonsense? Someone on this plane(t?) had the most brilliant, scathing idea in the history of mankind - to appeal to our egotistical belief that we are all guilty and deserve punishment, that we are something other than who we truly are ... and CAPITALIZED upon it. There were also a few tyrants in history who also thought some people Deserved some kind of torture or death ... All the ays from the Church to the Nazis and to George Bush. Are you placing yourself in their category be deciding that someone DESERVES some kind of punishment? Are you placing yourself above the creator of all things who has the ultimate decision? Judgment day will come for ALL of us including you. Best to stay away from the FRONT ROW.
@Odette Widdicombe...only if they were both supernaturally (from Jesus) born again of the Spirit (as Jesus tells) and walking with Him daily in obedience. I don't know if they got saved and born again.
Elizabeth Taylor stole her husband. It's not as if Taylor couldn't have gotten another man, she was stunning. It never ceases to amaze me, why someone would end another's marriage. It shows a callous attitude to anyone else's unhappiness. I watched the Tammy films over and over when I was young. Debbie was such a sweet person. And the bond between mother and daughter was unbroken, when they went to Heaven days apart. RIP to both..
Exceptional, entertaining, and educational film....good narration. Packed so much fascinating information in less than 30 mins! Follow ups on past husbands, and Elizabeth Taylor was unexpected and added to the documentary. Excellent choice of pictures, music was unobtrusive. Covering details about her poor humble beginnings, conservative religious upbringing and how her mother reacted to her daughter’s involvement with the film industry answered some question. Debbie apparently having to sleep in her Cadillac due to her husband spending her money is shocking. Having a past experience with a narcissist makes me wonder if she wasn’t exposed to several....they are indeed charmers. (RUclips has excellent videos on the subject by Dr. Grande and Dr. Ramani). Thank you for one of the most well done documentaries I’ve seen in a long while!
that last man of Debbie's was a complete dirtbag eh. She didn't have bad taste in men.. the options are very limited as a celebrity.. for authenticity.
A friend and I once had front-row seats at Debbie's show which was very enjoyable. Such a huge star and a down-to-earth personable person. At the show end , she was holding a bouquet of roses close to the stage front , I had one of her first books and walked up to the stage held it open , pen in hand, and asked if I could have her autograph please. Holding a bouquet of roses, she leaned over and scribbled her name inside the front cover, it being barely legible because of the circumstances but a wonderful keepsake..
Debbies life was tragic, too trusting of terrible men, I don’t see where Carries life was tragic, she was a drug addict, her choice, which was another tragedy for Debbie
J Lee yes. We have heartstrings, for want of a better term. Fibrous Attachments that keep our hearts firm and together. In times of incredible grief, sadness, or stress, these heartstrings can break. Ergo....heartbreak.
I appreciate this tender and truthful Bio of Debbie. I grew up watching her in films. I didn't know many of the details that you talked about concerning the last two husbands and its saddens me to know she never really found true love from the men she married. Yet she seemed to have a loving heart in spite of that. Thank you for the touching memory of Debbie Reynolds you have left for us all who watch this.
You are a wonderful story teller. I learned so much, and interesting about Paul Simon and Graceland. That lasting image was priceless and helps to soften the grief in your ending narrative. You have integrity and a sensitivity and shares the facts in an unbiased way. Brilliant.
What a precious tribute to Debbie and Carrie, how sad but Carrie was waiting for her mom and knew Debbie would be joining her shortly. They are now together forever and Debbie made sure Carrie would not be alone. Thanks Jerry.
I had to leave it a few days before watching this, because I know how moving your shows are. This was way beyond touching, and your shows are so well crafted, that I can imagine this is the most fitting tribute on the planet. I had to sit in silence for a while afterwards, and still a bit in shock. I had a chance to see These Old Broads last year, and I'm glad the Golden Era Golden Girls made up and made friends.
@LemonTubeAmiga, I heard about Debbie, and Elizabeth's friendship, the end, and of the reconciliation. I am so glad they reconciled. I may sound a little wicked, but I was more than a little glad that they had lunch together and had laughs all at Eddie Fisher's expense😈
I was very Blessed to Have had Mary Frances (Debbie) Reynold's become My "Aunt Debbie" after my Father passed away in 1969. Losing Both Her and Carrie in December was Devastating To Me. I was very touched by Jerry Skinner's very accurate account of My Aunt's life. There are some "typo's" lol but this Tribute was a Wonderful "Trip Down Memory Lane" For me. Some of the Personal pictures used I haven't seen in many many years. I had a very special place in my Heart for Debbie's Dad, My Buddy Ray or Grandpa. He always made me feel very Loved as did Debbie. Not so much Maxine when I was a child, but when I was older we had a nice friendship. I Never knew Eddie because Todd and Carrie did not have a Real Relationship with him until her daughter Billie was born. I was pretty much "out of the picture" at that point. My Aunt Debbie was born on April Fools Day and Unfortunately she was very foolish in her choice in men. However, Deb was "Nobody's Fool". She was one of the MOST LOVING & GIVING People EVER To Grace This EARTH. Her Kindness Towards Other's, as Is Too often the case was Mistaken For Weakness By Weak and Spineless People. Thank You Mr. Jerry Skinner For This TREAT ! I So Appreciate It !
Bruce, thank you so very much for your kind words. I know it is good for many of Debbies fans to know how wonderful she was, especially from someone who knows. Thank you again. Jerry
That was really bad for those men to take advantage of her, but on the other side,her life shows what a kind person she was, I thought Carrie and Paul Simon made a good couple
Thank you so much Bruce for the beautiful words and picture of such a Beautiful person and Actress as it always showed through the camera of every film she did. As a young child in elementary school going to watch, “HowThe West Was Won,” I feel in love with her and now that I am getting older, I am still in love with her. Her great qualities always came through and Carie was so fortunate to have her. Thanks again Mr. Skinner for your well done documentaries on these great actors that have given us everything,even though they had sacrificed their own family experience.
I have been a fan of Debbie's since the mid 50's. She was such a nice person as well as talented. Being so nice, she did not receive any niceness from men in her life.
Jerry, your voice is absolutely beautiful. Fantastic job. A lot of rich, famous woman marry men who turn out to be monsters. People are very judgmental about it but they don't realize what good actors these psychopaths are! If one sets his sights on you, it is very difficult not to fall for them. Debbie kept her sense of humor and her dignity - wonderful lady.
Thank you for this...Debbie Reynolds and Doris Day were alot more sassy and tough than their screen images portrayed...to survive the abusive marriages they both went through shows grit.
Wow, I had not a single clue. Once again Jerry, you have amazed me. Thanks for doing the leg work and far greater, the amazing job on producing a quality channel. I have no higher regard.
I don't care how wonderful they go on about Elizabeth Taylor! Breaking up a home with two babies is WRONG! I do not respect Taylor for that! Such a good friend, right!
It was Liz's career that was badly damaged.. Eddie's was ruined.. Debbie's just kept growing and outlasted Liz's.. Eddie had a great voice but he was not a great human being..
Jerry this one has to be your very best one that you made. What a wonderful but sad life she lived. This Biography was so good I watched it twice. This Biography was said from the heart. People that are beautiful (inside outside) scare bad men away. Eddie Fisher was a Fisher of Women and hurt every Woman he married. Her beauty was deep. I always looked forward to her advice in the tabloids each month. Great loss to the World! In my opinion: Debbie Reynolds inner Beauty surpast Elizabeth Taylor's outer beauty.
Thank you Jerry for this documentary. I learned a lot of things I did not know. My mom was very fond of Debbie and I really liked her daughter Carrie. It doesn't matter how famous you are you are not immune from misfortune and calamity. Thanks again Jerry.
Such a well done, truly moving tribute. Debbie and Carrie both brought as much joy to my life as all other actresses combined. I grew up watching many of Debbie’s reruns, The Unsinkable Molly Brown one of my all time favorites, and later on my children’s... the original VHS I bought for them has made several moves with me and I doubt I’ll ever part with it even though the cassette is obsolete. There was something very special about her. People who have sweet spirits like she did often get blindsided by manipulators because their minds just don’t go there - they can’t imagine people acting so despicably. She really was a remarkable woman. Eddie was right about one thing - Elizabeth Taylor sure didn’t deserve to be treated any better than he was treated. Women who cheat are just as bad, worse if it’s with their best friend’s husband. Men can’t cheat if there aren’t willing women. Carrie’s Postcards from the Edge was brilliant and no one could make me laugh like Carrie when she was filmed just being herself. I often think about Todd and hope he’s doing well. Such a unique and interesting family. Thank you for sharing this very special gift with all of us, Mr. Skinner. I really appreciate it.
Debbie Reynolds was a mutil talented, beautiful, graceful, loving, forgiving lady. She was sheer class. And yes, she died of a broken heart and worrying that Carrie would be alone.
I admired the way in which you told the story of Debbie's life. What hardship on the formative years and resilience to get on. But what tragedies there lay in store with those rocky marriages and the heels she chose for his husbands. Not the only star to have had her fortune dissipated by worthless creeps. I did feel for her. And wanted better choices to be made in this area, but she did what she felt was right at the time. And time is a great agent for regret. I have to thank you for the story of her life that was lived to the full.
Debbie Reynolds was among the 'Best of the Best' and will still be remembered two centuries from now. I distinctly remember the news report of her passing, just after the death of Carrie. It was heartbreaking.
This is a wonderful documentary. Thank you for sharing all of this with us. I remember all of the news articles at those times over the years.. A movie star’s life is not easy. Being an actress is hard work. One has to be always working. Debbie Reynold’s truly a survivor. In many, many ways. Debbie, was meant to be with Carrie. When she passed away suddenly. This is Truly a mother/daughter devotion, & love story
The men in her life were douches, with the exception of her son. Interesting the relationship between her and Carrie...such a special bond so much so that Debbie did not want to live without here. I like Debbie's movies...they made me feel happy. I hope their soul and spirit have or will reunite.
@@curbozer5006 This is no w ay disrespects Debbie, but when thinking about her choosing the men who were all wrong for her the song "Looking For Love" by Johnny Lee comes to mind. It contains the lyric, "Looking for love in all the wrong places." It's very sad. I do see your point. though. One would wonder how and why women keep going to the same type of guy who will only hurt her again and again.
One of the loveliest person I ever seen in the movies. I loved her so much, I begged my Mom to name my baby sister Tammy. She was one of the most determined hard working women I ever saw. She tried so hard to please those idiot husbands of hers and every time they would do her wrong. Thank you Jerry it's always a pleasure to listen to your stories, you do them so well. Have a wonderful Christmas, and new year.
One of the most delightful people to ever grace the stage. Debbie Reynolds was a very special person and was blessed to go be with her daughter Carrie only one day after Carrie’s tragic passing. God must have honored Debbie’s prayer.❤️
Multi talented Debbie Reynolds was class, sheer class. They don't make them like that anymore. RIP. you've earned it.
Another beautiful tribute Jerry. I saw Todd's interview about the book he wrote and it was so sweet how he said it was okay that his mom went to be with Carrie because he knew she needed Debbie more than he did. That Carrie had always had a problem of being lonely and scared in the world but he was secure & able to be alone. His mother understood this.
She didn't want Carrie to be afraid or alone so she went on ahead to be with Carrie. He said it was okay he wasn't hurt. I thought what an amazing young man how he could accept that his mother believed in him so much she could leave him, to go permanently from his life till death brought them together again so the weakest child wouldn't be alone. I guess Debbie had figured out what was really wrong with Carrie all those years that caused the alcohol & drug addiction.

Once you find that out, you're able fight it, to hopefully prevent the problem by taking precautionary steps against having those feelings overwhelm you again.

How could anybody put a thumbs down on his biography of Debbie Reynolds and her daughter Carrie. This was a very heart warming ❤️ program. Thank you so much for sharing.
That was the saddist story I have EVER heard! All she wanted was for someone to love her the way she loved them. God bless you little Angel.
Thank you very much Jerry Skinner... for all your fine biographies.

I remember when Eddie Fisher divorced her for Elizabeth Taylor , Fisher was the most hated man in America .
He deserted Mike Todds’ trust. Even tho Todd had tragically passed away, the trust should have lasted a lifetime.

Can't believe all these scumbag men hurting Debbie! Heartbreaking! 💔
Unbelievable highs & devastating lows. What an indomitable couple Debbie & Carrie were.
Thanks Mr Skinner for another beautiful tribute.

Hi Jerry,
Terrific piece of work here. It shows that fame and wealth really mean nothing but trouble for a great many of these people. I like the simple life and appreciate everyday things.

Thanks Jerry for your stellar work here.

Steve in Scotland......Right on Steve. Their lifestyle was merely a copy of their work, playacting. Not a real fulfilling life.
Oh my heart is breaking, i cant imagine losing one of my daughters! Its unnatural for a parent to lose a child. Rest in Peace Ladies
Helen Perez one of the memorable quotes of My mother She lost my oldest brother about 2 days after his birth , and My next oldest brother in 1995. "A parent should never outlive a child!"

Eddie Fisher wasn't man enough for Liz, hell, Eddie Fisher wasn't man enough for Debbie!
As popular a singer as Eddie Fisher was, when he mistreated Debbie, I swore I would never again play or hear his records.
Weak, cowardly men only know how to flatter, not commit

Great tribute to a very classy lady.....Thanks Jerry!

How heartbreaking to hear that Carrie and Todd slept on Debbie's floor just to be near her!! I teared up when he said that..
This is one of the most beautiful tributes I have ever heard or saw on Debbie Reynolds. What a great job.Jerry has done here. I would rather hear Jerry's voice doing something like this than all the rest. Amen Debbie Reynolds - you did the best you could do.

Thank you for such a beautiful tribute.
It kind of went from Debbie Reynolds to "The Eddie Fisher story"...glad you made it back to Debbie.
I think he played such a big role in her and her kids' personal life not to mention her best friend. It would be hard to separate it out.
I think he did an awesome job of blending everyone in!

EDDIE DESERVED WHAT HE GOT!! I MET DEBBIE SEVERAL YEARS AGO SHE WAS SO SWEET AND KIND TO MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF.

As you mentioned the word "DESERVED'" here is something for you to think about.
Someone thinks we must pay for the privilege of living ... who?
How did this ever come about?
How could we ever have fallen for this nonsense?
Someone on this plane(t?) had the most brilliant, scathing idea in the history of mankind - to appeal to our egotistical belief that we are all guilty and deserve punishment, that we are something other than who we truly are ... and CAPITALIZED upon it.
There were also a few tyrants in history who also thought some people Deserved some kind of torture or death ... All the ays from the Church to the Nazis and to George Bush.
Are you placing yourself in their category be deciding that someone DESERVES some kind of punishment?
Are you placing yourself above the creator of all things who has the ultimate decision?
Judgment day will come for ALL of us including you.

you must be one of Debbie step daughters. What a great woman she was.
Elizabeth Taylor stole her husband. It's not as if Taylor couldn't have gotten another man, she was stunning. It never ceases to amaze me, why someone would end another's marriage.

I had no idea of the tragic life of Debbie, and her daughter Carrie. May they lovingly rest in peace.

Debbies life was tragic, too trusting of terrible men, I don’t see where Carries life was tragic, she was a drug addict, her choice, which was another tragedy for Debbie
She died from a broken ❤️ and yes, people do die from the pain of having their heart be broken...
Yes They Can Die From A Broken Heart, Is Much Worse Then People Understand
Yes, I agree
An actual medical heart condition called "Takotusubo cardiomyopathy"
Edit: heart for "hear"
J Lee yes. We have heartstrings, for want of a better term. Fibrous Attachments that keep our hearts firm and together. In times of incredible grief, sadness, or stress, these heartstrings can break. Ergo....heartbreak.

I appreciate this tender and truthful Bio of Debbie. I grew up watching her in films. I didn't know many of the details that you talked about concerning the last two husbands and its saddens me to know she never really found true love from the men she married. Yet she seemed to have a loving heart in spite of that. Thank you for the touching memory of Debbie Reynolds you have left for us all who watch this.
Jerry, once again your outstanding stories of people have made us all go back in time and remember only good things. Bless you, brother.
You are a wonderful story teller. I learned so much, and interesting about Paul Simon and Graceland. That lasting image was priceless and helps to soften the grief in your ending narrative. You have integrity and a sensitivity and shares the facts in an unbiased way. Brilliant.
What a precious tribute to Debbie and Carrie, how sad but Carrie was waiting for her mom and knew Debbie would be joining her shortly. They are now together forever and Debbie made sure Carrie would not be alone. Thanks Jerry.
I had to leave it a few days before watching this, because I know how moving your shows are. This was way beyond touching, and your shows are so well crafted, that I can imagine this is the most fitting tribute on the planet. I had to sit in silence for a while afterwards, and still a bit in shock. I had a chance to see These Old Broads last year, and I'm glad the Golden Era Golden Girls made up and made friends.
@LemonTubeAmiga, I heard about Debbie, and Elizabeth's friendship, the end, and of the reconciliation. I am so glad they reconciled. I may sound a little wicked, but I was more than a little glad that they had lunch together and had laughs all at Eddie Fisher's expense😈
I was very Blessed to Have had Mary Frances (Debbie) Reynold's become My "Aunt Debbie" after my Father passed away in 1969. Losing Both Her and Carrie in December was Devastating To Me. I was very touched by Jerry Skinner's very accurate account of My Aunt's life. There are some "typo's" lol but this Tribute was a Wonderful "Trip Down Memory Lane" For me. Some of the Personal pictures used I haven't seen in many many years. I had a very special place in my Heart for Debbie's Dad, My Buddy Ray or Grandpa. He always made me feel very Loved as did Debbie. Not so much Maxine when I was a child, but when I was older we had a nice friendship. I Never knew Eddie because Todd and Carrie did not have a Real Relationship with him until her daughter Billie was born. I was pretty much "out of the picture" at that point. My Aunt Debbie was born on April Fools Day and Unfortunately she was very foolish in her choice in men. However, Deb was "Nobody's Fool". She was one of the MOST LOVING & GIVING People EVER To Grace This EARTH. Her Kindness Towards Other's, as Is Too often the case was Mistaken For Weakness By Weak and Spineless People. Thank You Mr. Jerry Skinner For This TREAT ! I So Appreciate It !
Bruce, thank you so very much for your kind words. I know it is good for many of Debbies fans to know how wonderful she was, especially from someone who knows. Thank you again. Jerry
That was really bad for those men to take advantage of her, but on the other side,her life shows what a kind person she was, I thought Carrie and Paul Simon made a good couple
That is so sweet and so nice to hear from someone close how much it meant to you.
I love that you've commented xxx
Thank you so much Bruce for the beautiful words and picture of such a Beautiful person and Actress as it always showed through the camera of every film she did. As a young child in elementary school going to watch, “HowThe West Was Won,” I feel in love with her and now that I am getting older, I am still in love with her.
Her great qualities always came through and Carie was so fortunate to have her.
Thanks again Mr. Skinner for your well done documentaries on these great actors that have given us everything,even though they had sacrificed their own family experience.
Amazing story Jerry and well done ! Thanks
Thank you Herb, good to see you are still keeping Texas safe. Thank you my friend. Jerry
Jerry Skinner not interested in any of this stuff.
Herb Walker n

So sickening that these jackasses and con men took so much from her.
I have been a fan of Debbie's since the mid 50's. She was such a nice person as well as talented. Being so nice, she did not receive any niceness from men in her life.
My heart hurts from the pain she went through when Carrie died. Both were beautiful and now together ❤️
That is really true, you can die when you feel that a person that you really love pass away, beautiful documentary thank you.
She Debbie wanted to come home
with her daughter. Her men has all
chated on her both in love and money.😗❤💋Rest in peace.🍃
Hello 👋 good morning
Thanks Jerry. Your narrations are always great and interesting.
Jerry, you out did yourself on this one. All your vids are great, but this one is on a higher level.
Thanks. I'd love to see you do a tribute to Shirley Temple, you do such a good job. Best wishes from Scotland.
Thank you Oliver. Jerry
👋😊🇱🇷
As always "excellent work", you always amaze me with all the details. Its alway a joy to watch your work.....good day to you... Sass
Jerry, your voice is absolutely beautiful. Fantastic job. A lot of rich, famous woman marry men who turn out to be monsters. People are very judgmental about it but they don't realize what good actors these psychopaths are! If one sets his sights on you, it is very difficult not to fall for them. Debbie kept her sense of humor and her dignity - wonderful lady.
They will be missed .May you rest in peace.
Thank you for this...Debbie Reynolds and Doris Day were alot more sassy and tough than their screen images portrayed...to survive the abusive marriages they both went through shows grit.
I think these two ladies had to be a bit sassy in order to survive what they went through
They both chose to be with those loser guys that they helped support. The river runs deep.
Wow, I had not a single clue. Once again Jerry, you have amazed me. Thanks for doing the leg work and far greater, the amazing job on producing a quality channel. I have no higher regard.
Thank-you Jerry . Debby will always be Molly Brown to me , always "up" ! Heaven is lucky!
I don't care how wonderful they go on about Elizabeth Taylor! Breaking up a home with two babies is WRONG! I do not respect Taylor for that! Such a good friend, right!
Griffith Williams Totally concur with you!
Love from Miami ✨✌🏼
Elizabeth Anderson yeah
It was Liz's career that was badly damaged.. Eddie's was ruined.. Debbie's just kept growing and outlasted Liz's.. Eddie had a great voice but he was not a great human being..
Jerry this one has to be your very best one that you made.
What a wonderful but sad life she lived.
This Biography was so good I watched it twice. This Biography was said from the heart.
People that are beautiful (inside outside) scare bad men away. Eddie Fisher was a Fisher of Women and hurt every Woman he married. Her beauty was deep. I always looked forward to her advice in the tabloids each month. Great loss to the World!
In my opinion: Debbie Reynolds inner Beauty surpast Elizabeth Taylor's outer beauty.
Thanks Jerry, what a wonderful, strong woman. Great job sir.
Sir you have the upmost class & respect on how you report on all celebrities.
Thank you Jerry for this documentary. I learned a lot of things I did not know. My mom was very fond of Debbie and I really liked her daughter Carrie. It doesn't matter how famous you are you are not immune from misfortune and calamity. Thanks again Jerry.
Such a well done, truly moving tribute. Debbie and Carrie both brought as much joy to my life as all other actresses combined. I grew up watching many of Debbie’s reruns, The Unsinkable Molly Brown one of my all time favorites, and later on my children’s... the original VHS I bought for them has made several moves with me and I doubt I’ll ever part with it even though the cassette is obsolete. There was something very special about her. People who have sweet spirits like she did often get blindsided by manipulators because their minds just don’t go there - they can’t imagine people acting so despicably. She really was a remarkable woman. Eddie was right about one thing - Elizabeth Taylor sure didn’t deserve to be treated any better than he was treated. Women who cheat are just as bad, worse if it’s with their best friend’s husband. Men can’t cheat if there aren’t willing women. Carrie’s Postcards from the Edge was brilliant and no one could make me laugh like Carrie when she was filmed just being herself. I often think about Todd and hope he’s doing well. Such a unique and interesting family. Thank you for sharing this very special gift with all of us, Mr. Skinner. I really appreciate it.
Fantastic Jerry total class all the way as always
An amazing tribute...
Thank you so much.
I always look forward to your videos!
:)
2018 prophecies of mark Taylor
Debbie Reynolds was a mutil talented, beautiful, graceful, loving, forgiving lady. She was sheer class. And yes, she died of a broken heart and worrying that Carrie would be alone.
Meir Wise yup
Hi Jerry,
Excellent as usual, Thank you very much, I enjoyed it, but I am still very sad for their losses. Take care of yourself ok? Anne
I admired the way in which you told the story of Debbie's life. What hardship on the formative years and resilience to get on. But what tragedies there lay in store with those rocky marriages and the heels she chose for his husbands. Not the only star to have had her fortune dissipated by worthless creeps. I did feel for her. And wanted better choices to be made in this area, but she did what she felt was right at the time. And time is a great agent for regret. I have to thank you for the story of her life that was lived to the full.
This is a great tribute to her and the same excellence in presentation and content that we have come to expect from you Jerry.
Her choices in men 😥, my goodness I was hoping to hear life was better for her after the betrayal. Sad. .RIP mother and daughter🙏
Your biographies are better then A&E. Thank you for being a beautiful voice in a world full of same ole same oles.

Glad that Eddie Fischer had Karma not on his door when Liz screws him over for Richard Burton
Thanks so much, Jerry. I love all of your presentations!
A mothers love ❤ Thank you again Jerry for a phenomenal documentary.
DEBBIE REYNOLDS WAS A TRUE TAlent. She could act, dance, and sing👍
"
What a lovely story, so sad. So much life. I loved Debbie Reynolds.
Debbie Reynolds was among the 'Best of the Best' and will still be remembered two centuries from now.
I distinctly remember the news report of her passing, just after the death of Carrie.
It was heartbreaking.
This is a wonderful documentary. Thank you for sharing all of this with us. I remember all of the news articles at those times over the years..
A movie star’s life is not easy. Being an actress is hard work. One has to be always working. Debbie Reynold’s truly a survivor. In many, many ways. Debbie, was meant to be with Carrie. When she passed away suddenly. This is Truly a mother/daughter devotion, & love story
The men in her life were douches, with the exception of her son. Interesting the relationship between her and Carrie...such a special bond so much so that Debbie did not want to live without here. I like Debbie's movies...they made me feel happy. I hope their soul and spirit have or will reunite.
Really get sick of quality women choosing douchbag men ...it is hard to feel sorry for any woman who does that, over and over!
Her son sounds like a wonderful person. Those ex-husbands of hers were HORRIBLE!!!
@@curbozer5006 This is no w ay disrespects Debbie, but when thinking about her choosing the men who were all wrong for her the song "Looking For Love" by Johnny Lee comes to mind. It contains the lyric, "Looking for love in all the wrong places." It's very sad. I do see your point. though. One would wonder how and why women keep going to the same type of guy who will only hurt her again and again.
Debbie got a raw deal life isn’t fair is it
One of the loveliest person I ever seen in the movies. I loved her so much, I begged my Mom to name my baby sister Tammy. She was one of the most determined hard working women I ever saw. She tried so hard to please those idiot husbands of hers and every time they would do her wrong. Thank you Jerry it's always a pleasure to listen to your stories, you do them so well. Have a wonderful Christmas, and new year.
