My daughter, who is 35 this year, watched Singin' In the Rain (and Footloose) with a friend when she was about 12, so she loved Debbie too. After her show in Laughlin, she offered a meet-n-greet and if you had a program, you could get an autograph. I waited in line and got it signed and I gave it to my daughter. I saw her a couple more times at the Orleans Casino and she always talked and sang and showed video of herself etc. The last time I saw her was November 2014, at the SouthPointe Casino. There had been an article about her in the paper the week of which said she was going to retire and wouldn't be doing live shows anymore. She was 82 and it showed, although she still looked great. The newspaper article also said that Carrie and Todd and Billie were all going to be there with her. Carrie and Billie had just returned from months in London, filming the Star Wars movie and they both did a couple of songs. Todd showed some family videos and early stuff of hers and talked about the movie that was being made for HBO called Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds". It's an interesting movie. I saw it after both of them had passed and it was kind of sad but it’s worth seeing. Some of the footage was done at the last show in Las Vegas. And of course, what can I say about her role in Will and Grace. I loved that they had a picture of her on the wall in the most recent W&G episode.WMAdamzzzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14277414310451791955noreply@blogger.com
