When I was doing theater in the 1950's, 60's and 70's we weren't allowed to film any of the shows that I did, it was against union rules. It was a stupid law, because so much is lost. We now have no record of these famous stage plays, so it turned out to be very narrow-minded thinking.

Every performer should learn a little bit of everything. Most performers today only play the guitar.

If I ever stop working, I might have a problem. But I never seem to be able to stop working.
Debbie Reynolds
Image
I loved Frank [O'Connor], he was wonderful...just don't get on his bad side. I don't think I would have wanted to marry him, but I probably should have since I married idiots anyway.
Debbie Reynolds
Image
You probably only know what you've read [about Marilyn Monroe].You didn't know her. The people who talk about her didn't know her either.
Debbie Reynolds
Image
I also have a pair of ruby red slippers from the 'Wizard of Oz' and Dorothy's gingham dress...and on and on. I saved as much as I could and still do, because people are still interested in it.

I'm not a cook and I always stick everything in the freezer and then I leave things out, saying 'if it's good today it will be good tomorrow.'
Debbie Reynolds

[Marilyn Monroe] was a bit temperamental, a little diva-like, but she didn't deserve what she got.

I'm not a big shoot-em-up, bang-bang. I like romantic films.

For 'Singin' in the Rain,' I bought most of the costumes - the 'Fit as a Fiddle' costumes and the 'Make Them Laugh' Donald O'Connor outfits and the 'Good Morning, Good Morning' clothes we danced in.
