RIP Debbie Reynolds. While we're still mourning the death of Carrie Fisher, her mother and veteran actress Debbie passed away on Wednesday night, December 28, hours after she was rushed to the hospital for a medical emergency. She was 84.
Her son Todd Fisher confirms the sad news to various outlets. He says that his mother missed Carrie and wanted to be with the "Star Wars" actress before she had a stroke. "I miss her so much, I want to be with Carrie," she allegedly said. "She went to be with Carrie. In fact, those were the last words she spoke this morning," Todd says.
Debbie had her breakout role when playing Helen Kane in 1950's film "Three Little Words", for which she was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Most Promising Newcomer. She rose to fame after starring in 1952's "Singin' in the Rain". Her other notable successes included "The Affairs of Dobie Gillis" (1953), "Susan Slept Here" (1954), "Bundle of Joy" (1956), "The Catered Affair" (1956) and "Tammy and the Bachelor" (1957).
A source previously said that Debbie was "under so much stress" while coping with the loss of her daughter.
Besides her son Todd, Debbie is survived by her granddaughter Billie Lourd, who is Carrie Fisher's daughter.
