Iconic actress Debbie Reynolds died Wednesday at the age of 84, one day after her daughter Carrie Fisher died after suffering a heart attack, her son Todd Fisher confirmed.

 

"She's now with Carrie and we're all heartbroken," Fisher said from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where his mother was taken by ambulance earlier Wednesday.

 

He said the stress of his sister's death "was too much" for Reynolds.

 

The entertainment website TMZ, without naming any sources, said Reynolds may have suffered a possible stroke. It also said she had been at her son Todd’s Beverly Hills home discussing funeral plans for Carrie when a call was made to 911.

 

Reynolds was not yet 20 when she won a starring role in the Gene Kelly musical "Singin' in the Rain." She was also known for her Oscar-nominated role in another musical, "The Unsinkable Molly Brown."

 

Her messy divorce from singer Eddie Fisher, who left her for Elizabeth Taylor, made tabloid headlines in the late 1950s.

There's nothing really shocking about it, the thing is that 2016 is the year that lots of the big names lots of us grew up knowing and loving have passed away, no doubt a few more will die in 2017 and 2018 and so on, it's inevitable at this point, everyone grows old, thing is many have died too young, prince, carrie, etc,   Dying under the age of 60 is just not something that should happen unless it's due to some accident.   At her age though, Debbie lived a long life, sad it had to end right after her daughters though, parents shouldn't outlive their kids.

    • Less powerful than a PS5 at twice the price! I wonder if they use that for marketing? Totally DoA.

    • How does it compare to the "SeeStar S30 Pro" and the "Vespera PRO 2"?
    • Indeed. And note that those units are MUCH cheaper than this new Steam Machine...ahem.
