From Publishers Weekly: "Debbie (nee Mary Frances) Reynolds was born in 1932, grew up poor in Texas and California, was crowned 'Miss Burbank' at age 16. In her memoir, written with freelancer Columbia, the performer strongly resembles 'The Unsinkable Molly Brown,' one of her notable film roles. She is ebullient, feisty and outspoken in revelations about herself and others. She recalls, for example, that as a 19-year-old raw talent in 1951 she had to endure Gene Kelly's furious complaints of her ineptness while filming the classic Singin' in the Rain. But she treasures memories of Fred Astaire, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra and other luminaries, even the oft-maligned 'Mr. Mayer' of MGM. Eddie Fisher, who deserted her and their children to wed Elizabeth Taylor, is dealt with harshly. So is Harry Karl, the actress's second husband who, she maintains, squandered all his money and hers, leaving her to pay staggering debts. But the 'unsinkable' here assures her fans that she is now happily married and still performing as a singer, comedienne, dancer and actress on stage, TV and in night clubs. Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc." Reynolds is the mother of Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher, Princess Leia. SIGNED by the AUTHOR. Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. 446pp. . Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

Reviews
Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Ex-tomboy Frannie (Mary Frances Reynolds) entered (to get the clothing prizes), and won, Miss Burbank as a poor 16-year-old, and also got a film contract. A contemporary of Liz Taylor, Robert Wagner, and others, Reynolds tells how she always focused on hard work and dedication to win the respect of her peers and fans. Though frank in her account of two failed marriages despite her best efforts, financial troubles, and problems with her stepchildren, she comes across as a gutsy woman in this upbeat book. Despite her insights into many Hollywood names, this is not a "kiss and tell" book; it is, at times, an appealing autobiography. Rebecca Sturm, Northern Kentucky Univ. Lib., Highland Heights
