I was going to cite exact quotes from the book illustrating that second above mentioned "coping" skill, as there are numerous examples of how, right after a crisis, Debbie says something like, "so I decided to go to Hawaii on vacation instead of dealing with it," or "I miscarried a stillborn and just made my husband take care of everything all alone because I was just too devastated," but I'm too lazy.
And, while titled "Unsinkable" as a metaphor for both her self-proclaimed perseverance and as a tie to one of her more serious "young actress" roles as Molly Brown, I must say.anyone can "persevere" when they admittedly run to work to avoid their problems (and simultaneously be fed with audience adulation), demand that other people handle their problems, and/or borrow TONS of money from the bank and all their rich friends to pay for their problems. In fact, that seemed to be one of the main themes of the memoir and Debbie's life: nothing was ever her fault. And yet, she somehow manages to acknowledge these red flags in hindsight, whilst simultaneously taking none of the blame accountability for ignoring them at the time. Now, no matter how much he might deserve it, Debbie was met with numerous red flags before tying the knot with this loser.
Instead of the memoir I was expecting, we got about one thousand million pages of her endlessly extrapolating upon the vile creature that was her third husband. Not to be harsh, but Debbie Reynolds came off as being somewhat of a narcissist here. And actually really shed some further light on Carrie Fisher's childhood. Well, this book displayed none of those things. And which I described as having "wit, self-awareness, and self-deprecating sarcasm" in the best way possible. I read this on the immediate heels of Carrie Fisher's Wishful Drinking, which I really, really enjoyed. Her son, Todd Fisher later said Reynolds had been seriously impacted by her daughter's death, and grief was partially responsible for her stroke, noting that his mother had stated, "I want to be with Carrie," shortly before she died. The following day Reynolds suffered a stroke and died. On December 27, 2016, Reynolds's daughter, Carrie Fisher, died. Reynolds married twice more, both ending in divorce. Reynolds's first marriage, to popular singer Eddie Fisher, produced a son, Todd Fisher, and a daughter, Carrie Fisher, but ended in divorce in 1959 when Fisher fell in love with Reynolds's former (and later) friend Elizabeth Taylor. Reynolds received the SAG lifetime achievement award in January 2015. She was one of MGM’s principal stars of the 1950s and ’60s in such films as the 1952 classic “Singin’ in the Rain” and 1964’s “The Unsinkable Molly Brown,” for which she received an Oscar nomination as best actress. Debbie Reynolds was an Oscar-nominated American actress, singer, and dancer.
