Stunning Shocking News / myLot

Actress and Singer Debbie Reynolds, mother of Actress Carrie Fisher, died today at the age of 84. Just two days after her daughter, of a stroke. I just turned on the Internet and that was the news I read. I think Hollywood has been turned on its ear with all this sudden news and the Reynolds family is mourning a double loss. They will both be missed. I have an early date with the pool and have homework to do for my counseling. I'm going to bed while my mind tries to digest what happened this week. There are still some Hollywood legends and icons around yet, but they are growing thin in numbers. R.I.P. Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher Thanks for reading. See you tomorrow.

So do I. I'm still shocked by the news. It's so sad to have a mother and daughter so well loved by everyone, not just Hollywood to pass so close to each other.

@MarymargII The reason is quite simple if you think about how old most of them were. Some were born before World War 1 or 2 and were up there in age. Some were from the Baby Boomer age and we are also getting up there in age. It's the younger ones you don't like seeing go so young. We all have our time. There are still some icons around that are also up in age that I won't be surprised to hear about them in the future as well.

This is really sad to hear. Two in a row in a family is devastating .

I just heard this on the news about an hour ago. Debbie Reynolds was one of my favourites in my early teens. Losing her daughter like that was obviously too much for her.

A lot of that era of stars seems to be passing at the moment. I guess it has to be so.

I was thinking the same thing. There aren't many left, though two come to mind - Clint Eastwood and Kirk Douglas who just celebrated his 100th birthday. I'm sure there are others, but they are being thinned out.

@JudyEv I believe he is. He just turned 100 not too long ago.
