Private Screenings: Debbie Reynolds
During the interview, Reynolds discusses her film career, which began in 1948 when she was just 16 years old. She talks about her failed marriage to Eddie Fisher and how she has re-established a relationship with the woman that came between them, Elizabeth Taylor. She shares anecdotes from her first big film, the smash hit musical Singin' in the Rain, such as what it was like to be selected for the role of Kathy Selden, which was the first dancing role in a movie for the actress, as well as working with Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor. Reynolds also talks about how Kelly didn't want her to be cast in the film and the hard work and countless hours of rehearsal she underwent to try and please him.
