Girl Scout makes good

Debbie Reynold's 1988 autobiography is the exciting, whirlwind story of her showbiz career and rocky personal life including her disastrous financial and husband-picking skills. Raised in poverty, she won a beauty pageant as a teenager; the prize was a screen test and the rest is history. One needn't be a big fan of Debbie's to enjoy the book; it is so well-written and so full of dramatic highs and lows that I think most people would enjoy it. I felt as though I grew up with Debbie via the pages of "Photoplay" magazine, but her memoir tells the real story behind the red carpets and glossy photos. She pulls no punches concerning her marriages to Eddie Fisher and Harry Karl as she vents her hatred toward them. Her long career as an entertainer is described in detail and her friends were the Who's Who of Hollywood's golden age. This life story is a real page-turner; I couldn't put it down. It would make a terrific movie, but who could ever match Debbie's boundless energy and timeless appeal? Highly recommended.

Debbie My Life

this was a gift to a true debbie reynolds fan and she was so excited to receive it. She is almost done reading and can't wait to see Debbie Reynolds live in our area next week.

ACTUALLY, A VERY NICE READ

First, I must state that I am not overly fond of autobiographies in general and celebrity autobiographies in particular. I found this one in a used book store and added it to my stack of finds on pure whim. I am very glad I did. The book was actually quite readable and very enjoyable. I have always enjoyed Ms. Reynolds' work and after reading her story, appreciate it, the work, even more. The books is salted with many fine photographs of the subjects life and work and are well placed. The narrative is easy to follow and as I said, "readable." Quite a fascinating life. All in all, if you are interested in such things, I highly recommend this one

WOW++++++++++++++++++++++

Debbie tells her story with great energy....just like she has in all aspects of her life.......you want to laugh and cry with her....she is honest about her life and those around her....you walk away feeling good........just like you do after you've seen her on stage......Bravo Debbie

The Most Fascinating Book I've Ever Read!

I was not able to put this book down! It is so wonderfully entertaining, just like Debbie Reynolds herself! "My Life" is full of great Hollywood stories and focuses on one of the most interesting stories I've ever heard--Debbie's life story. It's funny and it brings you right in, as though Debbie is telling you the story, not just writing it. I HIGHLY recommend this stellar book, "Debbie:My Life."
