Adina Porter: The Newsroom, True Blood and Motherhood
Who Should Play Christian & Anastasia In 'Fifty Shades Of Grey'?
When Debbie Reynolds reflects on her friend and former foe Elizabeth Taylor, her words are often brushed with bittersweet strokes. Speaking a day after the film icon's death, Reynolds calls Taylor "the most glamorous star of our generation" and notes that "women liked her and men adored her, including my husband." As the story goes, back in 1959 Reynolds' husband Eddie Fisher fell under Taylor's intoxicating spell and left her and their two young kids. To make matters worse, it was all done in full view of the public.
"She went through her younger years of just obtaining what she wanted," Reynolds tells PopEater. "Later in life she became a little more aware of other people's feelings."
Reynolds tells us about forgiving her old friend, working with Taylor in her final starring role in 2001 and how she feels Jane Russell was given the short shrift when she died earlier this month.

I, like the rest of the country at time, thought Debbie handled that affair very well. She was really the girl next door and we all loved her. She was so much better off without that weenee Fisher. Taylor was really a tramp on this whole issue............

"She went through her younger years of just obtaining what she wanted," Reynolds tells PopEater. "Later in life she became a little more aware of other people's feelings."I love reading this , So does My boyfriend .he is almost 11year older than me .i met him via agelessc'upid.c'om a nice place for seeking age le ss love.which gives you a chance to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive young girls and treat you like a king. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends..
Eddie Fisher was from my home town and we love him here as did many, he was an absolutley spectacular singer, especially in his early years. I've met him on a couple of occasions and he was nice to me. I've also met Debbie Reynolds and she was nice as well. I liked her in 1953's " I Love Melvin ." I've seen Elizabeth Taylor a couple of times in person and to tell you the truth she seemed nice too .
The biggest tragedy in all this mess was that Eddie Fisher was really a good singer. He was considered a "jerk" by most people. Probably so, but he really was talented. I liked his music. Debbie Reynolds was "cute" and considered a sweetheart. This was a real morality play at the time.

Eddie Fisher may have been a good singer, but he also was a very arrogant and snobby man. I knew personal friends of his and it was prior to Debbie Reynolds marrying him and they said she should never have done it as she was much nicer then he was. He is gone now too and he ruined his own career with the Liz Taylor fiasco. Let them both rest in peace now....
What a crock. Debbie's marriage was falling apart before Mike Todd died and they gave Elizabeth a shoulder to cry on. Then Eddie chased Elizabeth everywhere. He was a boozer and a druggie and Elizabeth put up with it. He was such a loser and Debbie's kids don't have very nice things to say about her. Elizabeth took the "Cleopatra" part on a lark when 20th called and asked her to do the role and she picked a number and said "I will do it for one million dollars," and thought they would turn her down.
Burton was picked at the last minute and history was made.

You don't know what you are talking about. Maybe you're the boozer.
You are right. What gets me is Debbie is such a bull sh...er
she was one "talk show" week ago. She slammed Liz then.
She was not the good girl next door.
Like Jen Aston is trying to pull the same crap. Brad waited till
friends was done they were then to has kids. Jenn kept putting
him off. He had enough.
Debbie made eddie the center of all her jokes,at parties.Now over the hill
debbie trying to steal the spotlight from Liz once again.
you better read the reports on Taylor, Mike Tod was the love of her life, untill Burton, she almost had a nervouse break down over his death, and Todd was also nuts about liz,everyone in Hollywood new that, go toyour old news papers and films, Eddy was a shoulder to cry on thats all.they said Todd was a mans man he never let Liz boss him around thats why she never left him, I heard her on tv say Todd was the love of a life time, then came Burton.
Well I send my condolences to her family and friends-and if Debbie Reynolds forgave her many years ago-then we need to let it go. Let her rest in peace-for what was done, was done so long ago.

"Let her rest in peace-for what was done, was done so long ago." Very nice words, but they don't mean much in the scheme of the final arbiter handling such matters at payback time.
Note to Victor: Who died and made you God? I'd love to hear your story.
Seems odd that Reynolds would ever have been lame enough to be willing to forgive Taylor for selfishly playing a central role in the dstruction of her first marriage (be it a poor one with a bad man or not) especially given that, by all accounts, Fisher spent the rest of his life lamenting Taylor's ultimate preference for the equally shameless Richard Burton, not his long-since forgotten and unfulfilling union with the ditzy Reynolds. I know people are capable of forgiving a lot, but really, that would seem to cross the line to say the least. To each his own, people are strange.

Debbie Reynolds is not ditzy. She's always been an extremely hard worker and will be the 1st to admit her biggest failings have been in her choice of husbands,including 2 who left her in debt and Debbie paid back every cent. Miss Reynolds is a multi-talented actress and anything but a ditz.
Hating people takes too much energy. Debbie Reynolds is better for getting over this.
spoken like a true lady. though she has never been given her due ms reynalds is also a big part of hollywood history. i think she said it like a friend who knew elizabeth very well . when she was young she was selfish and spoiled but she grew older and became the wonderful philantropist we now know. she was human and lived her life in the public eye and everyone loved her for it.
