Yesterday Carrie Fisher died, and then this evening her mother Debbie Reynolds died. Both of them made their film debuts at the age of 19, Debbie in the role of Kathy in the musical comedy Singing in the Rain, and Carrie in the role of Princess Leia in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope".
I liked seeing both these actresses. Carrie will always be Leia for me. Then again, that's her most iconic role. She was absolutely awesome as the Rebel Princess, who as we later find out, trains for thirty years to become one of the most powerful Jedi in the Galaxy.
I only saw Singing in the Rain once many years ago, but I can still say that Debbie was just awesome as Kathy. She had an awesome singing voice and her dancing would have put Ginger Rogers to shame.
They are now both one with the Force.
