Hearts grow heavier with more sad news being reported today, as screen legend Debbie Reynolds has passed away at the age of 84.
Numerous sources, including The New York Times, report the news of Debbie's passing, one day after her daughter Carrie Fisher passed away. According to The New York Times (via the TV station ABC 7 Los Angeles), Debbie suffered a stroke on Wednesday after the unexpected passing of Carrie earlier this week. She later passed away at a hospital in Los Angeles.
Debbie Reynolds appeared in many influential films throughout her prolific career, playing Kathy Selden in Singin' in the Rain, Tammy in Tammy and the Bachelor, Lilith Prescott in How the West Was Won, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Molly Brown in The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
Horror fans of all ages—especially those who grew up in the ’90s—may best remember Reynolds as Agatha "Aggie" Cromwell, a kind-hearted witch and wonderful grandma who showed her grandchildren and once-estranged daughter the power of love and magic in four Halloweentown movies.
That love and Debbie's onscreen magic will live on forever, and our thoughts go out to both Debbie and Carrie's family and friends during this extremely difficult time.
