Merry Christmas Everyone! Thank you Puck and Bryan for these amazing Christmas banners. Sorry Ive been off the grid. My mom had a seizure and had a very hot cup of coffee in her hand which she spilled. It resulted in 3rd degree burns on her inner thighs. She has been in one of the best ICU Burn units in the state of Alabama. Please pray for my mother. I've missed being on the forum. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and looking forward to a blessed New Year.

Very apt banner Bryan- when I first heard about Carrie's death, my first reaction [after the initial shock] was for Debbie- thinking she was in the same boat as Doris- unfortunately she wasn't strong enough and it was just too much for poor Debbie.

[doris-day-fan]

Tuesday's news about Carrie Fisher's death was shocking, and then to hear about her dear Mother, Debbie Reynolds on the very next day - OMG - so sad, shocking and unbelievable...Real life can be too real at times and I feel such a loss, especially with Debbie leaving us. She was a true icon - much of the comments about her career - from starting at age 19, to her singing and dancing career sound all too familiar....we are so lucky that Doris is still with us...I pray daily that Doris stays well and happy in these strange times. God bless her. I hope everyone has a very Happy New Year - glad to shut the door on 2016.
Happy New Year everyone.

Hi all,

Nice tribute banner to Debbie! Life can go very strange...

Debbie referred to Doris in her books as having had a similar experience to her with Martin Melcher when talking about her second marriage to millionaire businessman Harry Karl, (1960-1973) who left her broke because of his gambling, bad investments and spending habits. He had $100m when she met him and blew all of it - he would regularly lose between $100,000-$300,000 a day gambling and was compulsively 'generous', giving gifts of expensive jewelry and cars to everyone, including himself. When his money ran out he started using Debbie's and spent all of her $10m savings she'd put by from her work in films.

Like Melcher, he hired a dodgy lawyer who immediately creamed off 25% of everything for himself and gave Karl a huge amount of cash on a daily basis. Debbie only discovered she was broke when she was doing a season in Las Vegas and when she asked for her usual advance on salary to pay hotel bills and wages was told that it had already been spent by her husband in the hotel's casino. She also found she was liable for $3m in debts and after her house was sold she ended up sleeping in her car at times as she was effectively homeless.

Like Doris she spent years (56!) working and fundraising for a charitable organization she helped set up devoted to children and adults with mental health issues. The Thalians: ("Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Lana Turner, Harry Belafonte and Doris Day all have been supporters.")
