In the closing pages of her 1988 autobiography Debbie: My Life,
Debbie Reynolds wrote about finding her brave, loyal, and loving
new husband. After two broken marriages, this third, she believed,
was her lucky charm. But within a few years, Debbie discovered that
he had betrayed her emotionally and financially, nearly destroying
her life. Today, she says, When I read the optimistic ending of my
last memoir now, I can't believe how naive I was when I wrote it.
In Unsinkable, I look back at the many years since then, and share
my memories of a film career that took me from the Miss Burbank
Contest of 1948 to the work I did in 2012...To paraphrase Bette
Davis: Fasten your seatbelts, I've had a bumpy ride. Unsinkable
shines a spotlight on the resilient woman whose talent and passion
for her work have endured for more than six decades. In her
engaging, down-to-earth voice, Debbie shares private details about
her man and money troubles, including building and losing both her
Las Vegas dream hotel and her treasured Hollywood memorabilia
collection. Yet no matter how difficult the problems, the show
always goes on. Debbie also invites us into the close circle of her
family life, speaking with deep affection and honesty about her
relationships with her children, Carrie and Todd Fisher. She looks
back at her life as an actress during Hollywood's Golden Age- the
most magical time you could imagine, including her lifelong
friendship with (and years-long estrangement from) the legendary
Elizabeth Taylor. Here, too, are stories that never reached the
tabloids about numerous celebrities such as Ava Gardner, Clark
Gable, Frank Sinatra, Mick Jagger, Gene Kelly, and many more. She
takes us on a guided tour through her movies with delightful, often
hilarious behind-the-scenes anecdotes about every film in which she
was involved, from 1948 to the present. Frank and forthright, and
featuring dozens of previously unseen photos from her personal
collection, Unsinkable is a poignant reminder that there is light
in the darkest times. It is a revealing portrait of a woman whose
determination is an inspiration.
