Many people have been reacting to the news of Carrie Fisher’s death on Tuesday. Fisher died at the age of 60. She was best known for acting in the Star Wars movies in which she played Princess Leia. Then, Fisher’s mother, actress Debbie Reynolds died because of complications from a stroke. Reynolds was 84. She was a star actress and singer starting in the 1950s. Her son, and Fisher’s brother, Todd, confirmed the news to reporters late Wednesday. Reynolds won her first big part at the age of 19 in the 1952 film “Singin’ in the Rain.” She acted and danced with Gene Kelly, who was one of the most popular performers of that time. She made news in 1955 when she married singer Eddie Fisher. They had two children, Carrie and Todd. Three years later, Fisher left Reynolds and married actress Elizabeth Taylor. It was the sensational Hollywood love triangle of the time. Reynolds was nominated for an Academy Award, known as an Oscar, for her part in the 1964 film “The Unsinkable Molly Brown.” After the 1960s, Reynolds had fewer film roles, but still appeared often on television. Many people used social media to express their sadness upon hearing the news. They could not believe Reynolds died one day after her daughter.
