Debbie never got the recognition she deserved, and in later life far fewer good roles than she deserved. In ‘Mother’ as well as Will & Grace and Behind the Candelabra we can see her talent (and range). I saw her one woman show in London when she was 78. She was hilarious and open and warm and fantastic.
Yes, he does. Especially gracious, too, when it seems he was pushed out and lived “on the fringes” while his mother and sister were so involved in their own relationship.
He and Debbie were very close as you see when reading her autobiographies. They worked hand in glove in all her entertainment ventures in her later life.
In the early 80's I met Debbie Reynolds after her show in Vegas. I was awed by her beauty and grace and was acting a bit of the star-struck teenager. (I was 19). I even asked her the stupidest possible question: "What does Carrie REALLY think about being most famous for Princess Leia?" Right after I said it I realized how dumb it was and turned red. But Debbie, bless her, just hugged me and said "You have no idea how much she would love to hear you ask that, she has BECOME Leia and has so much fun with it." She paused and added "I'll tell her a very handsome young man wanted to know." She was gracious, we chatted for a few minutes more and she hugged me again when we were done talking. Shortly after I started working in the film industry as a technician and met many celebs in person. Most were as kind and gracious as Debbie was. I do regret never getting to meet Carrie in person. I did however meet Billie Lourd in person, she was also a very nice and warm person, and at the time I had no idea Carrie was her mother. After Carrie died one of the celebs I worked with, who knew her well, told me that if Carrie and I HAD met, it would have been interesting as we shared the same sarcastic and irreverent humor.
My grandma said that very same thing, she was mother of 5, buried 4 as adults. Most were grandparents already, but she still grieved and said she should have died first.
Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher were beautiful, talented, witty, sharp. But Todd Fisher is a gentleman and a most generous, loyal son and brother. There is not a bit of anger, jealously or feeling badly done to which he might have felt. Todd Fisher you have our deepest condolences and we salute you.
Carrie was one of the kindest people ever, toward people who were not famous... just people that she saw needed a good word. I was one of them. We went to summer camp and were in the same group and she would talk to me although I had no idea who she was. In fact, I did not know until I saw the credits in Star Wars. Wow, I thought. One of the sweetest people I ever met, came to me, an upopular person, said the most kind words. I will never forget her.
She was so beautiful, wonderful actress, and a very good singer, undervalued in the level of appreciation of her real talent! She deserved more, indeed.
Missy B . . Who do you think you are? The Thought Police ! And Lois Reese . . . Wind it in sweetie . . Seen that you spread your sparkling wit and personality on another’s post . . You two are a pair of Neg’s, that’s negative, you know, the opposite to positive, you should hook up! Endless hours of moaning for you both . . . .Normally find Neg’s with real pinched and heavily wrinkled faces . . Eh Hem . . Note the absence of any pictures of your faces on your posts. . . . Just saying 😂 That’s due to they literally wear their souls on their faces . . . All mean and scrunched up like 😖 So in conclusion . . Outspoken girl just mentioned that she felt sad and a bit emosh and you pair of vultures swooped in to do what? Put her straight? What, to think and behave like you two ???? . . . . Oy! . . Missy Lois. . Be Nicer. ❤️
@@randysills4418 Thank you. I have assurance from the Almighty that we'll meet again. Meanwhile , I have a daughter who's a comfort and a treasure, and another son who is also a blessing.
I like Carrie doing that family tree relative part she did in Bright Lights. How they r all related. I live small cummunity these ppl are all some how related i just moved into all these communion.... so Carrie was funny there
Todd will not see your comment just because he is in the video. Your comment is nice but that's not how UA-cam works unless he was the person who posted it.
@@marias7599 Since Ralph wrote a message directly to Todd, calling him by name, I'm pretty sure he DOESN'T know that. Many people don't, and writing those comments makes them look a tad bit naive to say the least. I was kindly trying to let him know that so he could avoid making the same mistake In the future. In addition, nobody fucking asked you, Maria S', so butt the fuck out and take your know-it-all ass somewhere else.
God bless your heart with the only real comfort that comes only from Him....I speak from first-hand experience. I watched my mother leave the earth. I watched in absolute unbelief which continued for at least seven years just speaking about the state of shock-who knows about all the other layers. But I do know that the God I believe in is an awesome comforter. And he is real. So I pray your peace heart is filled with the knowledge of the living, loving yet mysterious God who will comfort you even in sorrow. Unfortunately since this is you too I have to put out this disclaimer: any God hating atheist or people that simply just like to be offended the second some Aleve and says “God”, please don’t bother. I will not respond. Can you just let me well with this dear person whose daughter has passed. Thank you. In advance. If you choose to ignore my pleas, I pray your eyes open as well.
Hey there! I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Todd Fischer is to applauded for his heartfelt account of his mother and sister. God bless him. Surround him with the peace that surpassing al understanding
What a wonderful son and brother! I am so impressed with this man who held it together while speaking so kindly about the first women in his life. Todd, I wish you the very best love and life. You are a wonderful man. Be happy, dear one. God bless you and continue to be kind in all things. Thank you.
Todd Fisher was unbelievably warm, understanding (his mother was obviously very focused on Carrie probably all her life), intelligent and funny - with similar sense of humour and wit that Carrie had as well. It was a pleasure listening to him, what a wonderful being. The whole family seemed a bit crazy and original, but at the same time very loving and warm; rich and famous, but down to Earth. So unique in their world.
@Alita Hargrove I agree that - if that was what was going on - it's not good, but we can't know. He said "Carrie had more needs" and doesn't seem resentful, so maybe the favoritism wasn't as bad as it seems and Debbie made it up to him in some way and/or he had a good relationship with his sister. I hope at least. Either way, he seems lovely.
@Alita Hargrove So true & evident. He probably escaped a great deal of life Anxiety though. Not a jealous or covetous person. I bet he sleeps well at night. x
@Alita Hargrove I'm sure living with Carrie was enough to recognize that she had more issues and needed more attention. When you have a mentally ill person in the family and they get more attention it's not because that person is loved more than any other and the rest of the family usually understands that. There may be phases in life where there MIGHT be some resentment but by that stage in life experience that resentment would be gone. In this case, Debbie seemed like a very loving and positive person who would not have neglected Todd, just focused a little more on Carrie. You can tell that by the fact that Todd seems to be so much like his mother.
Speaking as a mother who has lost a child, I believe 100% Debbie died of a broken heart. The pain of losing a child is another entity that no one but those who have lived it will ever know. It's excruciating unto death. Indescribable.
@@dianeparr2483 You're absolutely right. Debbie Reyonlds was one of the most professional and talented people in film. She had the loving respect of Meryl Streep, which speaks volumes.

You can hear Debbie s voice when Carrie speaks. I can always have been able to see her mom in her. Carrie was mire dramatic then her mom or maybe in a new world different way then Debbie s generation would have spoken.. Debbie was raised i a strict church religion her parents practiced lived their religion. Raised their children that way. I know some times the child turns out differently
This was so heartbreaking. Poor Todd. How did he cope with such devastating losses back-to-back? May angels tenderly cradle him. May Debbie and Carrie be lovingly cradled in heaven 🙏🙏🙏
My Grandmother died this same way. (she was in her 80's) She was facing a situation she could not accept. So she just went upstairs and layed down and let go of life.
Condolences for Todd. You handled that obnoxious reporter well under very difficult circumstances. There is so much love for your beautiful mother and lovely sister.
Soulmates don't have to be romantic partners. They can be family or friends. I believe Debbie Reynolds and her daughter, Carrie Fisher, were soulmates.
My heart goes out to the family of both Debbie and Carrie. Todd handles these fireball, do-you-want-fries-with-that, interruptive types of questions with incredible generosity. It almost sounds like they aren't in the same room with each other. RIP Carrie and Debbie.
Such a tragedy, both daughter and mother passing a day apart. But thank you Todd Fisher for your insight of your Mom and sister,... I think they are both at peace now.
@@Lisa1111 Or to people who are sensible enough to realise this life is all we get and, I don't know, actually like their loved ones and miss talking to them?😒
Also, Debbie was not in good physical shape. She had a lot of serious health issues that were debilitating her and, really, she was ready to leave this life.
Hey there! I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hearing back from you!
God blessTodd!! He experienced such a loss, but his strong faith and DISCERNMENT...confirms that mother and daughter are together...forever! 💖 Who didn't LOVE TAMMY!!! And PRINCESS LAILA!
A beautiful love story. What an amazing son and brother! Heartbreaking, YES! !A love story which also included Todd, a modest, poised gentleman who narrated his Mother's and Sister's relationship with such grace. The world will always have a special place in their hearts for these two amazing women; each owned their incredible legacy. Debbie went home to be with her darling Princess, they were truly imseperable! They say that relationships carry over into the next dimension of life!. Love conquers all. Two beautiful jems! Blessings to Billie and Todd. The Heaven's are rejoicing! Much love!!!! ❤❤
As this beloved brother and son said "it was beautiful". We all have 'to leave' and what better way than with each other. Carrie besides her acting career was really an intelligent lady. Very, very insightful and amazing writing skills. Both so beautiful as well.
I totally understand what the brother is saying. I had that kind of relationship with my mom. I always dreaded her passing. She is gone but I took it more philosophical than I thought I would. There are undone things that keep me here yet. And she would have wanted that way. My mom is buried near Bette Davis btw and my aunt and uncle are now neighbors with Debbie and Carrie...
I did not like the interviewers aggressiveness! it was like she felt that such intrusive questions was her right to demand answers to, a style that is usually reserved for criminals not someone who has lost two people close to him. I take my hat off to him for keeping his composure
The women I loved and who left me used to sing good morning to our daughter back in the good days when they both lived with me. Hearing that song hits a chord in my soul.
I hope Todd didn't feel unloved or less loved. My heart breaks for him. I feel his mother and sister kind of left him behind. I Pray he has found peace and love.
This reminds me of me I lost my mom passed away first and then my grandma passed away two weeks because they were both sick. My mom had cancer and me My grandma she had copd and she was very old she was 90. My mom is in heaven with her mom. The same with Carrie and Debbie
Loved Debbie' innocent, loved her guts, loved the fact she never gave up!!! A great role model, loved her in How the West was won, she was so beautiful and sang one of by favourites songs!!!!! Rest in peace with your daughter Debbie, you will not be forgotten!!!!!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I will be forever in awe of the amazing bond that Debbie and Carrie shared. Heartbreaking, insightful and inspirational. To have see them together in a special documentary is like a guide to love another person.
Hey there! I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hearing back from you!
A brilliant story of a family of 3 genuine people, in the exciting, but shallow and challenging world of entertainment. Told beautifully, but the interviewers questions were pathetic and over dramatised, with very little substance. But Todd overlooked that, and gave such wonderfully wholesome answers.
Geez but I am so sorry! Here this Thursday my mama will be 94! How I'm not certain. I think that she might be part cockroache 🤣 God Bless you always 🙏🏽 ❤️
It was such a huge loss for all of us who loved them. Todd has my deepest sympathy. GOD keep them all. Carrie is completely healed of her maniac depression.
I recently saw postcards from the edge. It was a beautiful story between mother & daughter. The film did an excellent job showing the love between them both. They have an amazing love story. You can clearly tell Debbie loved her daughter
Todd told a wonderful beautiful 😍 story about his mother and sister. Todd, you talk so highly of the both of them. I’m glad at the great stories of them. They are happy and together forever🙏🏾💔. R.I.P. Debbie Reynolds & Carrie Fisher
Carrie was an icon for me diagnosed bipolar and someone who struggled to stay clean and sober her honesty about her ailments promoted awareness when I learned she lost her battle to addiction I was devastated to say the least😭
It was moving to listen toTodd Fisher. He was humorous and informative about another level of unearthly love and commitment. Wow, what a strength of spirit Debbie, Carrie and Todd all have. You fed my faith and my hope. God bless you and yours, Todd Fisher.
This is a very special program. The mother daughter relationship is such a bond, and never stronger than with Debbie and Carrie. There is a peace after watching this and knowing the love they shared!
Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds were both extremely intelligent and talented in many ways. I have always loved everything Debbie did since I was a little girl and Carrie became a wonderful writer in spite of her addictions and that takes true grit. The comments about looks are so hollow and empty, as Carrie was a lovely women with many talents; and catty remarks are from people who are not very sensitive or do not know how to curb their ignorant criticism. Looks are not everything in life. One's personal traits such as courage, determination to overcome problems are much more important. Cynthia McLaglen
Oh my. I’m very emotional watching this today. Both icons but they were there for all of us, through every High and every low. I’ll always remember them both with a happy heart and smile. I’m so glad to hear the details Todd expressed. Makes it a little less hurtful of this loss knowing the closeness of these two, together forever. ❤️
Hey there! I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Ms Reynolds was a wonderful person. She was very friendly when we knew her as neighbors back in the 70s & 80s in Palm Springs. I never met Carrie, but I know she visited frequently. Dad and Debbie turned out to be great friends over the years. RIP Ms Reynolds RIP Carrie 2 icons gone.😪
Loved them both. This cleared up so much. He is a very intelligent caring brother. Lovely man. Postcards was a brilliant movie written by the best writer. Debbie left for Carrie. Just lovely.
Just such a SWEETHEART -- I had the pleasure of meeting Debbie in Las Vegas and also corresponding with her regarding the memoir I was writing on the famous comedy actress, ZaSu Pitts. Debbie was glad to help in any way she could. Hands With a Heart: Bio of Actress ZaSu Pitts then went on to win book awards. What a pleasure to research; what a heartbreak to know Debbie has now left us.
Todd, think of all the fun times you shared with two beautiful women. They would be very proud of you. Stand strong until you are with them again. God Bless
Absolutely beautiful the way Todd shared and was so direct and made you understand that this was so much more than just a tabloid blurb. Well done. Thanks Debbie, Carrie. Where didn't you make someone smile? No where.
Todd is truly a man of spiritual insight, and so aware of how life flows. He gave me a sense of peace when I listened to his positive words describing his mom and sisters relationship and just who they were to him. Blessings, Todd, your mom did a good job!💙
Elizabeth Vargas, the reporter, came out later as an alcoholic and apologized for many of her interviews. She underwent treatment and her husband divorced her during her treatment for alcoholism. She is actually a good reporter and is still on 20/20. It is pretty clear that she was drinking during this interview..very bad. I agree. Todd handled it very graciously.
Todd fisher also lives in a fantasy world where there is a big daddy figure in the sky asking Debbie for help with Carrie! Fuck him! Oh it's just beautiful todd!!!
My Own Mother to Willed herself to be with God.. She turned 91 May 2 wss diagnosed with terminal cancer May 14th having pancreatic cancer she passrd away May 20th.. I Loved my Mother.. So Proud God gifted her right up to heaven.. RIP😘😘🙏🙏😘😘

@@Lisa1111 Or to people who are sensible enough to realise this life is all we get and, I don't know, actually like their loved ones and miss talking to them?😒
Carrie and Debbie pure talent
Solid proof of the power of a mother's love it's heartbreaking yet wonderful as they say Love Conquers All
Hello Joanne
How are you doing today?
Father Eddie. Mother Debbie. Daughter Carrie Fisher. Together Again. R.I.P.
They obviously shared an incredibly special symbiosis. For two souls to be so connected.... Just mind blowing. The love and bonds we are capable of!
'She had a will not to leave Carrie and not leave Carrie alone'. How difficult this must have been for the family, its horrible and beautiful.
Hello Rita
How are you doing today?
Also, Debbie was not in good physical shape. She had a lot of serious health issues that were debilitating her and, really, she was ready to leave this life.
Mother n daughter are both talented and hilarious. RIP to you Debbie and Carrie....
Hey there! I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Todd Fisher is being so gracious with this obnoxious reporter. I lost my mom 9 years ago and I know how that feels.
So right! This woman is desparate to bring him to get her moneys worth out of him no matter how what he's going through. Disgusting.
lemorab1 Yes!!! She has no feeling...brash...and rude!!! He rocked!
He didn’t have to speak to her!!
That's why I mostly dislike reporters.
Apparently, Todd was paid $650,550 for this interview.
Debbie was unbelievably talented and warm with her public!!!! She will be missed!
The amazing irony was Debbie was 19 years old in her first film Singing in the rain and Carrie was also 19 years ago when she starred in Star Wars .🥰🥰
God blessTodd!! He experienced such a loss, but his strong faith and DISCERNMENT...confirms that mother and daughter are together...forever! 💖 Who didn't LOVE TAMMY!!! And PRINCESS LAILA!
@Karenina Beltran Princess Leia, but I agree. Nice comment.
A beautiful love story. What an amazing son and brother! Heartbreaking, YES!
!A love story which also included Todd, a modest, poised gentleman who narrated his Mother's and Sister's relationship with such grace.
The world will always have a special place in their hearts for these two amazing women; each owned their incredible legacy. Debbie went home to be with her darling Princess, they were truly imseperable! They say that relationships carry over into the next dimension of life!. Love conquers all.
Two beautiful jems! Blessings to Billie and Todd. The Heaven's are rejoicing! Much love!!!! ❤❤

As this beloved brother and son said "it was beautiful". We all have 'to leave' and what better way than with each other. Carrie besides her acting career was really an intelligent lady. Very, very insightful and amazing writing skills. Both so beautiful as well.
I totally understand what the brother is saying. I had that kind of relationship with my mom. I always dreaded her passing. She is gone but I took it more philosophical than I thought I would. There are undone things that keep me here yet. And she would have wanted that way. My mom is buried near Bette Davis btw and my aunt and uncle are now neighbors with Debbie and Carrie...
💜
Todd was very strong and well spoken, I admire his strength and integrity. Such beautiful ladies, inside and out ❤
I did not like the interviewers aggressiveness! it was like she felt that such intrusive questions was her right to demand answers to, a style that is usually reserved for criminals not someone who has lost two people close to him. I take my hat off to him for keeping his composure
That last part of them singing together. Made me cry..God Bless them..
The women I loved and who left me used to sing good morning to our daughter back in the good days when they both lived with me. Hearing that song hits a chord in my soul.
God bless them both. Prayers for the rest of their family
God, Im just crying over Debbie and Carrie... I can feel the love they had for each other.
I hope they are together at last.
I hope Todd didn't feel unloved or less loved. My heart breaks for him. I feel his mother and sister kind of left him behind. I Pray he has found peace and love.
Carries poor daughter lost her mother and grandmother.
Debbie did not seem too concerned.
green323turbo
The mother was psycho what kind of lost is that
This reminds me of me I lost my mom passed away first and then my grandma passed away two weeks because they were both sick.
My mom had cancer and me
My grandma she had copd and she was very old she was 90.
My mom is in heaven with her mom.
The same with Carrie and Debbie
I can't imagine losing your Mom and Grandma within 2 days. My husband Adam died in 2016, and I am still grieving
Loved Debbie' innocent, loved her guts, loved the fact she never gave up!!! A great role model, loved her in How the West was won, she was so beautiful and sang one of by favourites songs!!!!! Rest in peace with your daughter Debbie, you will not be forgotten!!!!!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hello Maria
How are you doing today?
I will be forever in awe of the amazing bond that Debbie and Carrie shared. Heartbreaking, insightful and inspirational. To have see them together in a special documentary is like a guide to love another person.
Hey there! I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hearing back from you!
A brilliant story of a family of 3 genuine people, in the exciting, but shallow and challenging world of entertainment. Told beautifully, but the interviewers questions were pathetic and over dramatised, with very little substance. But Todd overlooked that, and gave such wonderfully wholesome answers.
MSM!🙄 Cold hearted as always!
@@sharronpettis1486 +
Carrie would have been great in stand up comedy. She had some hilarious jokes. RIP Carrie and Debbie 🌹🌹
My mama and I share the same unique fiery unbreakable bond. Best friends, partners in crime. She is now 90 ❤
As does me and my son. Daughter isn't speaking to me and it's devastating!
God bless .. I hope you guys are still riding 🥰
Thank you Mooch! She 92 now and we are nearing the end of the trail. God Bless you 🙏🏽 ❤
So jealous my mum and I were too and I thought that would be us but she died of a giant tumour randomly this year
Geez but I am so sorry! Here this Thursday my mama will be 94!
How I'm not certain. I think that she might be part cockroache 🤣
God Bless you always 🙏🏽 ❤️
It was such a huge loss for all of us who loved them. Todd has my deepest sympathy. GOD keep them all. Carrie is completely healed of her maniac depression.
I recently saw postcards from the edge. It was a beautiful story between mother & daughter. The film did an excellent job showing the love between them both. They have an amazing love story. You can clearly tell Debbie loved her daughter
I really enjoyed how the son expressed such joy and admiration for his sister and his mom❤
Heartbreaking yet Beautiful. 2 simple words that mammy so much. I was devastated. Debbie Reynolds was a truly amazing woman and mother.
Debbie was great in the Disney Channel movie HalloweenTown as Aggie Cromwell
I loved that show.i still watch it every year
Gayle Hayden yup
I absolutely loved both of these ladies. They were so honest and intelligent.
Todd told a wonderful beautiful 😍 story about his mother and sister. Todd, you talk so highly of the both of them. I’m glad at the great stories of them. They are happy and together forever🙏🏾💔. R.I.P. Debbie Reynolds & Carrie Fisher
Todd seems super cool and his family had a heck of a sense of humor :)
God bless
Wonderful women...both. May they rest in peace.
Lovely love story... mother, daughter and son
i have alway's loved Debbie
Carrie was an icon for me diagnosed bipolar and someone who struggled to stay clean and sober her honesty about her ailments promoted awareness when I learned she lost her battle to addiction I was devastated to say the least😭
It was moving to listen toTodd Fisher. He was humorous and informative about another level of unearthly love and commitment. Wow, what a strength of spirit Debbie, Carrie and Todd all have. You fed my faith and my hope. God bless you and yours, Todd Fisher.
May the Lord be with Carrie Fisher & her mom Debbie Reynolds is singing in the Light. Amen.
This is a very special program. The mother daughter relationship is such a bond, and never stronger than with Debbie and Carrie. There is a peace after watching this and knowing the love they shared!
These two are the ultimite mother and daughter.. they are forever together. SO sweet. Mom couldn't live without each other...
Todd, you were so wonderful to remember the tribute to your mother and your sister. May they RIP - Debbie and Carrie.
Todd Fisher has tremendous patience with Elizabeth Vargas (interviewer).
She was an awful interviewer. Very aggressive and sensational seeker
Both quintessentials forever shining bright stars. Their relationship was a true repertoire of life
Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds were both extremely intelligent and talented in many ways. I have always loved everything Debbie did since I was a little girl and Carrie became a wonderful writer in spite of her addictions and that takes true grit. The comments about looks are so hollow and empty, as Carrie was a lovely women with many talents; and catty remarks are from people who are not very sensitive or do not know how to curb their ignorant criticism. Looks are not everything in life. One's personal traits such as courage, determination to overcome problems are much more important. Cynthia McLaglen

Cynthia McLaglen you are so right Carrie has her own special attractiveness and huge talent.
WOW ! This is such a moving true story !! GOD BLESS them both !! ...I am now 56 and remember all this...** ..both so fine too in their prime !!
Oh my. I’m very emotional watching this today. Both icons but they were there for all of us, through every High and every low. I’ll always remember them both with a happy heart and smile. I’m so glad to hear the details Todd expressed. Makes it a little less hurtful of this loss knowing the closeness of these two, together forever. ❤️

Ms Reynolds was a wonderful person.
She was very friendly when we knew her as neighbors back in the 70s & 80s in Palm Springs.
I never met Carrie, but I know she visited frequently.
Dad and Debbie turned out to be great friends over the years.
RIP Ms Reynolds
RIP Carrie
2 icons gone.😪
Todd you are just phenomenal
Loved them both. This cleared up so much. He is a very intelligent caring brother. Lovely man. Postcards was a brilliant movie written by the best writer. Debbie left for Carrie. Just lovely.
I'm sorry Todd
God bless you
Their is no other love as pure, unconditional,and STRONG as a mother's love💞💞💞💞❤💞❤❤❤❤
There😊
Not necessarily!
Just such a SWEETHEART -- I had the pleasure of meeting Debbie in Las Vegas and also corresponding with her regarding the memoir I was writing on the famous comedy actress, ZaSu Pitts. Debbie was glad to help in any way she could. Hands With a Heart: Bio of Actress ZaSu Pitts then went on to win book awards. What a pleasure to research; what a heartbreak to know Debbie has now left us.
Todd, think of all the fun times you shared with two beautiful women. They would be very proud of you. Stand strong until you are with them again.
God Bless
Absolutely beautiful the way Todd shared and was so direct and made you understand that this was so much more than just a tabloid blurb. Well done. Thanks Debbie, Carrie. Where didn't you make someone smile? No where.
Todd is truly a man of spiritual insight, and so aware of how life flows. He gave me a sense of peace when I listened to his positive words describing his mom and sisters relationship and just who they were to him. Blessings, Todd, your mom did a good job!💙
It shone through even from beneath this veneer of noisy and overproduced pragmatic filler.
Over a year later and It’s still hard to watch this. 💛😢
What a beautiful interview.
Interviewer has an angry looking face and asks her questions in an attack mode. Todd handle the interview beautifully.
I AGREE 100%!!
Elizabeth Vargas, the reporter, came out later as an alcoholic and apologized for many of her interviews. She underwent treatment and her husband divorced her during her treatment for alcoholism. She is actually a good reporter and is still on 20/20. It is pretty clear that she was drinking during this interview..very bad. I agree. Todd handled it very graciously.
Todd fisher also lives in a fantasy world where there is a big daddy figure in the sky asking Debbie for help with Carrie! Fuck him! Oh it's just beautiful todd!!!
Interviewer is just a bit shocked that Todd lives in this fantasy santa/god-daddy world at such an ugly unkempt old age!!
You have a much BIGGER problem, @Andrew...
Todd is a gentleman, you are lower than dirt.
My Own Mother to Willed herself to be with God.. She turned 91 May 2 wss diagnosed with terminal cancer May 14th having pancreatic cancer she passrd away May 20th.. I Loved my Mother.. So Proud God gifted her right up to heaven.. RIP😘😘🙏🙏😘😘
in a way it's sad that their life was so public in so many personal ways...but they truly were graceful through it...

Debbie must have been bursting with Pride when Star Wars brought Carrie into her own.
Todd Fisher is such a classy guy!! I really am impressed with him!!
