Debbie Reynolds on bad men choices + life on the road - Later with Bob Costas 3/24/92

Posted on the 31st anniversary of the broadcast. DEBBIE REYNOLDS appeared on LATER WITH BOB COSTAS on March 24th 1992. The conversation focused upon the 40th anniversary of SINGING IN THE RAIN, her poor choices in men in her life, the failure of her TV series for standing up to cigarette advertising, and the never ending life on the road as a touring actress. #debbiereynolds #carriefisher #eddiefisher #elizabethtaylor #fredastaire #genekelly #singingintherain #bobcostas #interview #acting #actor #broadway #musical

Lovely woman with some great advice.

[@Robert-ou2dc]

This makes me happy to watch Debbie, who I admired for years, and sad that she is no longer with us. I would have loved to have met Debbie and Carrie. They always seemed so personable and never boring. 😊

great interview!!!!!!!!!

[@HomeAtLast501]

Bob really was a great interview talent. His interview of Paul McCartney is probably the best, most in-depth rock interview I've ever seen.

[@KenCAgron]

I very much enjoyed watching this interview. I enjoyed a number of movies in which Debbie Reynolds had roles (usually starring roles). I think most of Bob Costas' were good ones and Ms. Reynolds answered them all with grace, intelligence, and charm. I haven't read her autobiography or any biographies but it seems she was a wonderful person.

She is a brilliant talent but she is also a tough cookie. Shirley MacLaine nailed her character and essence in Postcards From the Edge. She is so wicked and witty!

Eddie was a piece of work to write a book and say of all his wives he only couldn't stand Debbie. And I like her attitude that his comments make him look like a birdbrain (although she didn't mention him by name it followed the question about the press dealing with that whole mess back then. .

[@bubufubu]

Some of these memoirs come across as smacking of desperation for attention and/or money, specifically ones that are gossip heavy. Sharing such personal information that involves others has never struck me as something a respectable adult would do. You really have to consider how much of a "birdbrain" Reynolds was when it came to choosing whom to date and/or marry.

@@bubufubu How much of a "birdbrain" was Debbie Reynolds? Well, she wasn't a "birdbrain" (no more than most people when it comes to romantic entanglements). Fisher was very attentive to her and chivalrous in images I have seen of him with Debbie. At some point in the marriage he soured. Debbie was no pushover and assertive, which when you are a woman will be held against you (although most things are sooner or later when a man isn't getting something from you he wants). He hasn't been that complimentary about his wife Connie Stevens either. But he particularly lashed out at Debbie because she made him a comic punchline in her stage shows and appearances. She had the last laugh.

@@Dory8 My experience has shown me that females are...just a little bit different when it comes to romantic entanglements. They tend to be very, very poor at choosing male partners. They're notorious for lack of accountability and for wanting to have their cake and eat it, too. You can't have it both ways. You can't willfully choose to be with a guy who is not a good person (or at least not a good fit for you), marry him, have kids with him, stay with him for years, and then write a book, give recorded interviews, make fun of him on stage, or gossip to close friends about how bad the guy is/was. It just serves to make you look even more foolish for choosing that partner (and staying with him) in the first place. Reynolds had the last laugh? You sure about that? She was married three times and they all ended in divorce. Bottom line: She made poor choices.

[@Dory8]

@@bubufubu What sweeping generalizations! Not every woman is 'poor at choosing male partners' just as not every man is six feet tall or muscly. Has Meryl Streep been? Ann Margret? Ann Bancroft? Joanne Woodward? How did you arrive at this ridiculous farfetched notion that women are "notorious for lack of accountability" and want to "have their cake and eat it too"? Did you do a door knock? What study did you undertake? Have you personally met every woman? Sounds more like the misogynistic contrivance of a bitter man hoping to convince himself that women are to blame for everything. We most certainly are not. We are not the rulers of this world. We are not the ones prosecuting wars around the globe. And we most certainly aren't the ones committing homicides or rapes. As for the cake part, most of us don't eat it lest we be shamed for not being swelte. Debbie Reynolds was in fact a very kind woman; that is well known (even her third husband stated as much, and they didn't even part on good terms). Nor did she write a book about her first husband demeaning him; he (through a ghost writer) badmouthed her in two books. She just made hay of it via wit (as clever women often do). Bottom line: Everyone loved her. That Fisher didn't says more about him than it does her.

@@bubufubu Sheesh, just generalize "that females are...". Must know ALL of them

[@KenCAgron]

Oops...CORRECTION: ...most of Costas' questions were good ones

[@greeneyedwarlock882]

Talk about FANTASTIC ADVICE from beyond the grave! Debbie was one HELLUVA' GREAT WOMAN and Actress and her words are a treasure to me.❤‼
