I was there opening night. I remember seeing Rip Torn, Ann Miller, and Roddy McDowall riding in. Roddy was filming us filming him. I wish the hotel was still there. We still call that area the Debbie Reynolds Hotel. And I still miss Lindsey Rappaport Buchanan. 😢
Tod. Thank you for sharing your memories and video of your mom. I was so fortunate to have met her several times at your sister’s house, in the casino and around town and she was truly special. There are no words to really describe how amazing she was. When we spoke, you felt that she was as interested in you as you were with her. My mother died a few years ago and I know how difficult that is for me to look at pictures of her and her belongings so I cannot imagine how emotional putting together these videos is for you. Thank you so much. You are bringing so much enjoyment to so many people who loved her. Bob
Thank you for sharing this incredible footage. I wish I could have visited her hotel as well as the #LiberaceMuseum in Las Vegas,Ca. I bet it was spectacular..🔹🌟🔹💥🔹🌟🔹
Dear Todd and Cat, My sweetheart Aileen and I met Debbie after her show in May 1997 and also experienced the incredible memorabilia museum theater brilliantly put together by you, Todd, and I have always wanted to thank you, so thank you, Todd! Sincerely, Dan Hogan (Retired Broadcaster, Entertainment Reporter and Memorabilia Collector)
My parents took me to this museum when I was a wee little thing, so I really don't have any recollection of it, but they LOVED it. Thank you VERY much for posting this. What an amazing museum! It runs circles around what The Academy calls their quote on quote "museum."
I was fortunate enough to tour the museum back in the 90's on a Thanksgiving day. It blew me away. Thanks for sharing this - I feel like I just saw my own brain dump! You mother was an amazing woman who shared her dream with the world. I remember the Oz costumes and masks on display as well as some of the older chariots from BenHur. The Marilyn costumes and jewelry were amazing to see. The Debbie Reynolds collection would have been enough but she had pieces of everything. She loved her fans and it was obvious that her fans LOVED her!
Todd you are so special to share all of your Mothers memories, so proud that she rescued of of these precious memorabilia, you and Cat are so precious 🤗🥰🐾
This was wonderful! Wish this museum had made it. Such important history in the world of film. I was lucky enough to see Debbie in the Molly Brown tour and in concert where I got to meet her after which thanks to my friends was the best birthday surprise ever! Unforgettable. Thanks Todd and Cat!✌️💖
Todd, , you are an amazing son and brother and and the most incredible Hollywood historian that I have ever seen. I always look forward to what you give. I have worked on hundreds of movies, tv productios and commercials and NO ONE will ever remember me. It makes me so happy that you have. done so much to keep the legacy alive. How wonderful, I just love you and you're wife. Much love to you both, such sweethearts !❤❤❤ much love 🌴🌴🌴🙏
I told my Mother who loved your Mother since 2 weeks with love came out... about the hotel and the concert there and she went at the end of 1993. My dad asked her out in 1952 because mom looked like Debbie Reynolds.. He was in love with your Mother . My mom was graduating from high school the year singing in the rain came out in '52. . so my dad is dating mom, and her brother is having a baby in early 1954, and they ask mom what to name her baby and if it were a girl she and my dad said name her Debbie in early 1954. Decades later Debbie married and Eddie in 1977 and her sister is exactly Carrie's age to the month later married a guy with the last name Fisher. I think there are no coincidences. Thanks for your videos, i love them.
What a great tribute to Debbie and her museum. Went many times to visit the museum, saw stage Debbie’s show and it was an amazing experience. She even took the time to sit down and sign my “The Singing Nun” movie memorabilia. She is greatly appreciated and missed! Thanks for posting!
This is great! The behind the scenes of Debbie's Las Vegas Hollywood Museum is super interesting especially seeing the beginner version of utilizing that cool technology at that time.
The museum was the most magnificent experience of the magic of movies I’d ever seen! Todd your description of what the “expert” proposed was absolutely so uninspired wasn’t it? I’m thrilled I lived there at the time. I’m thrilled I got to see it. I hope you’ll reignite that somehow. It was truly spectacular!! Debbie was brilliant having such foresight. I’m only 6 minutes into this episode and I just had to gush a little about how much I LOVED the museum!
When I was a student at Cal Arts, Debbie Reynolds attended a screening of Molly Brown.She was supposed to leave afterwards. However, instead of that, she joined us in the cafeteria where she told stories and answered questions for over an hour. She was genuine, warm, personable and, while no question a movie star, had none of the phoniness and ego all too common in show business. I'll never forget that spring afternoon.
Approached Rip Taylor with my girlfriend on the casino floor at Debbie’s Hotel.He didn’t seem like he wanted to talk so we made it short.But must say he was one of the funniest couples comics ever and should be remembered.Also saw the show and it was spectacular.
My mom grandma and her friend met your mom and you. All night they talked. This was oct 1997. Ive met your wife several times. thing out last year at Chiller.
My mother and I visited Debbie's casino before the museum. Sorry we never returned to see that but we enjoyed the casino and was fascinated that she was selling her regular clothes in the gift shop. We were staying at the small hotel across from her casino. I cannot remember the name but it didn't have any casino machines or tables. Just a small hotel. What is her casino called now and do you know if that small hotel is still across the street? Thank you for sharing your videos.
@catandtoddlive aww shit... that's a shame....Debbie's life work not being spotlighted by them. Shame! I'm very disappointed to know that. Thank you for all you two have done. I appreciate it.

What a wonderful video!! Love the classic film era & history! Thank goodness she thought to save these items! ❤

your mother was an incredible woman saving all of those pieces of art/history
Thank you for sharing this incredible footage. I wish I could have visited her hotel as well as the #LiberaceMuseum in Las Vegas,Ca. I bet it was spectacular..🔹🌟🔹💥🔹🌟🔹
Debbie was one of the greats. I got her autograph in 2000s when she did her show at casino in Washington state. Such a talent and kind woman. ❤
Its wonderful the way you protected your mama and sister Todd.Youre very creative!
My husband and I visited Debbie Reynolds’ museum twice and it still stands as the most fascinating experience for us. Such a class act in every sense.

I would love to have seen the sets/costumes!!!❤ So amazing.
Me too ❤ I was 26 , now I’m 54 and too late. Maybe they will present it again someday. I would go , no matter what hotel in Vegas
@melissagarza2376 I'm 60 and I feel the same!
Just found your channel, subbed ☺️
I would love to see the entire film of the presentation.
Thank you for sharing this with us. Your Mother was such a great actress, but more importantly a wonderful human being.
I visited the museum with my family and loved it.
This is great! The behind the scenes of Debbie's Las Vegas Hollywood Museum is super interesting especially seeing the beginner version of utilizing that cool technology at that time.
What a remarkable person and performer! Thank you so much for sharing this!
You guys are the best thing on UA-cam. ❤
Really interesting! Your mom would be proud.

You should do a doc about how your Mom “acquired “ all of the things she collected. Such a great story.
Wonderful video!!

Not being coy. What is a "couples comic?"
My mom grandma and her friend met your mom and you. All night they talked. This was oct 1997. Ive met your wife several times. thing out last year at Chiller.
Hi. Can you do an episode about all the details of Debbies friendship with Liberace???? 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I know you've sold many of the more well known pieces but do you have anything in the Academys museum?
They weren't interested
@@catandtoddlive😕
@catandtoddlive aww shit... that's a shame....Debbie's life work not being spotlighted by them. Shame! I'm very disappointed to know that.
Thank you for all you two have done. I appreciate it.
HUH?? Is that Catherine Hickland or Mamie Van Doren? Hard to tell the difference!
This was a real treat, @catandtoddlive !
