Unsinkable: A Memoir

by Dorian Hannaway

Debbie Reynolds's first leading role in the classic film, Singin' in the Rain, set her on a path to superstardom. But beneath the glitz and glamour, 'America's Sweetheart' was often miserable. In this tell-all memoir, Debbie recalls the highs and lows of her Hollywood experience. Sharing anecdotes that never made the tabloids, and revealing private details of her marriages and family life, she recounts experiences which are crazier than fiction. Illustrated with dozens of previously unseen photos, Unsinkable shares stories about numerous stars from Hollywood's Golden Age, including Gene Kelly, Ava Gardner, and, of course, Elizabeth Taylor, the best friend who famously ran off with Debbie's first husband. Filled with Debbie's trademark wit, this memoir is a chronicle of courage and tenacity in the face of staggering odds, and will resonate with anyone who has experienced loss and heartbreak.
