Debbie Reynolds, 79, spent more than 40 years and millions of dollars
trying to build a Hollywood memorabilia museum to house her collection
of costumes, cars and props from Tinseltown’s greatest cinematic
productions. On June 18, Debbie Reynolds (who starred in such hit
movies as Singin’ in the Rain and The Unsinkable Molly Brown) will
auction off 600 of the best Hollywood treasures she’s collected over her
lifetime. The rest of her items will be sold in December, with the
estimated profits going toward paying off Reynolds’ debts.
“I’ve always loved movies . . . I’m a fan. But I don’t produce
films. So my small way of contributing was collecting.” In 1971, Fox
went bankrupt, liquidating its assets and Debbie Reynolds swooped in to
build her collection. “Credit card, credit card, credit card . . .
bought me a lot of things,” she explains.
