Debbie Reynolds...

Post by Sue Sue Applegate »

Prayers might be in order, if you believe in that sort of thing. (And I do. :) )

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A publicist says Debbie Reynolds has been hospitalized and is canceling upcoming appearances after suffering an adverse reaction to medication.
Reynolds' publicist Kevin Sasaki says the singer-actress was hospitalized in Los Angeles after having the bad reaction. She is canceling shows and appearances through the end of the year.
Reynolds is famous for her role in "Singin' in the Rain" and earned an Oscar nomination for her gutsy character in "The Unsinkable Molly Brown."
The 80-year-old performs numerous shows and makes appearances each year. She is scheduled to appear on a float promoting pet adoption in the upcoming Rose Parade.
Last year, Reynolds sold her collection of film memorabilia, including dresses worn by Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, for nearly $23 million.

I love that lady, I hope all is well and that it is really just a bad reaction to meds.

I know, Jacks. I've said one or two myself! She is so popular at the TCMFF, and folks just clamored to be at her events.

It sounds as though Ms. Reynolds needs to take it a bit easier. Every day doesn't have to be showtime, does it? I wish her well and hope she takes care of herself.

Maven, she was so much fun at TCMFF!

Joe, I feel the same way.

Moira, she does need to take it easy. I get dizzy just visiting her web page and thinking about her schedule!

Here's an update from Debbie Reynolds Online, a fan page:

Initially, Debbie's representative stated that she would be canceling her engagements for the next three months, but following her release from the hospital on Wednesday (Oct. 10), her manager says that may not be the case.

"We are taking a wait and see position regarding future personal appearances and will abide by the doctor's advice," he says.

Margie Duncan, who works with Reynolds, says she "just needs to take it easy for awhile."

Debbie is enjoying herself on the TCM Cruise 2013. On the first night of the voyage, she was spotted by a Facebook member prancing through the casino and greeting her many fans on board the USS TCM. (It's really a Sixthman Cruise Ship.)
