On Wednesday, Todd Fisher said he was 'heartbroken' by their back-to-back deaths. 'She's now with Carrie and we're all heartbroken,' he said. While Fisher had made no funeral provisions, Reynolds knew 'exactly' what she wanted, her son previously said. Speaking before her death, he told New York Daily News that his famous mother had already chosen out where she would be buried and that they owned a family plot. All of his sister's estate would be handed over to her only daughter, Billie Lourd, he said.  At the time of their deaths, Reynolds and her daughter enjoyed a happy, close relationship after years of estrangement.They did not speak for 10 years when Fisher was a young adult and battling drug addiction. She would later tell how she 'didn't want to be Debbie Reynolds' daughter', and was haunted by the daunting legacy of her Hollywood legend parents.Reynolds already boasted a dazzling film career by the time she gave birth to Fisher in 1956.Most adored for her role in the 1952 classic Singin' In The Rain, she was among a prestigious crop of actresses who became known the world over for their beauty and on-camera charm.  

Her career was kick started by a beauty pageant in Burbank, California, which she won at the age of 16 in 1948.The daughter of a carpenter from El Paso, Texas, she was born as Mary Frances Reynolds but changed her name after her first taste of stardom. 

After winning the contest, she signed her first contract with Warner Bros and later joined MGM which marked the start of an extraordinary film and television career spanning almost 60 years.Singin' In The Rain was the first of many collaborations she would go on to have with the world's leading male actors.Unable to dance before securing the role of Kathy Selden, she took cues from Gene Kelly, a 'taskmaster' she later said 'worked her toenails to the ground'.
